The players aren’t all bad at all ffs.
Last years team was utter tripe, with the worst manager in the PL.
Emery has added some good players and we look better - but it will take time. As long as it takes to remove every player Wenger ever signed or coached.
how do we look better? We are on course to concede more, we create less, shoot less and hit the target less. We could very well score less despite having a freakish period where laca and auba were converting 70% of their chances. And we dont look to improve our position
We have more points.
Until all Wenger's players are gone - they are all sh*t - things won't improve dramatically.
And if we let him buy 20+ players and we are still. Do we sack him and tell the next manager we will let you buy your whole squad before we judge you? Yeah it doesnt work like that
Perhaps you should let him have a couple of seasons - given he's doing better than Wenger did at the same stage despite having to deal with the utter mess Wenger made of the club.
if we get knocked out of the europa league in the next 2 rounds would you say he did better? with a better squad at his disposal?
we're not finishing top four either that dream died about a month ago
wenger was a 50 year old boxer who should have been forced to retire years ago. There is no way wengers last season should be a standard next manager is judged by. Being manager involves more than buying players. We have no set of play after 8 months....I watch us and cant point to what we are trying to do and that is the scariest part. Even Burnley has a way of playing
The tactics in the 2nd half today were spot on.
We played on the break at 2-0 up. Smart.
We'd have won by 5 clear goals if not for the utter dross signed or coached by Wenger.
