If that were true the end result wouldn’t’ve been hiring Unai Emery, lol.
Yeah, I’ve laid out enough why he’s a poor appointment, no need to do it again. This, and probably other Arsenal forums but I wouldn’t know, is literally the only place on earth where you’ll find a majority that actual thinks Emery is good. It’s a deluded reality, aside from a few oasis that still haven’t been driven away like @SDGooner@A.F. and @Aussiegooner@TheSpecialCnut (as much as it hurts me to include a barbarian in the list). But whatever, people will see that soon enough, unless they are happy enough with 5th or most likely 6th and potentially winning a mickey mouse competition that even Wenger probably would’ve won in a normal year without a club the quality of Atléti dropping in.
(tbf, for comprehensiveness’ sake, pretty sure @Persona realises this and just doesn’t care because he supports BvB more, and perhaps @will24 too but as I don’t remember them pronouncing themselves on the issue I don’t include them)
Not so sure about that, him and his colleagues are excellent at coaching and made Areola a great goalkeeper had their teams well drilled good use of tactics etc, to say its just recruitment is a bit far fetched.
I was happy when Wenger was let go. I wanted Allegri or ze German who must not be named. Emery wasn’t someone I wanted or expected. Now he’s here and had his underwhelming £50m summer, I’m not expecting many trees to be taking from their place.
Once again, focus on the actual process of finding the manager rather than the man himself.
Even people who don’t really fancy Emery can see the basis behind his appointment and that he’s not an ridiculous option at all considering the manager market
My recollection is that your criticisms were all points that could be made against some of the greatest managers. Ie didn’t win the league 1 season and didn’t win the CL. You can make the same criticism against every manager.
That’s pretty harsh. Just from Emery’s style of play we’ll improve.
High pressing teams like Spurs and Liverpool in recent years have clearly faired better than us. The entire squad will be drilled tactically and we’ll be a much more energetic and tenacious side. The high tempo and direct style he’s going to bring has been missing from us for years.
“High pressing” qualifies as propaganda? Have you ever watched football? Those aren’t just words, they actually refer to something happening on the pitch lmao
You’re missing the point. Of course high pressing refers to something on the pitch, wtf are you on about? It’s propaganda as far as putting all those things together, it’s clear you really haven’t an idea who Unai Emery really is, or haven’t watched his teams over the years.
I’m not, when dealing people who are saying reasonably sensible things. I actually was arrogant when I first signed up to this forum, because I had never really participated in internet discussion in my life and only really had a player’s point of view, which is a very limited one (as Michael Owen can attest ). I’ve learned a lot from people on this forum over the years, and as such, if you paid attention, I took a deferent attitude toward those people in past years-- unfortunately not many of them are around or use the forum that often, and the first sentence in this message doesn’t apply too often.
