Most of our starting eleven don't make the bench at United and Chelsea. Don't think there's anything else to be said.

Overachieving then drawing at old Trafford
Beating Chelsea & being in front of them then

Considering he said he prefer's 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 and made that clear.

I'm wondering if he's playing 3-4-3 because you only then use 2 CM's .......... which would make sense if you've opted to drop your two top class CM's in Ozil and Ramsey leaving you short of quality CM's for 3 in the middle.

My answer would be to fkin play them, use Ramsey, he's going anyway, why do we care if we burn him out? he ain't gonna be ours next season anyway.

All 3-4-3 does is forces us to play our sh*ttest players like AMN, Xhaka, Mustafi etc, that's all it does.

Regardless he better start winning games again and pronto, once this seasons over if he doesn't turn things around it'll be Emery out from the fans ......... we brought him here to win or at least be competent, he has no grace once the seasons completed and the results are all he has to stand on.

As it should be
Stands and falls by results
The club let us down not holding Wenger to them in the last 7 years of his tenure

Calling for a new manager if your that unhappy, sure, but swapping a bag of sh*t for another bag of sh*t then celebrating like you won the jack pot is just insanity.

Do you hate this club that much that the best you can come up with is to put us back to 6th with no away wins in a year and half the league singing "We want you to stay" and when I mean half the league I mean the bottom half!

I've heard Spurs fans wish us better.

No, if Emery is going at the end of the season then we obviously need better, some of you will be calling for Wenger to manage us even after he's passed away ffs, you need help.

Wenger with Aubu, Gendo and Torreira would be different level. We’d be competing at the top for sure.

It's a such wenger had a transfer embargo on him in his last 10 years

Obviously never seen us last few years.

We obviously never had shit results in Europe under Wenger

Oh wait, Swedish part timers say hi and that was just last season and at home. And i guess everyone 10-2 to forget the humiliation of the CL for years.

But but daddy Wenger

f**k off you c***.

This !!

How anyone can want Wenger back is a f***ing mystery, he was this level of shit for at least 3 years running.

But Emery better fix up, he got the job because he was supposed to be an improvement over Wenger but at this moment he is actually worse!!!

We lost 4 in 7 as recently as the 9 th may 2018 drawing one of the others
This time last year he was about to lose 4 in 4

Aside from Stan and Josh Kroenke, the most powerful men at Arsenal were all packed into that room at the Borisov Arena and even though there was a pane of glass separating them from the press box, the sense of disbelief was palpable.

Fahmy shook his head over and over again, Vekatesham slumped in his chair while an ashen-faced Sanllehi soon headed for the exit. This was not the result anyone had been expecting.

I am still pro-Emery (for the time being), but by the looks of things, the hierarchy haven't been impressed with him at all of late.

I still think he should be judged in his second season (assuming he is backed financially), however, if he doesn't quickly turn things around, he may not even get a second season...

He has to find a way of turning this shit around.

Because he won't be afforded the same patience that Wenger had.

Results, results, results.

Nah, you say that, but I remember the days at Highbury after "one nil to the Arsenal" became dreary and dull, when we were in the wilderness, shit boring football, bludgeoning teams to one nil victories. It felt to me like the bung scandal was a God send for most of us, because we were not going anywhere as a club and it would take a brave man to sack Graham otherwise, after the success he brought to us.

We definitely gave a shit what the football looked like then.

Our last 1-0 win at Highbury under graham was v Chelsea in 93/94
We beat Parma to win the cup winners cup after that
1-0
I was delighted

When we went on 22 game unbeaten run, people weren't saying anything about an unbalanced team. He's shifted to playing 3 at the back, benched Ozil and has lost the team spirit and drive that had us winning games because of the silly decisions.

Bate drew with juventus h&a 08/09
Drew with psg h&a 10/11
Drew with Milan 11/12
Beat Bayern 3-1 12/13


Mate, is that all you do? Post results from almost 10 years ago with no context? Keep it to yourself. No need to share it with me.

The context is bate getting good results against good sides
Yes all I do
Support the Arsenal
Wish I could learn original phrases like get a room
Comedy genius status that

You're looking at results from 2009-2013! Find some results from this season or last year where they have the same group of players and managers!

You can't so you're having to look 10 years back! Knock it off.

I don't get why he's gone to three at the back. We were shit earlier in season using that formation. We need players who can actually play well enough and not be liabilities.

Any sane person would say that Arsenal would be expected to beat Wolves, Newcastle, Crystal Palace, etc, with the value of our squad and the money we have available to us, I am sure we can all agree. Football is not won on paper but there is a reason why bookies have "favourites" to win. Expectation.

So given this expectation its also fair to say that, if we have better players than those teams why do they defend better than us? All of the arguments stating our players need to be better to perform better is therefore absolute nonsense. Simply put, if worse players can defend better than us it is clear and obvious that our current players CAN DO BETTER!

Wolves drew with man city and at man utd
Beat chelsea won at spurs and knocked liverpol out the fa cup
We drew with them

Newcastle beat man city
We won there

Palace drew at man Utd
Won at man city
Knocked Spurs out the fa cup
We drew there

Doesn't change the fact that we are expected to beat them because we have better players and so therefore should be able to defend better than them.
