You just reminded me how Don used to pronounce 'Sampdoria' whenever he appeared on the Italian fitba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Pochettino would never go to Arsenal. He openly turned Barcelona down once due to him being at Espanyol. He's like the opposite to Pressley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridge of Djoum Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I think The Arse would benefit from an English manager, or someone who has experience of the league at least. Ancelotti Howe Pochettino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shows how problematic this manager appointment business is. Back in the day, someone at Aberdeen must have said let's give this Ferguson bloke a go. St.Mirren fans must still wonder how on earth their club came to the decision to sack Alex Ferguson. Something to do with them accusing him of paying out bonuses that hadn't been authorised, or something similar. Aberdeen taking him on wasn't a surprise.

As everyone knows he's the most accomplished club manager the world has ever known. Aberdeen might have had two candidates they liked, not saying they did, and picked the other one.

Deodato Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I was one of the few in The Emirates last night, surreal to see half the stadium empty. I was also two rows behind Emery. What didn't get reported was that Mesut Özil, who was brought on as a substitute, threw his shirt into the crowd at full time. Surprised that got missed given the furore over Xhaca actions a month earlier. Emery;'s tactics are just weird. Going 1-2 down, and putting on a midfielder, Torreira, to chase the game when you have £100m+ of striker talent sitting on your bench is baffling. In the last five minutes, he gave up shouting orders and wandered about his area with hands in pockets. Clearly the manager has lost dressing room, but you have to step back and question the causality - did the dressing room lose the manager. I think the players deserve more blame than they are receiving. It's easy to aim fire at the manager, but the players can't be fired and if Norwich do a number on them, the blame game continues. Remember Emery walks away with £7m and may well have his next gig already lined up (this is was the Spurs manager has done). The club should be wary of boasting he was fired. Also, on a separate thread I raised doubts about Kieran Tierney,. Last night he managed just one forward pass. To quote another poster, he is no Andy Robertson..Indeed he looks very unsettled in that team - which is why I believe Emery is not solely to blame for the mess. With Emery gone, Tierney may be exposed. David Luiz also looks like he's unsettled as well, an incredible talent that is making far too many unforced errors. Good players in a bad team. They look lost. Last point, take a look at the EPL and check out competitive it is this year. If Arsenal lost to Norwich and (hypothetical) all the teams beneath them won, then Arsenal could theoretically drop from eighth down to fourteenth. We're going into December and it's that tightly bunched up. Aston Villa are 15th and they're really finding form too. It is sooo competitive. Arsenal Fan TV (AFTV) comes correct with commentary. Isn't it insane that this channel now has over one million subscribers, pretty soon it'll overtake Kickback as the most powerful fan voice in football. The presenters are now celebrities inside the stadium. Hearts and Arsenal are very different in size but one could argue similar in their current mess. A new manager is going to need time, a lot of time, to unravel what they inherit. Deodato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new manager is going to need time, a lot of time, to unravel what they inherit. Deodato Good post and interesting to get insight from someone who goes to games down south. That's incredible the number of AFTV subscribers. Regards the part in bold however, I can't agree, their mediocre players in a mediocre team. The look lost because they aren't good enough for that level imo. Tierney is a decent enough left back but not for a team looking to compete at the upper end of the EPL. And David Luiz, well looks like David Luiz. He's a total bombscare of a footballer. Very talented as you say but his game has been littered with mistakes everywhere he's played and pairing him up with Sokratis was always going to be a total disaster. I like guy but it's no surprise Chelsea where happy to let him go on the cheap despite having transfer ban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
