With the announcement of unai emery, you would have expected things to change but watching arsenal vs man city.... its almost the same arsenal

I've said it time and again. Wenger was a big part of the problem because he failed to evolve. he thought he could keep up the policy of spending little and winning big. the best clubs spend big and win big. then again he failed to improve tactically. you want to win arsenal? just defend deep like small teams do and score one on the counter. you will see how frustrated the team becomes. Wenger for years had no solution to that but would blame teams for their negative football.

mourinho came with his style and won two league titles for Chelsea. guardiola has come with a better one and he's done one and I don't see any other team challenging except Liverpool maybe.

what arsenal needs is to improve tactically and change a lot of players to suit their tactics.

there are currently only two schools of football that win big. you either play like barca/mancity who keep the ball even right from their keeper or you play like madrid/bayern who play with high energy and tempo and have individual players with crazy abilities. Infact these teams have almost a bit of both types of play but have one dominating.

arsenal cannot be changed in one season. I was impressed that he tried to make cech play the way he did but obviously cech can't so one positive is for him to keep up the play but drop cech.

then we won the ball from city when we marked like them. high tempo and pressing deep inside their half but we were not as clinical as they were.

we need to play like the best to win like the best. all this soft football doesn't help anyone. barca, will never change their play to suit any team. whoever you are they play the same way. that is because they are superior in tactics and players. until we have these we will only be be mid table team or worse.

teams are evolving but we haven't that that why even Tottenham is better than us now.

look at how Liverpool best mancity last season 4-3. they pressed high, played with tempo and didn't respect them. if only they did so well consistently they'd have even topped manu.

style of play or tactics is basically what any team needs most. and you either choose the inferior ones or you build up to more superior ones. takes years to get the players but it's better than been a great team like arsenal and fading out due to a head strong coach with hardline football.

I know emery will be better at least he showed flashes of improvement. bringing in lacazette so early and pairing him with auba unlike Wenger who will wait till 77 then remove striker for striker. And that gwendouni was my best player today.

wenger was not just a part of the problem, he was there qproblem.
if the shareholders were not giving him money to invest, he was expected to speak up and resign in protest but he waited till he was sacked.

arsenal lost today but I saw the fighting spirit in them rather the timidity that characterised wengers era.

The Arsenal I saw today would stand any team...

Great improvement...

They just missed brilliant chances to go ahead...

Let's wait for Chelsea... Improvement is coming...

we need to be realistic as fans and not be sentimental. this arsenal team is not yet clinical in their finishing, still doesn't have the required work rate to compete with top teams and Cech is still a big problem.

but I agree with you on the fact that improvement is coming

my bad...I was referring to the 4-3 win over man city...thanks

E show today o

Its too early to condemn them after their first game. Lets see how they do against smaller boys like Wolves, Brighton. But the truth is the title race is between City, Liverpool and Spurs.
