Been working on this new diet called ‘gym and starve yourself’… you know what, very effective at dropping weight, but you actually can’t control where the weight comes off. That’s the next phase, then I’m bringing it to market. I’ll call it G&SY, remember the brand.
BIG GAME tonight. We have the chance to make up some of that lost ground on Liverpool after they dropped points to United yesterday. We also have the chance to move further ahead of the disaster down the road. They really did make Watford look good at times.
The big question on everyone’s lips tonight is: What is Emery going to do with Mesut Ozil?
It wouldn’t be a question if the manager hadn’t opened the door to the return of his precious creator, but he did, so maybe we’ll see the German in a tough game up north on a cold Monday night.
After two of the longest weeks I’ve had this year, I think we’ve all forgotten what’s going on at Arsenal.
A reminder:
- We are 8 unbeaten.
- We’ve scored 20 goals
- We’re 5th in the league.
A win tonight and we power up to third in the league, a mere point behind FRAUDIOLA and ARTETno.
The hype about the paper numbers has been driven by the folk that seem to have collective amnesia about the similar pattern from last year, but look, if Emery can iron out the kinks, and we can add performances to points, we’ll all happily jump in and state that we are title challengers.
It’s a big game. Sheffield United don’t have a lot of wild individual talent to brag of, however, they do have quite a lot of pace on the wings. They have Luke ‘gone too soon’ Freeman who might come off the bench at some point. Overall, we should be taking the points.
It’ll be interesting to see what the manager does. Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney, the lastest missing pieces in the Emery masterplan, will likely start. Genuinely can’t wait to see the Scotsman play, he’s electric and a real piece of work. His delivery will have Bellerin staying late after training… terribly sorry Hector, St Martins will have move your classes to after hours.
The manager is pumped for the evening and pleased with what he’s seeing.
“I am speaking every day with Raul, Edu, with the players,” he told football.london. “And really we have our way going right and working. Our work is more important than our [words].
“And really now I am very happy the club. I am really happy with the players. The last two, three, four weeks, every player – and Mesut Ozil – are working very well.
“I finished very happy with our work and really this is the way we can be positive and we can think we are going to do something important this year. This is the way I want and I was speaking with Raul, this is the same idea when he is speaking with me.”
He was keen to impress that the kids will get better.
“We can be better in the table, we are third at the moment,” Emery insisted. “We can play better each match. It’s one process.
“Little by little we’re using the young players to achieve the performance, giving them confidence and experience in the matches. Sometimes we need one process. For example Bukayo Saka is improving, helping us and taking a good performance. I know he needs to break more steps ahead in his improvement.
The interesting thing about the kids is they’re the players keeping us going, I’m looking forward to the big names settling, I have very little concern with players like Matteo and Saka. Land me a performance from David Luiz or Nicolas Pepe.
We need an impactful performance this evening, 80% of our goals have come from one man away from home this season. I’m not sure that’s a problem, but it shows h0w dependent we are on his incredible finishing, and it also shows that others aren’t stepping up to the plate.
This evening is a big chance for the front three to shine, I hope he sticks with Saka and I hope Pepe lands a hattrick. Huge game, should be fun, it’s good to be back! x
So many chances, so many utter spastics at the end of them.
I can’t believe we’ve been suckered by Sheffield United. Come on Arsenal. Big push.
At this stage I’d take guen off and keep PEPE on and roll the dice what’s to lose
I’d genuinely take Mourinho over this, and that should be a statement that tells its own story.
We’re passing time with this show, just a whole lot of nothing. The player poverty line is embarrassing too, this a promoted side and we apparently don’t have the players to dominate? Right you are.
Kola is a prick does nothing but short passes and backward.
Heavy crosses or crosses that can’t pass the first man
They ar3 defensively sound united.
This performance has been embarrassing.
Gazzap
I don’t see any quality tbh. End product can be developed and can come good with confidence, but pepe for me lacks real class, isnt a mazy dribbler, doesn’t have a crazy first touch isnt a trickster or flair player or have that lethal pacr and instinct of auba. He just seems very meh to me.
Put graham potter in charge of this squad do we do any worse? Not sure how you could argue otherwise
I have to say Chambers has been a little bit decent in this shower of shit show
Why.only get aggressive now?
We don’t deserve a point playing like this
Big ten minutes.
Harry Potter would do better
WE
More like depressing. A little reminiscent of last season when we had the chance to pull away and secure top four we failed against the lower teams.
I can’t see Emery being success. He doesnt have what it takes tonget top 4 and then build from there.
Chambers no winger
Put someone there ffs
Can’t play thru middle when they park the bus
Emery is the best coach
Paulinho
One and a half season and we can’t still judge our manager on merit ? Lampard has had more influence on Chelsea in one and a half month than El Bufon. Arsenal under Emery is timid, ponderous, rudderless and unimaginative. We struggle as much against the likes of Brighton and Sheffield as we do against City and Liverpool.
Emery is run out of idea. Our attack is slow and predictable.
Losing emery and his staff would,cost around 10-12 million.
Keep him, and you are throwing away a potential 40 million champions league bounty.
Do the math Edu
Emery is incapable of dealing with English teams doing what English teams do , even worse than Wenger was at the end
Lose this fraud
Wow, chance for us to take third and we’re shitting the bed..Chelsea grafting away and they couldn’t spend….Lampard showing he can manage a team better than Emery, who has been around longer in the management job….what a shit manager we’ve got here
Stop giving it to Kolasinac and chambers on the wings. If we want to use the wings then Saka and Martinelli should be available out there
Sok is such a cart hourse
Cmon any free kicks burn time
Wow we are going to lose to this bang average side how shit are we ?
@ David smith……spot on
Terrible, terrible….Emery has to go
‘I don’t see any quality tbh. End product can be developed and can come good with confidence, but pepe for me lacks real class, isnt a mazy dribbler, doesn’t have a crazy first touch isnt a trickster or flair player or have that lethal pacr and instinct of auba. He just seems very meh to me.’
Agree, it’s the end product that I’m least worried about as that’s massively down to confidence as you say.
His technique leaves a lot to be desired for a 70m signing.
We can’t get out of out box now…
We have gone backwards
Emery out
Embarrassing.
Shambles. 3 minutes on the clock and we are playing triangles out of the back
Saka defending
We all knew this would happen.
It’s becoming tiresome. Predictable performance away from an emery Arsenal team yet again.
Can’t support the guy anymore.
Not acceptable by any level
TR7 – Yes, and Chelsea have much better midfielders than we do. I think I’ve only said that a hundred times now.
Chelsea are no different than under Sarri, it’s just that Abraham and Mount give them something different because of what they are as players. Nothing to do with Lampard’s special philosophy sauce.
Has emery got a fit daughter? Can only think Torriera has done a zaha the way he is being treated
Fucking hell, 9 passes and still couldn’t get 10 yards further than the penalty area.
I’m actually laughing at this shit now.
Emery will do the Teeth Airing thing again. Just needs Gromit and some cheese to complete the caricature.
Losing to a barrow boy manager…
I like ceballos but he does look like a southgate estate agent
DS
Here, here.
This is just unbearable….
Did anyone expect anything different? Emery OUT!
That should have been lenos ball. Poor keeping.
Pepe has no poise and balance. I have never seen an unbalanced player go on to become a top player.
only a free fall would get UE fired
We are always in the mix so dont expect that
Sorry Emery out.
I can see us losing all the next 5 games really at this rate.
fuck just end this misery already
Paulinho – no they don’t , the fact they are winning doesn’t make them better players than last year.
lol…..are we going to lose this game??????
I’m sorry to say but whoever still blindly support emery after this shit show truly needs his brain checked
Serious lack or urgency from our centre backs to get it forward
Still waiting to enjoy a game under emery
DFUG – They do. Willock wouldn’t get anywhere near their squad. He would be on loan to some shit Dutch club.
Squad is alright. Its Emery thats the problem.
Weagle
Think you’re being harsh with Pepe, but looking back would you have taken Zaha over him?
I was banging that drum because of what he’d bring that we lack, physicality, strength, speed, trickery.
Was dismissed because he doesn’t score 20 goals a season, but for me he’d have been a huge land and instantly given us a thread of hope in this garbage time.
Has Aubameyang even touch the ball this half????????????
Emery is an embarrassment and a disgrace. Time to bring in someone who knows what the fuck he’s doing.
DUIFG -they are the same lot they had under sarri.kovacic isn’t overnight a top player – as a unit lampard is extracting more than sarri
Is there any of us who saw anything happening other than what has , classic Arsenal tonight
Please Raul do us the favour and fire the bumbling fool.
Dare I say , we could do with Ozil on the pitch to bring some intelligence, creativity and composure to our play….
Fuck sake
What the fuck are these players doing???? What sort of cross is that from Guen and then from Chambers?
Unfortunetly we have got two many good players for Emery to fail badly.
Win against crap on Thursday and all is forgiven.
Edu needs to show some balls now.
I think Emery will do well enough not to ger sacked with us ultimately faillling just outside of top 4.
I don’t think Emery will last another season though.
Tbf we have some decent players the future is bright if we bring in a quality manager like conte whose way to good for inter.
I don’t know what to feel anymore fury apathy numbness no words can express my raging storm of feels I’m having right now
Emery out
Wenger in
Glad I’ve only seen a few minutes of this. This is absolutely dire stuff and you wonder how long we have to deal with it.
Ourselves to blame.
That’s Emery.
Can’t lost this one ffs…
Edu and Sanllehi, please sack this man already!!!!!!
They don’t need to be top elite players to be significantly better than the crap we have.
Get me a sangria on your way out emery, serving padron peppers is all you’re good for
Emery out!!!!
10 points already behind Liverpool.
Emery FUCK OFF.
we don’t have crap players we have a crap manager
So one dimensional we can’t play through the centre at all. Its always to the full backs and then a shite cross.
Emery isn’t showcasing them multiole patterns or drills.
Mike Dean wasting time. The cunt!
Fair play Paulinho if you think players are the sole way out of this then you will be waiting a while
If I don’t see. Emery and sack in the same sentence, Arsenal are done for me.
Emery is a fvckin cunt
Is anyone actually surprised
It happens time and time again
They have the chance to move up a couple of places and shit their pants
CUNTS
You know the Emery interview goi g to infuriate even more.
Pour me some sangria then fuck off and have a siesta. You’ve been shite son.
Side ways, backwards, backwards, sideways, sideways, backwards………………….!
Enough already. Emery out!
That’s a bad result, but make no mistake about it, that was a fucking joke of a performance. International break, promoted side, and we got completely tooled with.
We need a new manager, simple as that.
Seriously Emery needs to go.
Crime is inability to extract performance out of a not bad squad
And don’t tell me Emery focuses on winning his favourite Europa
Pepe miss cost us tonight.
Might as well bring in Wenger for the rest of the season.
Dear Santa, please can I have a new manager for Christmas. Thank you.
Predictable.
Result and performance.
Suggests we start planning for the next manager.
Same story. Hurried second half with a flurry of changes because he bottled the selection.
There are some good players here not getting a proper look in in the EPL because Emery bottles his decision making.
Charlie
I am being harsh you’re right, he deserves at least a season to be fair I’m just a bit taken aback by how much he’s struggling.
Re Zaha, not a massive fan of his either for the money that was touted. Better players were available on the continent for less than both but that would actually require scouts who don’t have both their thumbs up their arse.
Make no mistake. This is a damning loss. Absolutely nothing on show.
No clue. With all the possession we simply have no plan of attack, no system, no strategy.
We pass around at the back and hope they will part like the Red Sea.
Truly truly awful. Did not deserve anything from that. If fact it was so bad, we shuld be deducted points😥
I actually can’t stand the cunt, and his stupid incoherent way of speaking. He’s going to speak absolute nonsense.
What exactly does Emery practice in training?
nothing that I can see any sembelance of additional effort.
Not cohesion in attack.
Terrible D still.
What exactly do we do better?
He’s got to go now. What’s the point in keeping him on – nothing changes, strange team selections and doesn’t learn from mistakes. Freddie as caretaker.
There you go, “nothing is different under Unai Emery” says Jamie Carragher.
It’s finally landing among the pundits.
Mourinho in.
This was embarrassing.
Emery fucking out of our club. This is unacceptable.
Hillwood
Well we still have not beaten Sheff Utd. Pathetic.
That’s a painful defeat against a team seriously lacking in any real ability. You simply cannot afford to let teams get 1-0 up like that. away from home up north coming back from 1-0 is really hard. got to learn to defend better than that.
Second half lots of possession but really lacked urgency or pace to get it into dangerous areas. final ball was often inaccurate. #emeryout
Wenger in! Lol.
