On the contrary, pretty damn good. Managed to fit in a 10k run during my lunch break too. Just being honest, I say it how I see it :)

Not stats but facts
Not aware that any farming stock ever played forbenfica or Liverpool in Europa league finals
Mavrapanoshas been injured
Came on at champions at city
Nkethiah came on v spurs in the league cup
Torreira , bellerin , guendouzi,iwobi holding and maitland- niles have all featured against
Man city Liverpool Spurs Chelsea man Utd
The other 6 with an average age of 19 have played minutes here and there just as young Arsenal players have done in all the time I have been going
Way below he average age of the club that have had the youngest team this season
Everton 24.5

DiamondGooner wrote:Good post Jedi, was going to say something similar about the "Comparing him to Wenger's worst" as well.

Fact is all of you guys criticising are missing a couple of major points.

1) Emery has to think of results over style of play ........ because he's not Wenger and doesn't have the 9 lives and grace that Wenger had, all he has to live on is his results.

2) Its all fair a well saying "Emery needs to stick with a style of football" but have you considered the reason why he's changing it so much is maybe because he doesn't have the right players to execute it properly?

I think he's made it clear what he wants from day one, he said straight away he prefers 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, he said he likes a high press, he's recently made it abundantly obvious he feels he needs Wingers for this.

But what are AFC giving him? he wanted Ramsey as a central figure and the old regime let him walk on a free, he wanted wingers and all he got was a loan attacking mid who's always been a bench option, he wants 1st choice players but his squad has been decimated by injuries, no transfer funds, nothing, bar 4 players we got for a total of £50m he's stuck with Wenger's squad and no money to replace them.

If anything he's overachieved, he's matching if not bettering the results of a manger who had total power here and was here for 22 years where this squad was his through and through.
people say he's not getting the best out of them yet we're in the same position as the man who actually wanted these players so he's not doing worse is he ......... with someone else's squad.

The whole point is he is supposed to have a seasons grace at least, one season of backing.

Now I don't expect that from the Wenger Inns for obvious reasons but the others I think its actually worse, if Emery is doing things you don't like then let him fall on his sword, he doesn't have Wenger's protection so he won't be here for 20 years so stop panicking.

........... in fact there's only 4 months left in this season and he could get fired in summer, I'd invite you to hold your sh*t together for the next 4 months before having meltdowns.

What a mature and objective post.
Kudos to you mate.

As a fan who wants to win trophys I don't share your definition of meaningless games
Willock has played 180 mins in the Europa league before we were qualified and in the fa cup where you only qualify for the next round if you win
Same applies to smith Rowe 174 mins
Nketiah 179 mins including 23 mins in the league cup v Spurs we were 2 down at Chelsea at the start of the season and scored twice in 4 mins it can be done
Those 4 mins go into 11
The amount of mins that Mavrapanos came on for at city after injury
I think you and some of the negative nellys believe a game is lost at 2 down
I don't believe you are ever beat till that final whistle goes
I hope emery shares the sentiment
The winning from losing positions in 3 games
The winning from drawing positions in 3 games
The drawing from losing positions in 2 games
Encourages me that he might
Medley 37 mins
Saka 26 mins
Gilmour 14 mins
By the way
I couldn't give a f**k if they are fresh off the teet or close to the zimmer
It they can do the job is he only important criteria

It's below par for 350k, he is a million miles away from hazard as a player, he has to go so we can use his wages for other players.


When comparing him to other Prem stars, of course. I agree with you. But if we just confine the argument to Arsenal, who in the squad is performing at the required level? Very few.

The attitude and flaws that are supposedly keeping Ozil out the team are on display almost each week from individuals that still get picked to play by Emery. That's what I find unfair and hypocritical from the manager. How many brain farts and mistakes have Mustafi and Xhaka made already this season? Some questionable performances from plenty but they continue to play and exhibit the same mistakes.


and there's the rub. iwobi, xhaka, mustafi with gaffs or just no end product but continually get minutes.

The Guardian
Arsenal are outsiders in chase for Champions League, says Unai Emery

• Emery: ‘There are teams that are better than us’
• Mattéo Guendouzi praised for missing France duty


Unai Emery believes a top-three Premier League finish is beyond Arsenal and has said his club are outsiders in the fight for fourth place with Chelsea and Manchester United.

Emery was charged with returning Arsenal to the Champions League when appointed last May and reacquainting them with the financial clout of Europe’s elite competition. According to the most recent accounts, the club’s revenues fell by £29.9m last season because of their participation in the Europa League.

But after a damaging sequence of away results, in which Emery’s team have taken two points from an available 18, they are three points behind Chelsea in fourth and one short of United in fifth. The gap to third-placed Tottenham is 10 points. Arsenal will qualify for the Champions League if they win the Europa League; they face Bate Borisov in the last 32, with the first leg on Thursday in Belarus.

“It is so far,” Emery said, when asked whether the Premier League’s top three were out of reach. “We are going to play at Tottenham in one month [on 2 March] but now we need to think about the next games and the next teams ahead of us, who are Chelsea and Manchester United.

“Are we outsiders for fourth place? Now, yes. Because we are sixth. It’s practical but it is like that. I trust in our capacity to take [fourth] but it is like that. There are teams now that are better than us and who have an advantage to us.

“Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham also – there is a big difference between us and them. Chelsea and Manchester United, two very big teams, also have a difference [to the top three] but they are closer than us. We need to continue thinking to be in the top four but knowing it’s difficult. It’s not to think we’re playing under pressure – it’s to be demanding and with the ambition to be in the top four [while] also knowing other teams have an advantage to us.”

Emery, who takes his team to Huddersfield on Saturday, discussed the emergence of the summer signing Mattéo Guendouzi and suggested that the midfielder’s decision to miss the European Under-19 Championship with France last July was pivotal.

“The first impression from him is very good and we saw this from the first weeks of pre-season when he arrived here,” Emery said. “He made the very big decision not to play with the national team in the summer because he wanted to work with us and show his capacity in pre-season. His adaptation was very quick and his progress is very good.”
