Emery replying today when asked why he does not play Tierney, Bellerin or holding.....
‘I don’t want to achieve the best defensive solution with one group of players… It’s for all the players.’
What in the actual fuck does that even mean fucking arsepiece comment from a grade A arsepiece pick your best defenders midfielders and attackers..simples
It's the special thought process of the kind of guy that wants to have 5 captains.
I thought our fixtures in December might trip Dick up but it looks like he is capable of doing that all by himself.

Holy lamb of fuck.
That piece of fucking nonsense could have dribbled out of Wenger's mouth......
In a "I told you so" that sid could be proud of - I hope whichever of you cùnts that slated me on here when I pointed out Dick's hero worshipping of Wenger before he joined are fucking happy now. You know who you are.
There is nothing I like about Emery. His face is as smug as wengers and I want to hit it every time I see him standing on the touch line pulling those faces.
He has so many similarities to Wenger (in his bad decade) it’s uncanny. I hope to god he is sacked before or worst case, at the end of the season. This club is going nowhere with this complete bumbling fucktard at the helm.
He told Paddy Power : "Can you imagine Patrick Vieira on the pitch on Monday night? He would have been shouting at his team-mates, asking them: 'What the f*** are you doing?'
" Can anyone tell me what is Xhaka's best quality? I don't know why he has been made captain. The leadership is absent."
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 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. I think last year I started to improve being competitive, also with some very good matches playing with creativity. We are being competitive. There are a lot of supporters with different opinions. Some want more creativity, some want maybe more intensity, more energy.

I want both. My way is both.

Here's the thing, i dont care if we win a rock solid 1-0 or spank someone 5-0 i just want to win and not finish each and every match feeling like we just pulled it out the bag or were lucky.
Not every match has to be beautiful and not everything beautiful on a pitch is about flowing football from back to front
Another little bit to add to all this...It was Gazidis who recommended Dick to the Kroenke's...so Not only did he fuckk us over whilst wenger was in charge...but he did so once he had left...what an absolute CUNTBAG.
I am beginning to think that a Double Act of Freddie (we love you coz you've got no hair) Ljungberg (he got booked by dean the cunthole for having a pair and saying something, rather than stand there with his hands in his pockets grimacing)...and Mikail Arteta the latter is BOUND to have learned something from Pep these last 3 years...
I was among those saying Ohhhh! No we don't want Arteta.. maybe I and all who said likewise were a bit uhhmmm … As Treebeard would say "Hasty".
Emery has already proven beyond a shadow of a doubt he is NOT the man to take us forward ...but only backwards or at best sideways and back..
How many mangers do you know who wouldn't automatically play their best eleven given the chance to do so and what were the odds that after a miserable decade of wenkergeddon we somehow end up with the fu.cker
Talk of the devil SSN have put up his press conference.
Apparently we are a little less creative under him but we are more competitive since he arrived and the creativeness will improve. His own words which were translated by the nice people at SSN cos I didn't understand a fu.cking word he said....again

Fuuuuuuuuuuuccccccckkkkk ! Rodders I think you may be on sumfink!
I appreciate that everyone wants to see instant success but the facts are Emery is already doing slightly better than Wenger was doing at the end of his time as manager.
win %
Wenger 1996-2018 57%
Wenger 2017/18 53%
Emery 2018/19 60%
Emery 2019/20 62%
Everyone might well be right and Emery is not the answer.
However he is integrating new players this season as well as some youngsters and there will be blips, like in Sheffield.
Positives though - Pepe finally seems to be up and running, Lacazatte is now back and hopefully Bellerin, Holding and Tierney can force their way into the defence. I do agree though that Xhaka has to improve a bit.

Here's my problem with that line of thought -
Wenker had a shit squad to work with for his past few seasons cos he insisted on buying shite (thinking he was a miracle worker that could shit to gold ) and any decent player we had fcuked off cos they knew he was a busted shite Emery has a much better squad to work with and should be doing better than le cock.
Integrating new players isnt where emery is going wrong - he is going wrong simply cos he is NOT integrating them fast enough as is sticking with sub-standard shit like xhaka. Emery tactics (especially in scouseland) have been scandalous and after one full season that is inexcusable in my opinion.
Lastly, pepe is up and running ?? Based on scoring 2 free kicks ?? When he is doing better in open play, THEN come back to me
