Unai Emery

[Jase89]

I'm very happy with how everything is setting up. I said the first sign of whether Emery had his finger on the pulse would be if he bought a new first choice keeper

He's done it already and more besides, with more still to come.

A very good start.

Agreed ^^^^

sweet, i misssed the leno signing. (smites forehead)

Think it will be 4-1-4-1. That will give Xhaka the space and time to execute his long passes and dictate the game from deep.

Leno
Bellerin - Mustafi* - Sokratis - Monreal
Xhaka
Ozil - Torreira - Ramsey - Mkhi**
Auba

*If he stays
**Still think we need to play with one traditional winger on the flanks

I'm not sure we need a DLP if we have Ozil, but then if we had a dominant DM that could really unleash Xhaka and Ozil.

Given Emery's past, I don't think there will be a set in stone formation.

Ozil plays much deeper these days than he used to earlier. Maybe he could be our DLP.

He'd get over run, blamed for not defending and Ozil's own preference is clearly to orchestrate the offence, through balls etc, Ozil deep isn't going to work imo and it'd be a waste of talent, do we really want to turn Ozil into a long ball specialist?

Came 6th and won fk all ............ and it was still the best season we've had in years.

[DiamondGooner]

Look what the fans think, can't remember the last time Arsenal fans and myself were this relieved and this pumped for the start of the season.

I'm not expecting top 4 or anything really, what I want to see installed is a competitive edge, a competency from the coaching staff and a cohesive, dangerous team, once (hopefully) we get that in place ............ the rest will come.

One thing I do like is he seems quite no nonsense, I suppose being the boss at PSG is to be expected, a lot of pressure in a job with that expectancy so he's obviously of the mind set to focus on delivering, makes a welcome change.

I'm the happiest and most excited I've been about the club in 10 years

Whether we succeed or not, we're trying to do better and be better
