MESUT OZIL POSTED SOMETHING ON THE INTERNET.
WHAT. COULD. THIS. MEAN.
Some say that Mustafi said something funny. Cool thought, but seriously, who posts a picture of themselves laughing because someone said something funny? It’s the sort of thing I might have done as a youngster if I was trying to impress a girl… potentially the reason I am 35 and still unmarried, crying into a soft cuddly toy of my first love, who incidentally made me laugh*.
Mesut man, I hear you on this post.
Just kidding. The post is weird and because I am FULL ON conspiracy mode today, I’m going to say that Mesut has heard something from Big Unai that made him FAUX LOL. Is he dropped?
Who knows…
I was thinking about how violently public opinion has turned against the manager. Quite unbelievable. I’m not one for ‘I told you so’ type rhetoric (totes am), but you know, it was pretty clear this manager didn’t know where he was taking us very early on (see). I’m gonna put it out there, I think the famous presentation was fictitious. The idea peddled that Emery, a man who still doesn’t know his best team after 15 months, somehow had a dossier of every Arsenal player, with a detailed tactical plan is, well, bollocks.
Anyway, patience is a reward for progress, if you can’t see where something is going after 3 months, chances are, the sat nav is fucked. 15 months in, where are we? Same place we were last season.
Anyway, outside patting myself on the back, I do wonder how much personality has to play in this shift in sentiment. I know people think sauce is an intangible nonsense, but Jose Mourinho can hold sway over people even when he’s tanking. Emery is 5th and people are burning effigies and filing complaints to the European Court of Human Rights.
“Sometimes we forget the memory and we need to remember,” Emery said. “When I arrived, this team needed to be more competitive. Arsenal, in their history, were winning 1-0 and being very competitive, but it was not enough.
“Then [they went through] the process of being competitive and with improved creativity. When I arrived here, the creativity was more or less good, but being competitive was worse. It was not enough.
What I love about this quote is he is accepting we were pretty good for creativity… but lacked a competitive edge. I love that, because he’s scorched any of the last remnants of our attacking play with napalm and pretty much doubled down on all the things we hated about Wenger teams.
We don’t defend. Motivation is intermittent. We appear to be soft.
Emery oversaw the biggest bottle job in the history of the Premier League, gifting 3rd to Spurs. He also put on the most tepid cup final performance I’ve ever seen. I was told the players were so unfocused, they spent more time bitching about going to Azerbaijan a day early, than getting into the match. Apparently, it was quite clear players heads weren’t where they should have been before the game. How does a manager allow that to happen? Because he doesn’t understand the language and I think he struggles to feel out the energy of a squad. We were so far from competitive in that final, it was hard to be angry, we were that bad.
If Emery had a better grasp of the English language, I doubt he’d have delivered the above comment in such a terse way. If he had the demeanour and sauce of Allegri, he’d probably have explained where he was taking us. If he had the fire of Mourinho, he’d probably have savaged the fans for doubting him. If he had youth on his side, we’d probably forgive where we are right now. If he was worth his salt, the fans would clearly understand the vision of where the football club was going. There are gaps, so we fill them with complaints. He can’t control the fan narrative, he can’t control the Ozil narrative, he can’t get the players to understand what he wants to do.
His response was to fire an impassioned lie at us with zero charm. It was a dick pic for the first Tinder message. I’m not sure there’s a way back, he’s well and truly entered the lame-duck zone as manager. I’d be very surprised if Edu and Raul thought any differently.
The team will have the chance to shine today, we’ll likely decimate Vitoria, but they are bang average. Also, the fans are wising up to the realities of what the Europa League is… 3 tough games at the backend of the tournament. It’s a joke up until the semi-finals.
Right, on that note, tuck into the podcast we recorded yesterday.

Clean sweep I’m afraid 🙂
Pedro
You think the EL final was worse than the league cup the year before?
It’d be interesting to see what would happen if we didn’t get out of the group stages. With Europa out of the picture, what would emery’s plan to get us into champions league next season be?
And the war rages on at Banter FC with Ozil nosing ahead and looking to outlast UE, levels this club have fallen in public eye are pretty incredible.
Que a big win and how good we played tonight.
I’m over it.
Come on Arsenal. Emery bore off.
Sadly Pedro was right about Emery.
Next manager must be world class. No fucking around or this crap will continue forever.
Get Diego. Also Pep is surely close to the end of City stay? Big no to first time managers.
With Emery it’s all rhetoric, we must improve nonsense, there’s no real plan in progress.
Europa is his level playing pub teams until the semis.
Struggles to beat teams in the lower half of the EPL.
We need to move on now
That Emery quote is pretty special as is the breakdown of it.
Sums up the situation for the past 8-9 months quite nicely.
Excellent post Pedders. That part about being angry after the EL Final… that was me. I was absolutely fuming. This was not helped by the fact that I absolutely hate Chelski. As I have said previously, for me he has double-fucked up: he sacrificed the final 6 games of last season in the gamble that he would win the final (remember Raul and Vinai gushing over Unai and his experience in the EL? His comfort blanket…) And then managed to fuck up the final itself by totally underestimating Chelski and unable to get the team focused for such an important… Read more »
Is it possible they will wait for Luis Enrique, who may be ready to step back in this summer after the recent tragic event in his family?
We need someone who knows how to coach offense as well as defense.
We need to find our swagger and use our firepower – its under utilized.
Need to get 2 new CB as well
Emery: “Sometimes we forget the memory and we need to remember. When I arrived here, this team needed to improve being more competitive. When I arrived here, the creativity is more or less good, but being competitive was worse. It was not enough.”
You know a manager’s time is up when he is forced to defend his work before the media. And like that of his team, Emery’s defense of his tenure at Arsenal is very poor.
I dont mind Enrique-
Did well at Barca…
However, we need someone to bring the swagger back… and we need to move better OFF the ball. We are way to precictable with the slow build up and pass around the box all the time. yawn
Ozil-Emery transcript (Ozil trying to avoid eye contact, shake hands fast and move) Emery- Mesuut Good Ebenin. You are going to play tomorrow. Mesut- Ok (Still trying to walk away) Emery- No Mesut show some energy today also I want you to create 10 chances and make 10 tackles and interception. Mesut-(raising his hands) But I also want to play in the Premier league. Emery- No!No!No!No! Mesut we are imprrovin and doing one step in the league. Above all first we need balance and creativity but we need more good in offense.But a you are training hard and only really… Read more »
Emery: “I think last year I started to improve being competitive, also more or less creativity with some very good matches playing with that creativity. This year we are in that process but also with patience…We changed 10 players and continuing being competitive.”
Competitive is the new ‘cohesion’. One wonders on what basis is Emery terming his team as ‘competitive’.
I’m still thinking about how boring and unfocused our attack remains. It’s easy to see the holes on defense……I guess anger st the manager is where the focus needs to be. How many great passes has there been in one month? How many selections immediately tick you off? How do we remain mediocre in the face of so much talent not mobilized? Yes we must play our younger players……but with what strategic plan and support system. Small successes for younger players are critical. Emery-must go.
You don’t have to have a midfield that is very creative or scores lots of goals. Liverpool overall don’t have this type of midfield. But they compensate and give more support to their front three as we know from their fullbacks. Chelsea have decent fullbacks plus attacking midfielders that are going to be a threat. You can go different ways here. The problem for Arsenal atm is that they don’t have a creative goal scoring midfield nor very good attacking fullbacks being selected. They lack both. Emery has what looks like a couple of fullbacks that could improve on this… Read more »
Who cares about Mesut Ozil. A wimp and luxury play extraordinaire.
It’s poor really to use Ozil to beat Emery with.
There are so many things Emery can be beaten with but to use Mesut Ozil as a weapon is low level stuff really.
Only Arsenal fans would be pining for such a limp player to return.
Ishola
Word….
would like to see Martinelli rip apart this team we play tonight.
His tenacity is pretty awesome.
“Arsenal can have a hardworking midfield full of CMs but only if Emery gets the fullback positions purring offensively.”
I’ve been led to believe Guendouzi is hard-working and creative, or are people back-tracking on that one now.
That’s what you want, a hard working middle core that holds the pitch surrounded by the more attacking, pacey, direct players.
Leno
Bellerin, Holding, Luiz, Tierney
Dani Ceballos, Torreira, Guendouzi
Pepe, Laca, Auba
It gives you basically a staple shaped attacking edge (RB, RW, ST, LW, LB) which wraps around the hard working, tenacious, mobile centre.
huff and puff while struggling with all PL teams including newly-promoted ones is what he define as ‘”competitive”
Yes ,a load of Bollocks.Just thinking on a walk on the sea front.Holding midfielder,Kevin Richardson came in my head.
Paulinho
”I’ve been led to believe Guendouzi is hard-working and creative, or are people back-tracking on that one now.”
He falls more into the hardworking category at this time.
He could improve creativity over time.
at least he can spray his passes if he able to get forward like that assist to Auba
Ishola “I’m sure many would rather see these fullbacks put into play by Emery than rely on the wet blanket that is Mesut Ozil. Cesc Appeal touched on it earlier. Arsenal can have a hardworking midfield full of CMs but only if Emery gets the fullback positions purring offensively.” Here’s an idea If the full backs were unavailable to “purr offensively ” then why not find another avenue(Ozil) of creativity until the 2 full backs are ready to ” purr offensively “. Instead , what we have had is the same old whinging excuses from the know nothing’s imploring us… Read more »
Paulinho has a lot of patience for Emery but little for Guendouzi 🙂
What do people think about deploying Luiz as a deep lying midfielder ? For me he is better suited to play the position than Xhaka.
TR7 One wonders on what basis is Emery terming his team as ‘competitive’. I wonder whether the clubs definition of competitive is simply that we are in the top 4 and in the CL, with all the prestige and money that comes with it …. just in like AW days? I mean why the fuck does Unai keep babbling about playing “in our way”. Doesn’t that sound like this came right out of one AW manuals? Sounds odd to be saying that? Or is it just a poor rendition of one of Arsenal Marketing Department ™ slogans “Playing The Arsenal… Read more »
Pierre
The fullbacks that people are hoping on can fall flat on their faces. There is no given.
As well as selecting Bellerin and Tierney Emery of course has to work with them to make them key attacking players in the side. No good just throwing them in.
But people are hoping on the fullbacks because they have seen enough of Ozil and know what he is about from previous.
The hope of the fullbacks is a new aspect for the team.
Mesut Ozil is an old tired aspect for the team.
Paulinho “I’ve been led to believe Guendouzi is hard-working and creative, or are people back-tracking on that one now.” Guendouzi will never be a player that scores or makes a lot of goals. He is not a particularly good striker of a football , hence he rarely passes a ball more than ten yards. In saying that , Patrick Vieira only very rarely during his career did he hit a ball from distance , can think of a couple, Newcastle and Charlton come to mind . He rarely played a long ball so it is not essential for a midfielder… Read more »
TR7
“What do people think about deploying Luiz as a deep lying midfielder ? For me he is better suited to play the position than Xhaka.”
He’ll be shit defensively as well.
Most of his clownish defending is done right on the edge of his own penalty area or just outside playing CB.
Ishola
” But people are hoping on the fullbacks because they have seen enough of Ozil and know what he is about from previous.”
Of course, you completely missed the point of what I was saying …..am I surprised ..no.
My word!
This Unai man is gonna get me hospitalized sooner than later.
His English is even worse than his tactics!
SMH!
TR7
“Paulinho has a lot of patience for Emery but little for Guendouzi 🙂”
Is that because no one is good enough to step into Aaron Ramsey’s boots .
Didn’t Enrique want something like £16million to come here after we removed Wenger ?
Willing to bet Emery doesn’t know the meaning of ‘competitive’, basically his English is horrible and pitiful and his pressers are full of waffles devoid of anything meaningful
Never seen a more sauceless coach of a football team.
“Guendouzi will never be a player that scores or makes a lot of goals.”
Agree, which is why I found it bizarre that some fans thought he should play in a free role in front of two deeper midfielders. Of course, that was mooted because he can’t really defend.
So, a player that can’t defend, or create or score goals. We’ve got a lot to look forward to eh.
What’s with the constant English language dig? Lay off, Emery. It is getting very annoying now. It can’t be that easy to learn a new language in a year whilst managing a top club.
It gets more annoying when you factor in the fact united are dogshite this season,spuds are out of sort and Poch is getting horribly found out
Chavs are flying and will probably run away from the chasing pack and nail down 3rd in the next few weeks
Basically we’ll be shoo-in for 4th if we didn’t have such a dud as manager
Did i just read that emery said: “we are receiving less goals”?
My God!
when will this misery associated with AFC end?
Really envious of the Chav fans this minute.. They’re really enjoying themselves this season, playing exciting football with a chunk of their academy’s brightest talents..Basically everything the arsenal fan base would give a arm for
Must also be buzzing having such a smart and young manager in Lamps who is quite frankly a very likable character
Complete and painful contrast to what’s going on at Arsenal.. Honestly We couldn’t have done any worse in giving Arteta a go..Missed the boat there big time
Good ebenin….i play Xhaka today, for competitive….tank u
Did i just read that emery said: “we are receiving less goals”?
My God!

My mate who is a chav fan is laughing his nutsacks out..can’t believe how we managed to settle for the guy.
Embarrassing the club now Mr bland.
Funny that Chelsea are giving Lamps a go and we hesitate over Freddie.
Give him a go after all it’s the clubs cheapest option .
MG is not a DM, CM, or AM. He is just a midfielder!
I thought EMR was Ramsey’s designate from last season.
He’s fit. So?
Unlike many who post on here I was prepared to give Emery time to make his mark on the team. I recognised that the club needed to offload a lot of dross and recruit some decent players. I had hoped also that the club would find solutions to our leaky defence. What we have seen sofar this season are some fairly insipid performances with the same mistakes being made in defence but even more worryingly regression in performance of our midfield. Tactically we are poor in our games against EPL opposition. We have struggled if the truth be known in… Read more »
‘So, a player that can’t defend, or create or score goals. We’ve got a lot to look forward to eh.’ While I agree Guen has some way to go before he becomes a solid contributor in both defense and attack, I think he has shown glimpses of his ability in attack and his defensive game has improved from last season. He is never going to be a creative and silky attacking player but I can see him become a Ramires type of player -someone who can score odd goals, be in and around the opposition box to help other attacking… Read more »
TR7
“become a Ramires type of player -someone who can score odd goals, be in and around the opposition box to help other attacking players and yet contribute in defense.”
Exactly ..a team player ..not a glory hunter.
I worry for our youngsters also,Saka seem to be regressing badly now compared to his initial breakthrough performances were he seemed to have several springs to his step and was very confident with the ball Looks like Emery has gotten to him and was obviously confused against Sheffied where he either lost or misplaced the ball a few times, would take him out of the 11 for now Imagine him under Lamps or Klopp? Pepe is a complete different case though ,not a type of player that can blossom under Mr bland.. Will save my judgement on him until I… Read more »
TR7 – Here are Ramirez’s goals(34) for Chelsea. Guendouzi hasn’t shown anything approaching what Ramirez offered Chelsea, or shown he possess any of his off the ball assets, or pace, or finishing ability.

Hu, this is top level sport mate, he’s paid £6m. His English is an abomination.
totally agree with you about they fictitious ‘dossier’, and have thought so for a long time. That was classic Gazidis. He needed to sell Emery to the fans as the board’s choice, given the expectations and the big names being thrown around. So he came up with a classic piece of PR, unprovable and as convincing as his many other empty and superficial statements. When Saka said in an interview that he couldn’t understand what Emery was saying to him, and had to ask Freddie, it just confirmed the appearance that the team gives – that they haven’t a clue… Read more »
Someone made a summarized 9 minute video of Mike Riley’s performance when United ended our unbeaten run and I am even more annoyed now.It was very shocking and I cant understand how this man is leading referees currently.Gary Neville alone had 3 different occasions that warranted sending off ffs
As usual it will be all about the money to sack Emery, the club never factor in the loss on sales, and other revenues due to the loss of interest in the club.
Being out of the EC is a big loss.
Looser manager for the Loosers cup.
Great stuff heh.

Paulinho
Obviously you are being deliberately stupid .
Guendouzi is 20 years old …I’m sure in 5/6/7 years time there will be a compilation video of his 4 or 5 goals a season similar to the one you have posted to prove a point about Ramirez .
TR7 didn’t say he was a Lampard or a Gerrerd did he ..
I think many here had unrealistic expectations of what Emery, or any other coach, could do with half assed squad he inherited. I am not a huge fan of Emery, he could be fired tomorrow and I would not care, but he done good job stabilize the squad and will give our next manager something to work with. I give Emery much credit for not letting it go tits up last season, unlike Moyes at manure, and now he introducing youth into our squad. Pep did interview a couple of weeks ago and said he not playing Foden often because… Read more »
Really got to feel for Pepe, he’s gone from a Lille’s side with the style of play absolutely tailored around him to a complete mess with Emery and his protagonist and chameleon waffle You could see he’s quality from watching his general output and influence on the ball but absolutely freezes over when it comes down to sticking the ball into the net Raul would have rotten eggs plastered all over his face if he doesn’t come good, pretty obvious he told to C.Palace to fvck off with the Zaha nonsense and instead chose to pursue 72M Pepe The Pepe… Read more »
Ozil omitted from the squad again! 🤣
Arsenal: Martinez, Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Tierney, Torreira, Willock, Maitland-Niles, Martinelli, Smith Rowe, Lacazette

It proves that Emery is full of

“As usual it will be all about the money to sack Emery” As I understand most modern contracts have payoff clauses that stop a manager picking up the full amount left on the contract – you’d hope that Gazidis had the common sense to put that into Emery’s contract or at least Sanllehi had the input to make sure a clause was put into it. There’s also still a bit of ambiguity over whether Emery has a two years contract with an option for a third year or a 3 year contract with an option for a break after 2… Read more »

Remove AMN,Mustafi and Smith-Rowe and this team should be starting our EPL matches
Pierre – No I’m afraid you’re the dense one. Guendouzi plays nothing like Ramirez, Ramirez played in tucked in wide position, and was naturally athletic and fast and used those attributes to contribute in lots of different ways, mostly off the ball . Guendouzi is slow, but tries to offset this by constantly moving and trying to dictate with the ball. His pace and off the ball game is non-existent. You see what a player is when he is 20 and then it’s all about tweaking and adding consistency and maturity. Guendouzi, if he was going to ever score any… Read more »
would much rather give Freddie a go than Arteta who is clearly a different man to Lamps who went out an actually proved he could manage at the lower leagues and doens’t just sit there behind pep looking all smug as if he has done it all and freddie is a true gooner
I wonder if UE is convinced he is going to win the EL? Now that could be some serious egg on the face if he doesn’t get to the final and win it.
Mesut may not play more than 30 games a season, now.
But we all know if he plays in those upcoming games, there are bound to be 15-20 goals, on the back of many more chances created. Period.
He is that good on and off the ball, movement and his passes will find Pepe, Auba and Laca. If we could see that much work involved, its a joy to behold, let alone we win anything worthwhile this season.
Punai is just a Prick..roll the carpet on for Freddie in January pls..
I wonder if UE is convinced he is going to win the EL? Now that could be some serious egg on the face if he doesn’t get to the final and win it.
What like he was last season when got abused by trophyless Sarri in the final? Lol
Does that mean it’s a Torreira, Willock, AMN midfield 3 with Smith Rowe, Martinelli, Lacazette as forwards?
I start to understand why people said that the Arsenal coaching job is too big for a lot of coaches. You’ll need special sauce to confront fans from all over the world.
Paulinho
Guen doesn’t have Ramirez’s pace but off the ball movement is not some innate talent that you either have it or don’t. Sterling was a ball hogger at Liverpool and now he is one of the smartest off the ball players in the league. You are simply ruling out Guen improving his off the ball game over time.
Torreira and Willock will be CM. I am not sure whether AMN or Smith Rowe plays RW. Most likely, Smith Rowe will continue to play RW.
Victorious
Well it look like he is doing that. Fielding the kind of team we should be seeing in the PL in the EL.
TR7 – Disagree strongly. One of the biggest misconceptions about is that it’s easy to just make runs into the box. Managers have tried – and failed – to get Ross Barkley to do it for many years. Players always revert to their comfort zone or natural instinct in tough times, same as any other sportsman. So Guendouzi might make an off the ball run when we are 3-0 up or playing against some shit team, but if it’s a big game at Old Trafford or Anfield then no chance. Same way Ozil has no problem making runs in behind… Read more »
If theres one thing we all know, tonight will be enjoyable. League games are a drag now and as I’ve said, to be in the country for this long and still have such disjointed, incoherant English is appaling of Emery.
Prime example Ross Barkley doing it against Bulgaria when England were in cruise control.
ES
Correct, our priority should be the EPL not the EL.
Unfortunately, Emery doesn’t see it that way.
Another reason why he should go.
Paulinho
Ramires averaged about 5 goals per season throughout his career .
hardly prolific .
You’re talking about him as if he’s Lampard or Gerrard.
He averages about the same per season as Aaron Ramsey …I’m sure Guendouzi can
get close to those very average figures.
Paulinho “off the ball game is non-existent.” Not true. His off the ball game against Newcastle away was very good. His man of the match performance against Spurs was the best individual performance by any Arsenal player this season. He has contributed and in a positive manner in other matches. Of course he has improvement to do and is still progressing on the job. Guendouzi is down the list for players to be ragging on. He has been one bright spot in an otherwise drab team this season. We wouldn’t be so critical of him if he had a senior… Read more »
No Ozil what’s going on?
Guys hardly played this season.
Emery’s lack of grip in basic English language after so much time in the country painfully brings to the fore how slow he is
He took an eternity for him to realize AMN is not a RB
Not expecting him to realize anytime soon he is fielding his best players in the shitty Europa as opposed the EPL, has his priorities all misplaced and confused just like last season
We won’t see the likes of Tierney,Torreira,Holding and Bellerin starting any EPL game until the guy is gone
Pierre – Nice to see you were triggered enough to consults stats, as always though it just further exposes your inability to grasp what is being discussed, notably that Ramirez plays nothing like Guendouzi.
Ramirez didn’t just make 34 off the ball runs in his Chelsea career, and they didn’t all have to lead to goals to be extremely effective.
Ishola – So Guendouzi made runs ahead of the ball into the box against Newcastle?
Ozil not even in the squad. Fuck Emery, seriously.
Spanishdave
“No Ozil what’s going on?
Guys hardly played this season.”
What would be the purpose of seeing Ozil strolling around against second rate european opposition?
These games should be used to give playing time for the upcoming younger players.
If Ozil is match fit let’s see him in the tougher EPL matches. That’s a true indicator.
The only benefit of seeing Ozil against second rate european opposition is for his fan boys to say told you so.
Boom laca laca boom boom boom boy you cause confushon when you walk in a de box
Paulinho
“So Guendouzi made runs ahead of the ball into the box against Newcastle?”
No he was good off the ball in a defensive sense against Newcastle.
Lots of harrying and breaking up the Newcastle midfield.
So to say that he has a non-existent off the ball game seems a bit harsh.
Maybe tonight Ozil could get match fit.
When’s the last time he did 90 mins?
Ishola – It’s not about ragging on Guendouzi as such, it’s exposing the bogus narrative that Emery has some great squad full of talent, when whatever talent we have is very samey, and you need a blend of talent to play dynamic football.
