I'm seeing fans and media saying he did okay at Arsenal, he should have been given more time and he would be a good appointment for Newcastle. We were conceding 20 shots on goal every game under him. Emery was flippin' useless here.
He's a good manager in Spain where he has no language barrier and can get his ideas across clearly but he's no good for the PL. I suppose Newcastle fans are happy because it's someone other than Bruce and Emery has European experience so they are excited about it. But I scroll down twitter and the same opposition fans that were constantly mocking Wenger are now saying stuff like 'if only you had Wenger back' and 'you took Wenger for granted'. Weird.
Name these games where we conceded 20 shots.
I recall one vs. Watford that ended 2-2. That's preferable to hapless performances like 0-2 vs Brentford, where we struggled to string 2 passes together.
Emery's lowest point at this club is still Arteta's highest ever league finish.

Again, name these games where we conceded 20+ shots.
LOL at your references:
From The S*n:According to stats from @KeenosAFC on Twitter,
Straight to the trash can.
BBC football has detailed match results for any PL game, including shots + shots on target. Give me the name of the match and I'll find them myself.
dec 2019 vs man city = 20 shots
dec 2019 vs brighton = 20 shots
nov 2019 vs southampton = 21 shots
nov 2019 vs wolves = 24 shots
nov 2019 vs leicester = 19 shots
There are loads more from the first season as well.
Aug 2018 vs Chelsea 24 shots
Oct 2018 vs Fulham 21 shots
Jan 2019 vs Cardiff 19 shots
Feb 2019 vs City 19 shots
Mar 2019 vs Rennais 19 shots
April 2019 vs Everton 23 shots
April 2019 vs Napoli 20 shots
April 2019 vs Leicester City 24 shots
Agree with you here. Emery wasn't good for us but because the standardshave dipped so much, his results don't look as bad when compared to Arteta's.
