Unai Emery
Re: Unai Emery
Good post Augie but there are a few things i disagree with. Firstly, i didn't expect us to finish 4th but i would argue that finishing 5th/6th is standing still, as it shows little improvement from last season. Also, the idea that he has drastically inproved things is based on our home form, but we were excellent at home under Wenger. Even in recent years, we stuffed both Chelsea and United and beat Liverpool, while getting a draw against a City side usually running away with the title. Away from home is the big test, and that has been an unmitigated disaster, again this season we have been tactically inept and have shit ourselves at the slightest sign of trouble. Again, with an entire summer to change things, he may turn it round but I'm not giving credit for winning the games we expect to win, when any slightly difficult game, we shit the bed.

Re: Unai Emery
I would say we have been better in the bigger games away aside from Liverpool, I don't think we got blown away in the same was as we did under wenger, we also sorted out the away mess of of the Europa tie when we were 3-1 down something Wenger would probably not have done.
I think our defence is shit and needs to be fixed in general which requires getting one or two more first choice defenders in then our away form may improve, we are still shit in defence at home we just score alot more and attack better, being stronger at the back should bring us more 0-1 and 0-2 wins away.

Re: Unai Emery
Emery has done well. Were still with Chelsea & United in needing to sort ourselves out. Liverpool and City are in the advanced stages of Pep and Klopps plans and are easily two best teams in the league. Chelsea will again sack a manager and I wonder if Ole is the real deal at Man United. Emery should be given at least next season before expectation of mounting a serious league challenge the year after next. But in the mean time we can be competitive and threaten in the cups. We have a more than good chance of winning the Europea league this year - I believe we are the best team left in the competition along with Chelsea.
Keeping hold of key players and replacing the slackers is key. I think we need a top wide player, another centre half and a back up to Cech. Sort out Ozil as well, either fix him or fuck him off. Ramsey leaving is bad. The irony is we actually need some attacking midfielders to play down the middle and on the flanks.

I'm sad he didn't stab Deeney with a Zombie knife. No cojones ! Get him out of the club !
Deeney has announced that his eagerly awaited cage fight for the Eric Cantona trophy against Joey Barton will take place at Madison Square Garden in July.

Re: Unai Emery
Gary Neville made the point the other night that Emery has done well given our players relative to Chelsea and United. Pretty fair assessment. We dont have a 'star'player since Sanchez left and Ozil's decline. We dont have a jewel in the crown that Barcelona or Real Madrid would want. Chelsea have Hazard, United have Pogba and De Gea. We have had these players before under Wenger post 2005 - Henry, Fabregas, Van Persie, Sanchez and faired no better
Although in saying that, its harsh on Aubameyang who could easily finish the season as top scorer. But even still, Neville has a point that Emery has gotten mileage out of this squad where Mourinho failed at United and Sarri at Chelsea.

Re: Unai Emery
I said this in another thread, but he needs to be backed to ship out some players and bring in his players. There are too many high earners who have limited sort of roles in the team. We play in a physical league, but we don't have physical players - we need them. We need speed and strength. However, I am not saying overly physical, but rather ones who can take the whacks, dust themselves off and go again. We don't have them at the moment.
Ultimately, it is a miracle that Emery is where he is with the tools at his disposal. He is certainly deserving of another season as he has exceeded my expectations.

if we finish top 4 and win the Europea League, thats a tenfold to what I expected at the start of the season.
Emery is a great manager who flys under the radar

That WAS my feeling too, but tbh a lot of the comments on here tell me that he wont be afforded the time to fix things properly, and will be expected to "patch up" and remain competitive now rather than plan for the longer term

Re: Unai Emery
Apart from the shit shows at Everton and Watford (still won) I've been impressed with his recent work.
Is there any one apart from Sid who still wants him to fuck off at the end of the season?

Unai has won more games in his first 50 in charge than Arsene Wenger, George Graham and Herbert Chapman.
In Unai I trust. He has made some mistakes but overall, very happy with his appointment.

yeah i saw that Graphic on the BBC website - 32 wins for Dick, 27 for GG and 23 for the ex-manager.nut flush gooner wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2019 6:45 amUnai has won more games in his first 50 in charge than Arsene Wenger, George Graham and Herbert Chapman.

just think about that for a minute - the ex-managers team had Seaman, Dixon, Winterburn, Keown, Adams, Bould, Parlour, Wrighty and Bergkamp. not to mention Platt and Anelka.
yet Dick with this motley lot - probably only Laca is truly world class - he has won NINE more games.
that tells you that winning 68% of our games comes from hard work, preparation, discipline and organization.
I'm also very happy that finally the defence is clicking as a unit - since the Rennes debacle, we have conceded one goal in seven games.

Last night was the first time since he arrived that I agreed 100% with his starting team and formation before the game - it was a pragmatic horses for courses selection that he has attempted a few times previously (with varying success), but last night was the first time he showed a realization that mustafi and lard arse are liabilities on the big occasion and have no business being there
