KING PEPE DELIVERS, but Emery continues to flunk

by .

Ain’t no party like a Thursday night party… was literally me until last night.

Overall, what a shite game that was.

The kids offered us up a prime serving of first-team-T-bone steak and it was not delicious.

Our midfield was porous, the defence was all over the place, and we made a pub team look as dangerous as the menace that was Sheffield United on Monday.

We went one goal down after 8 minutes. The familiar theme of having no midfield to protect the defence was apparent. Three of our ‘THEY’LL SAVE EMERY’ defenders conspired to give Edwards space to convert from 8 yards (Hector, KT, RH). Very embarrassing, but at least only 50% of of the stadium was there to see it.

You kind of hoped it was just a typical Emery start, that maybe we’d clunk back into gear and start treating the Portuguese outfit with the disrespect they deserved. We didn’t, we actually managed to make things worse. Zero shape in the middle, constantly exposed to the counter-attack, organisational chaos all around.

We clawed one back though, Kieran Tierney found the head of the Brazilian Kevin Davies, 5 goals for Gabriel. Sadly, it didn’t take long to gift the advantage back, AMN, sitting in centre midfield, turned into traffic, Vitoria broke against a weak damn and breached with a response within 4 minutes.

All I can say about the second half is the manager subbed in the correct players, namely, Nicolas Pepe. The much-maligned Ivorian showed his class with two brilliant freekicks from different positions. The first was from further out and curled precisely into the far left of the goal. The second was a rocket from closer range at the death from about 20 yards.

Majestic. BUT WHERE WAS THE GOAL IN OPEN PLAY?! Just jokes kids, I love Pepe.

So what did we learn?

Well, it seems clear that Unai Emery is losing the PR battle. He was booed fairly at half time by the 12 fans that bothered to show up to the game. His second string were as insipid as the regulars. We were a mess and my diagnosis is that the Premier League infection finally spread to the Europa League kids. We didn’t deserve to win, but we did. Last season, fans would have buried their heads in ‘BUT THIS IS WENGER’S TEAM,’ this season, I think people are wising up to the reality… performances matter and we’re still not delivering them.

The reality of the Emery is this: It doesn’t matter who he puts on the pitch, no one has a fucking clue what he wants. The gap between midfield and attack is so wide, it often looks insurmountable, the only option is a long ball… then when play switches, all our midfielders are behind the play. There’s no structure to our setup. Do we even bother playing between the lines? Our midfield seems offended by the concept, which makes our play incredibly one-dimensional.

Kieran Tierney, Rob Holding and Hector Bellerin all add a bit of quality to proceedings, but they can’t fix an average manager that lacks the basic skills… like, you know, communicating in English.

It’s quite amazing that I had to debate the merits of language last season, but it’s so fucking obvious, if you can’t master the native tongue, you’re going to fail. Above is Robin, one of the greatest Arsenal strikers I’ve ever witnessed, calling out the fucking obvious: Communication matters. Poor English is a barrier, but more to the point, even if you could speak Spanish, would the ideas be any clearer? Doubtful.

Can I just repeat: People challenged the view that hiring a coach that couldn’t speak English was a bad idea. Seriously. That’s the internet at its best.

Mesut Ozil continues to be a problem. He’s out here posting a picture of himself looking like your mum’s best friend Trisha who works in ESSEX TRIMS in Clapton and the internet has gone wild.

‘Babes, I’m like, Trisha Gandhi right now, frosted tips and non-violent protest always’

The whole internet reacted viciously to his omittance from the squad. A bit unfair, Mesut hangs out with dictators, probably injured himself playing computer games last season, and he seems to have a deeper aversion to a hard days work than that bitch grasshopper who fucked about all summer while the squirrel gathered nuts. Point is, only Emery could lose a PR war to someone that’s a dosser. To be clear, I’m on Ozil’s side for no real reason other than the slight suspicion that if Emery is for something, I should be against it.

Emery won the battle yesterday, but perversely, that was another savage blow on his effort in the mighty war.

A lot of Arsenal players liked that androgynous Ozil Instagram picture. That tells you something. Firstly, they have bad taste in pictures, secondly, the players are siding with their teammate. When things go south for Emery, it’s going to be a tsunami that strikes him… and it’ll be far more brutal than anything Wenger ever faced.

Why? Because the players know they can end Emery.

This flunkey faced zombie coach actually made a case for Ramsey deal to collapse and he then began dissing Ozil.

Ramsey and Ozil, a combination that retained the Arsenal identity in the midfield.

This Spanish Mr Bean destroyed it.

But Bamford says he is hardworking, honest, earnest and decent; and I guess since Bamford and him are flatmates, one should agree.

Bamford didn’t give a fuck about previous coaches or players being hard working or earnest

Cesc,

Maybe we can get Mourinho in as a translator to make Emery’s ideas more intelligible to the players. Doubt whether it would work though, Marc was saying that even Torreira couldn’t understand him and they both speak the same language!

Pierre

In defence of Ceballos , he is playing in a position ( CAM) where the manager hasn’t a clue how to get the best out of the player.

There is a list , and they have all failed to produce , my theory is that Emery looks at the defensive potential rather than the creative potential when choosing a player to play there.

Ramsey
Ozil
Smith Rowe
Ceballos
Willock
Torreira.

Anytime now I expect to see xhaka line up as our CAM.

Both Arsenal and ManUtd went the safe pair of hand approach. The coaches who have been there and done it. And it did not worked. So why not try the left field approach. The not so safe, but with a lot more potential uplift. Nagelmann – he may never have coached in England but neither did Klopp or Pep Allegri – not so much the left field option. Could be already on his way to ManUtd. Added bonus of messing their plan.

I think the most successful coaches/managers definitely are the leader types but being a leader is something you can’t teach or learn. You either are a leader or you’re not. You definitely don’t need to be a good leader to be a good coach though, you can be good at coaching tactics, drills and technical skills without being a leader. Bergkamp is a good coach but said himself he’s not a leader and doesn’t want to be the main man. You can get very good coaches but without that natural leadership they will never be the very best.

By the way you seem to regard any response to your post that do not wholeheartedly agree with you as insults…get over yourself man.

Emery has had better win percentages than Galtier in all his jobs as coach. He has also won things along the way while finishing higher up the table in a more competitive league. It’s fanciful to believe anyone can walk in and outperform him simply because you happen to rate them and not him.

““I’ve had Wenger, Louis van Gaal, [Sir Alex] Ferguson, so many coaches,” he said.

“Their main quality was to be clear. If I’m really honest, someone sent me a video of him [Emery] last week trying to explain something, and I couldn’t figure out if he was saying ‘come, come’ or ‘come!’.

“That is very important. You have to be clear, you have to be the leader and the leader needs to be clear towards his players.”

So exactly as I stated, you won’t find a top class coach who isn’t a leader.
