Mourinho team set wheels in motion, can Edu resist?

by .

I think it’s pretty clear that Unai Emery is finished as Arsenal manager.

The players don’t seem interested in his garbled vision, the fans aren’t attending games, and the press are now hoovering up leaks and turning them into missiles.

Emery hasn’t helped himself. He didn’t learn anything from last season. He genuinely believed all his ideas lacked were better players. Now he’s backed into a corner, he’s sending not so subtle messages to Raul and Edu that he’s unhappy with his lot.

  • Lucas Torreira as a 10
  • Xhaka as DM
  • Mesut Ozil as a deeplying playmaker
  • Kolasinac to chase important games over Nicola Pepe

Even worse for me is there’s no repentence in his press conferences. He told the world that he thought his tactical approach was correct yesterday. We shipped 25 shots, and had our total shots on target (4) doubled by a Wolves team that play on the counter. Nothing epitomises the miserable vision of Emery quite like being pleased with the output of such a coarse game.

Lots of fans think he has the Leicester game to keep his job. For me, it seems foolish to give the manager one game to change his fortunes, if we’re at this stage of the season and we’re at that level of consequence… just bite the bullet and let him go.

The top 4 is well within our grasp this season, OGS is an absolute disaster and there’s every chance Chelsea will falter. I’m also unconvinced Leiecester will be able to navigate injuries to key players. Arsenal can’t wait until January to make the move, the only problem is this: Who do they hire to replace Emery?

We are on track to replicate the disaster-cycle of United.

Arsenal hired a middling manager in Emery, when they should have taken a chance on Arteta and football of the future. That now means that Edu, a man who doesn’t seem to be too adept at navigating the media, has to make a strong decision on the next manager. If he’s brave, he’ll bring in someone young who can build a competitive club over 3 years. If he’s weak, he’ll go two feet in to the ‘WE NEED A WINNER’, this my friends, will be mistake number two… and we are not big enough or rich enough to survive mistake number 2.

I don’t mean to sound draconian, but unless Jose Mourinho has had an extreme change of mentality, he is going to be the ultimate arsonist. Emery won’t last past Christmas because he has the charm of a bag of giblets. Jose Mourinho will fail slower, but it’ll take public sentiment longer to shift against him.

He’ll come in, say the right things, he’ll likely reinstate Mesut Ozil and shape us up. He could very well be the right sort of caretaker to take us to top 4. My worry is what comes next. We’d not be buying into a brand of football that could surpass Pep G or Jurgen Klopp. We are literally skint if we don’t make the Champions League… even if we do make it, we don’t have the sort of funds that are going to satisfy one of the most glutnous managers the world has ever seen.

We’d be playing negative football, we’d have a manager bigger than the club, and we’d be trying to rekindle yesteryear… because Jose Mourinho is Arsene Wenger but in 2013.

I can’t believe we’d go down that path, but then again, I couldn’t believe the club published Xhaka’s awful apology in the matchday programme. Where was club leadership there? Who signed that off?

… likely the same person who’d say, ‘I know the history, but fuck it, Jose will get us top4.’

Bit here’s the thing. It won’t take much to get the fans on side. The papers are already working the PR angle for him.

‘Jose has a point to prove’

‘Mourinho wants to add a 3rd Champions League title’

‘Hungrier than ever, Jose refuse jobs in Europe’

On paper, he’s the best available. He’s on TV for a reason. He’s getting caught in the corporate box because he can smell the inexperience in the Arsenal leadership team.

It’s not beyond Raul either. His contacts brought Emery to Arsenal. He interviewed a sacked manager that couldn’t speak English, boasting a poor track record with big players, with zero ability to build a defence, and thought damn, this guy is a sauce monster, let’s hire him anyway. He met 10 managers better than Emery and landed on… Emery. If you make a decision that bad with 3 months to play with (longer, because he’s been in the game 15 years and knew he was coming in with the Wenger replacement remit), can you imagine the disaster of him doing something in the moment?

I really fear this one people, I really do. It’d be the smelliest Arsenal hire of all time. He’s a saucy guy, I’d love to believe he could reinigorate his ideas and his approach… but nothing, and I mean nothing, suggests he’s about to do that.

The only thing that might stop Raul in his tracks is the reality that Mourinho won’t just bring the team down if it goes wrong, he’ll bring down everyone. He’s the ultimate footballing arsonist, and maybe he’s what Josh needs to really start paying attention to fixing the club in a serious way… namely, getting a blue print and working towards a truly ambitous strategy that goes beyond: ‘Get Champions League football’

Building an elite football club is not going to happen if you think season to season. We have to think like Amazon did in the beginning. Have a longterm vision with a specific vision of how to achieve it… then attack it in 3 year blocks. Don’t tell me Emery fit into any sort of longterm visioon of football, he’s an Everton manager at best and can’t even speak the language. Time for a rethink. Time to see if Edu is made of something deeper than incredible good looks and crisp white shirts.

The next managerial appointment will tell you all you need to know about who we now are as a club, and where we’re going.

If it’s Jose, brace for impact… it’s a statement that tells you we are going nowhere in the next 5 years.

Sorry but you’re just another on here who wants to re write history because of a particular angle and a dislike of Sanllehi.

Sven didn’t leave because he was overruled he left because he wasn’t given the Tech Dir role anything that Sven’s come out with since is just sour grapes.

The day Emery signs cast-offs like broken back Kallstrom and Sanogo is the day he should retire.

Siddharth14

Gentle bris, an excellent post indeed. Yes, Mourinho does come with a baggage but it is not acceptable to call him an arsonist. The clubs which he left haven’t imploded and are very much in control and operating on a fine level. Manu are in a mess due to incompetent management just like us and not because of Mourinho. Knowing Raul and Edu, we can bet our house on them messing up the choice of next manager. In fact, going with a proven winner with EPL experience would be the safest way to go from the club’s point of view.… Read more »

Marc,

Sven gave an interview where he made clear that both not getting what had been promised to him and getting overruled on players are the reasons why he left.
According to the independent.
“Mislintat, who is now sporting director at Stuttgart, had disagreements in the way the club identified new players.”

So no sour grapes there then?

Look at the players we signed when Sven was head of Recruitment and look who we signed this summer now he’s gone. Sven is just bitter he was seen as not being up to the job.

Emery is not in control of signings so that won’t happen, and thats the thing Emery’s only job is to coach the first team nothing else get performances on the pitch and he’s failing, wenger had his fingers over everything at the club and that was ultimately his downfall, Emery has no excuses

Words on a Blog

Bamford, The main point about the new structure at Arsenal, is that, as head coach, Emery (and whoever succeeds him) is expendable. Managers should be able to come and leave relatively painlessly. If the head coach is underperforming, adios. Emery is currently clearly underperforming, both in terms of points total/league position achieved, and tactical coherence/attractiveness of the football played. If Emery goes, he’s hardly gonna leave a Wenger-sized hole. We’ll all forget about him in about 15 minutes. So if I were you, I’d forget about trying to justify his every tactical move. The new coach should have a good… Read more »

Is it possible for you to post a comment about anything (excluding politics or perfidious Muslims) without referring to Wenger?

Valentin

Marc,

By the way that experience approach is also the reason why we got Lichsteiner and that is why I was dead against that move.
My opinion was that if a player is viewed as too old and can’t handle the physical aspect of Serie A, has absolutely no chance of being able to handle the EPL.
I was lambasted when I said at the time I would rather we go after young and talented than experienced and mediocre. People being fed-up with Project Youth. I stand by I take a “could-be” over a “Never-been”.

Arsenal over-rated.

Leicester very much under-rated.

‘Don’t forget that Mourinho fundamentally altered Chelsea’s DNA and gave the club a standing in world football.’

And by so doing banishing Wenger’s invincibles into distant oblivion.

Great insight Sid.

Zlatan was once angry and bursted at Pep:

‘You fear Mourinho’.

A man Pep feared in the field of play when they were contesting shoulder to shoulder. A real giant feared by a genius.

You don’t want to be a joke of a club no more and you don’t want to hire a living legend just because you are afraid of his strong character. You have to pick one.

Emery should go after predictably getting schooled by fvckin Rodgers next weekend but getting Boringho would be disastrous and catastrophic in epic proportions,u mean it could ultimately sink us into permanent irrelevancy ,it would certainly cement our position as a mid-table club in the next decade

We absolutely need to get it right after Emery, I would go for Nagelsman or Vieira and and tell them to watch Lamps at chavs and give us some of that sauce

If Emery gets lumbered with players he doesn’t want then surely that will hinder on his sbility to coach the team.

At this point Arsenal need Leicester to blow up and collapse.

Who would have thought that a few months ago.

They have the best defensive record in the league along with Sheffield United and are second highest goalscorers.

This is not becoming now what Arsenal do in regards top four but what Leicester do or don’t do.

Other than the fact that he’s not Wenger, what is the basis of your defence and admiration for Emery?

At least Bamford has tried to mount a defence of Emery.

Your saying nothing other than “at least he’s not Wenger, lol lol.”

Who Raul has signed that has been a clear success? Saliba was on Sven list. How do I know? A year before Dortmund tried to recruit him, so I am assuming that when he moved to Arsenal, he just kept his list of prospects. We overpaid for Pepe and right now he far from a success. Any idiot can secure a deal if you are offering €8 millions more than the only other bidder and €12 millions more in agents fees. Martinelli is a clear Edu’s signing. Nothing to do with Raul so called network connection. Tierney may become a… Read more »

Valentin I agree but Lich was signed when Sven was Head of Recruitment, as was Auba (great player), Miki and Sok. The younger players signed under his purview was Mav, Torreira, Leno and Guendozi. Mav looks like a perma crock, Torreira can’t be judged as he can’t get into the team, Guendozi looks decent but certainly isn’t the finished article, Leno hard to judge until he’s playing behind a competent defence. So it looks like Sven was fine with being overruled by Gazidis but had an issue with Sanllehi. Sven’s time at Arsenal cannot be on any scale considered a… Read more »

I’m proposing that we hire a man who has won two CL while we have won none, who went to the Europa once and brought the trophy back while we have gone twice and came back with nothing, who had won three EPL titles since the last time we won it. Opposing that is what is weird, not proposing it.

Marc

Valentin

Why didn’t Sven sign Saliba for Stuttgart? Tierney looks a good signing – certainly an improvement on what we had. Pepe – fuck me guy’s been here a few months and you were so anti his signing you wouldn’t give him any credit anyway.

Why doesn’t Sanllehi get credit for green lighting a signing Edu suggested but gets criticism for overruling Sven?

Your argument is flawed because you are arguing from a dislike of Sanllehi not an objective position.

Ok, that’s fine.

So, what’s your definition of “competent” over there in the US?

Oh yeah the reason we overpaid for Pepe was because of the payment structure of the deal. It’s the same reason we walked away from Zaha – Palace wanted the money up front in a lump some.

RodneyKing

Mourinho will definitely not accept coming in for a short stint. He’d want at least 2 years to begin with. He’ll also want assurances that he’ll have one or two defenders with the required pedigree in January.

None of this will happen though because the club are not considering Mourinho and if what they’re saying is to be believed, parting ways with Emery won’t happen until season end.

Graham Competence is having the knowledge and skillset to do one’s job adequately. Emery has this. If he was incompetent, he wouldn’t have improved us 7 points last season, he wouldn’t have won the Europa title three times, he wouldn’t have been hired at PSG, and he wouldn’t have been the one manager in La Liga (it is said) that Pep Guardiola deigned to have a glass of wine with. He is getting certain things wrong, he is not tearing up trees. To say, however, that he is incompetent is to go too far, to be unreasonable, IMO. Why is… Read more »

Really mixed picture in terms of information. Some suggesting Arsenal are already working on replacing Emery, some saying he’s totally safe until the end of the season. A position like insisting he’s safe until the end of the season makes no sense at all, the chances of Arsenal getting 4th are slipping further and further away and Emery has proven he can’t change things.

It is clear as daylight our players have much more quality than Leicester’s.

Marc,

I am not arguing that everybody bought by Sven was a resounding success.
Also Sven was not overruled by Gazidis. In fact Gazidis is the one who went for Mhkitaryan when Wenger wanted Martial. Regarding Aubameyang Gazidis wanted to make a statement that Arsenal was still an attractive force after losing Sanchez and having to give a huge contract to Özil.

I doubt that Sanlleli overruling Edu before he has even joined us would really have been the way to entice him. He would have realised that It would have make him a DoF in name only.

Marc

Under normal circumstances I’d agree but we’re a shambles at the moment and if Emery hasn’t lost the dressing room he’s bloody close to doing so.

Sometimes you have to accept something hasn’t / isn’t working out and make a change.

Yeah you’ve got the Sven tinted / anti Sanllehi glasses on there.

So Sanllehi was willing to fork out £6 odd million when we had severely limited resources just to keep a prospective Edu happy?
