He's been getting away with it up till now, today he didn't, as long as he adjusts then there won't be a problem.

This will take several windows to get it right. Are we even going to spend?

He’s been better than Kos.
Kos has always been a liability.
He got a following amonsgt some WKB's but throughout his entire career at Arsenal he's made regular and stupid errors that have cost us games and even trophies.
He got injured and is coming back, so people get upset when they have to hear the truth that he's just not very good.
You are an absolute mongo
You’ve posted non stop drivel for years

Kos was awful today (understandably after amount of time out). I've often defended Ozil and even have him on the back of my shirt but his attitude when he came on today was shit and his play was also shit.

What was the atmosphere in the away end like? Much better than last season I take it?

Nah, the absolute drivel for years was from the Wenger fanboys. I, amongst others, recognised years ago he was taking the club nowhere. i.e. I was correct, but still had to put up with insults from WKB types. Shame they don;t have the guts to admit they were wrong. Instead they just carry on the delusion of thinking players like Kos are actually good. One delusion to the next it seems.
I don't mind, though. Just happy to at least see the club coming back, but will be much happier when every player Wenger signed has left. THEN we'll be really back on track.
Emery is doing a good job, but it will take 5 years to fix the mess he inherited. I have no expectations beyond 5th/6th and possible cups in the next 5 years, but at the same time am not going to pretend the dross players we've watched for the last 5-10 years are now somehow good.

The media and whole country predicted us to nosedive after Wenger left and we've proved them all wrong by going 22 unbeaten. So ignore their doom and gloom headlines cause they've been made to look like mugs.
Firstly, Unai is still getting to know his team and players. He hasn't settled on a formation yet because he doesn't know what his best formation is, and that's completely fine, because that takes time. I see some saying drop X and drop Y and Z too, but no manager comes in and rips the squad apart; he usually gives existing players a chance to prove themselves so that's why he's persisting with Iwobi, Xhaka etc. But be in no doubt that if they don't step up by the end of the season he'll be shaping the squad into his own. Imagine he dropped Iwobi now for Saka, that would ultimately end Iwobi's career at Arsenal- the kid is young and still has room to grow so he's rightly giving him a chance. He has it seems, however, made his mind up on Ozil; it appears he doesn't fancy him so it wouldn't surprise me if he's moved on soon.
Secondly, in terms of today, we had 3 of our most consistent defenders out. We had a makeshift defence against a rejuvenated Soton. Look on the bright side, if we keep winning maybe it would brush issues under the carpet and we all know the squad needs surgery. So it's a blessing in disguise because I can't see Unai persisting with someone like Ozil after that performance. He bought on Ozil ahead of Ramsey and he's probably realised that was a mistake, so he won't be making that again. Once again, he's learning.
Finally, the fact you're all so pissed off is a sign of improvement itself. For the past few years we would have accepted the loss under Wenger but now we're annoyed, pissed off and angry- does that not show the change in mentality and mindset at the club? I am loving what Unai is doing and we knew the first season or two was going to be a rollercoaster. When Klopp and Jose took over their clubs they were getting beat left, right and centre up and down the country, and were ridiculed every week on social media. We're not. We've just gone 22 unbeaten. And that's down to Unai.
