It's pretty clear now that Emery is not our man.

Substituting Pepe, our best player on the pitch at 1-0 down while Saka was nót having a good game, starting Xhaka, putting Torreira at 8/10 while he's a masterclass on the 6 position, not starting Tierney,...


Long hard road ahead.

Like most of the team

I kinda dropped out of FIFA world since 2017 completely

but Arsenal today resembles something like Everton from early 2010s,

Tierney
Papastathopoulos
Pépé (lol 80 millo? 1 goal in 9 games)
Dani Ceballos
Ainsley Maitland-Niles
Holding
David Luiz (oh look Arsenal brought in a clown)
Moussaka

Rolf I mean back in 2010/2015 team already resembled "shadow of Henry day Arsenal) with Song/Wilshere/Ramsey/Van Persie etc but at the very least every season one-2 of those would step up and have some really good even world class displays that would ignite the team and even make some deadwood crap players (lol Chamakh etc) not look so bad.. but seriously this team mad trash, what excuses owners now tell to gullible arsenal fans - since I am pretty sure stadium is long paid off by now? Or spending 80 m on Pepes new norm now? When someone paid 80m in 2015 dat nigga was expected to come in and tear that league a new hole.

Going to break down the people you mentioned just to clarify;

Tierney --> recently bought from Celtic and he looks really, really good. He's what we were lacking in LB since ages (remember we had Andre Santos at one period)
Sokratis --> had a solid season, he's a no nonsense defender who performs regulary. Happy with that transfer
Ceballos --> on loan from Real, he's basicly a replacement for Ramsey and has done well at that, hope we get him perm
Maitland-Niles --> Academy product and has been really good for two seasons now, he can play pretty much everywhere and has had the hard task of replacing for Bellerin at RB
Holding --> one of the last transfer from Wenger and this guy is good, I'm a massive fan of him and when he plays, we are way more secure
David Luiz --> felt like a good transfer but he's been hit and miss I agree
Not sure who you mean on the last name

As for Pepe, the guy has it, just needs to come out. We need to allow him to adapt to the premier league but everyone can see that he's going to be good, really good. He's been our most creative player and the goals and assist will come.

Overall the players aren't that bad at all, the team is going to be really different with Bellerin and Tierney as our fullbacks.


Main problem right now looks to be Emery. He makes the wrong tactical choices --> playing Torreira at 10 for example.

Long hard road ahead.

There's your problem, your team is garbage. It has maybe 3 or 4 good quality players.

Pepe missed an open goal from 5 feet out. He was a key contributor to dropping points. He made lots of careless head down runs into defenders.

Also this, 1-0 down, 35 minutes to go, chasing the game: https://streamable.com/q596f

The team can't even get past midfield, the players are rarely ever open.

The only thing you have going for you right now is Spurs, Chelsea and Man Utd are currently in some of their worst form in recent history.

That arsenal squad should be nailed on top 4. Auba laca pepe tierney Leno bellerin (when fit) also holding and chambers are pretty good CBs but Luiz and sokratis are starting instead

Emery has to go if he doesn’t make top 4

Very much so in my opinion.

The problem is that we don't know how the board will act, after having a manager for so many years it's hard to see if the board will be strict and fire when needed or not.

On the first part, I think it's still a case of Holding, Bellerin and Tierney being brought in slowly but yes they all should play.
I've been really impressed with Chambers aswell, wouldnt mind him being given a chance at CB.
