I have seen enough of Emery to know that he will not take this team to a top 3 position in the league. Scratch that, even top 4 seems like a big ask for this pretender.
- There seems to be no clarity or sense on direction of how we want to play. The only clarity so far, is that he wants to play from the back. This same tactic has led us to conceding very cheap goals and laughable but painful clownish errors
- How long does it take a coach to figure out his first 11? He came on and deceived everyone with making changes at 1st half to get some wins and draw and people got carried away after the first few games. By the end of the season, he was the coach that had made the most substitutions at/after 1st half. If you understand your team, play to your strength while also nullifying the opponents's game. With Emery, it is one or the other.
- He is a coach that does not inspire any sort of confidence in his team. Pacing about on the sidelines, chewing your jaw or whatever he does, or his occasional GIF-worthy moments do not show any such inspiration. Wrong team sheets game after game, wrong substitutions, wrong choice of captain, wrong tactics, etc etc
Sack him now and save us all the trouble.
Maybe Emery will go on to take us to top 4 or at best Euro cup if there no other top 6 team in europe remaining in the competition, but that is the best ceiling he can ever achieve with us. He needs to go now.
........ 1 - nil to The Arsenal
