Attack is even asking too much. The way guys dribble past him is wow! Like he is a mirage on the screen.
his only saving grace is that he is British so the fans over there will not come for his head, believe you me, if that guy was playing for one African countries by now, the fans would have ran riot on his head


...same way they are shileding Nelson and willock from yesterday disaster, I even read some of their player ratings and they gave nelson and willock a 6 ...... can you imagine shocked

Knowing how weak the midfield had become, all he needed to do was to stuff it with one more player. That's taking off Ozil for Torriera. Then once things stabilise, take of Guendouzi for Nelson to add bite and direction to counter attack. Taking off Ceballos for Willock was suicidal. There was no purpose tactically to that change.

On Thursday, I hope to see Martinelli, SmithRowe, Chambers and full games for Nelson and Willock hoping that more games for the latter duo could make them catch some sense.

..... Baba, Nelson is all hype jare. He is not ready for anything, even Saka would have fared better. I prefer Gabriel on that wing until we find a better option. Chelsea's academy products are far better than ours and need no hyping. We just hype our own to match theirs.

.... We are playing Frankfurt away so I don't think we will see much changes except in defense. One of Luiz or Papa should sit this out and Emery should use the opportunity to put out a Midfield that will work well in order to build familiarity. Constant Changing won't help him. Use a midfield on Thursday that he will use on Sunday. Emery was uncharacteristically not himself yesterday so I will just put yesterday as an off day at the office.

But Nelson is the only other winger we've got apart from Gabriel. I do not rate him, but I have hopes for him. Prayerfully sha.

Emery needs to try Chambers in that Xhaka role. Miracles can happen and we may forget Xhaka.

As for Emery himself, I would give him till end of season, as a benefit of doubt.

Does Emery realize he is not only fighting to keep his job at Arsenal but his future and marketability as a head coach in any of Europe's top teams? The projections for his future if his contract at Arsenal is not renewed is bleak, especially if we argue from narratives created after his success at Sevilla. At this point, it is fair to argue that his teams' post Sevilla choke, can not defend and he lacks the managerial skills to manage players with big personalities. These issues were his undoing at PSG and they are rearing their ugly heads with us.

I would like to give the #EmeryOut gang, spearheaded by iPopAlomo, Kokaneprodigy and now Sod09 a lot of credit because they were vehemently against Emery's signing because of some of the issues I highlighted above but I did the opposite by arguing for his signature as against the appointment of M. Arteta. I made it clear that I will give him a benefit of a doubt until this season but the man is not helping with some of his stupid decisions. We have not played anything exciting since the end of last season and this season has been worse and difficult to watch from a fan standpoint. This lack of identity is a product constant tinkering of formation, player selection, bad tactics, bad substitutions which ironically used to be his biggest strength and weapon. Don't get it twisted, we may not have the perfect squad but we sure have the squad to win the last 2 games. This is not a Europa League squad anymore and it all boils down to the coach.

Since his appointment, Emery has been stubborn about playing from the back even though it is evident that we not only lack the players to execute that strategy but more importantly, the current players lack the confidence to carry it out. You would think a smart coach will rethink that strategy after consecutive mistakes before the goal was scored, no, he continued to force the play and we were punished. The 2 senior clowns at the back need some benching and serious competition, I am an advocate of Chambers getting a start next week against Aston Villa because the kid played very well against Newcastle and he can not be worse than those aged clowns.

Emery does not have time, he was not hired by Edu and I know Edu is definitely keeping close tabs and already has options should Emery be fired.

I was watching Auba's morale after Watford scored the 1st goal and you could not tell he was deflated because he was working just as hard. He was tracking back to defend and start attacks from deep, only for the idiots to ruin all his effort by conceding a silly penalty. I really pity the guy and the guy is so durable with excellent conditioning.

this was one of the things I pointed out too, but folks here were carried away by drab wins against Newcastle and Burnley. He doesn’t set us up to create lot of scoring chances and even bring other players into scoring positions. If Laca and Auba should have an off day lasan no goal be that.

I cried from the rooftop that his methods were not sustainable in long run they said 3 points Na the koko. 8 points out of 15 and the future looks really bleak.

With Wenger the issue was that we were not consistent, with Emery we are consistent at playing drab.

Well, if they sack the man eventually. He can't blame anybody. He is the architect of his own downfall. Very, very stubborn nigga. Imagine playing five different formations 5 games.

Even if he goes on to win the next three games, nothing changes for me. Especially if we continue with our boring buildup.

Nelson is not hyped. The boy is talented. He is more than capable on talent alone. But talent alone doesn't get the job done. He needs to improve his work rate. He is just careless and lazy in some ways.

I recall stating that Chambers should continue in the starting line up after he impressed against Newcastle, I think it was solomonbrown who insisted Luiz should start.

When players get the feeling that the positions are not under threat, they misbehave and make rash decisions. Look at Luiz, so suspect of causing penalties which everyone now knows. Same goes to Xhaka.

Emery should drop these lots to the bench and see if they won't become more careful with their decisions.

.... I strongly disagree. Nelson hasn't shown anything at all to warrant such hype. He couldn't break into an average Hoffenheim team and has shown little in the games I have watched. Iwobi as the time he broke into the first team had talent and everyone could see it. He beat defenders for fun and could link up play well, the same cannot be said of Nelson. I see Odoi, James and Sterling and I wonder how we let a talent like Gnabry slip through our hands. There was talent in Gnabry not Nelson abeg.

If he doesn't score? How many times has that even happened? If he's not scoring he's assisting Laca to score. They can shove the criticism down their asss. Would they want a Giroud that would pass, pass and pass even inside the opponents' 18 yard box instead of Auba that score goals which is what matters most for a striker.

When was the last time an arsenal player topped the goalscorer chart prior to Auba's coming to arsenal sef?.

Abeg let them face the frail midfield and our calamities defence and hold them responsible for their failings.

Baba,
Chambers did not put a foot wrong against Newcastle and after watching 4 games of those 2 senior clowns, Emery has to be pragmatic and ring up some changes at the back. Listen, teams are in the EPL for a reason and that is why when folks undermine other teams by calling them smaller teams I laugh because it exposes their lack of knowledge of what it means to be in a competition. This is why I take the season game by game, instead of looking forward to playing the "bigger teams'" as if you get 6 points for winning the bigger teams.

Every team in the EPL has earned its right to be there and have a lot to prove to themselves, their fans and owners consequently, no one is going to lay down for you to walk over. These guys are professionals, they train just as hard, if not harder, so if Chambers plays well against Newcastle, it should never be about the opponent being a smaller team but about Chambers's performance on that day. A good coach will build from that foundation especially if you consider the kid had a terrific season last year.

I am not saying Chambers is the 2nd coming of F. Baresi but he can not be worse than those 2 senior clowns, can he? There is so much anticipation for the return of R. Holding and this is not because Holding's return will solve all our defensive problems but it gives us another option to look at, something different with hopes it works out. I have maintained my stance about Niles, the kid's biggest problem is his lack of concentration. It almost feels like he is reminiscing an event that occurred in his life while he is playing. But make I ask, what do we expect Niles to learn from our defenders? He has not had any worthy senior player to learn from since he made the first 11. He played alongside Mustafi, Kos, Sok and now Luiz. Abeg wetin those guys wan teach Niles if not to become a worse clown in the making?

Definitely Socratis is the worse, but we all knew this. We thought Luiz was going to bring some leadership and stability. But he is also erratic.

Let's try Chambers. I think Rob Holding should be ready too. Possibly eased in gradually until he stakes his rightful place in that dead defence.

I see a back four of Tierney, Holding, Chambers and Bellerin before season winds up.
