Arsenal 13 fouls and 6 yellow cards. Saints 19 fouls and 2 yellow cards. This is a crazy common theme in all our games this season. Can anyone who watched the game confirm if arsenal were just not making fouls but when we did they were clear yellows? Which is odd in itself because you see so many teams get that warning and last warning before they get booked. We just seen so easy to card it’s crazy |

Out shot 21 to 12 at home to Southampton. So far we have 18 points this season. Considering we can’t pick up a thing on the road and have drawn our last 3 home games you have to say that if Emery is allowed to stay until the end of the season you are looking at a season tally maybe in the 45/50 point mark max. That probably puts us 12th or so. It really wouldn’t be a surprise that a) it happens and b) emery is allowed to make it happen |

We deserved every yellow card we got today as far as I could see. It is plainly obvious that he has lost the dressing room but what we need is someone to call him out for is incompetence. Emery must go as soon as possible. |

I really doubt the club have the balls to end this pantomime. There are no tangible signs of progress and no redeeming features to our play and the only good thing Emery appears to have done during his tenure is to give some of the kids a chance. There is no reason to keep this farce going other than the financial implications of sacking him, although perhaps the club will consider that with our top four hopes gone they might as well wait until the season's end. |

If he stays I cannot see where we might pick up points. Look at the games to come. I can only see a handful of points if we keep playing like this. He will not be with us at the end of the year............ Why delay the inevitable? |

From F365 - always finds the words to sum things up brilliantly A manager out of his depth in relatively shallow waters. Losing away at Leicester can be excused, but only because Emery has lowered standards and expectations to such a level. The bar cannot be lowered far enough to make scraping a point against Southampton anything other than an unmitigated disaster. And the result only tells half the story. Southampton had nine more shots. Only three of their starting outfielders didn’t have at least one attempt; Danny Ings had as many in the first half as Arsenal overall. A team in 19th, who were beaten 9-0 less than a month ago and were locked in a seven-game winless run with statistically the worst defence in the league, were too strong, too fast, too unified, too confident for almost the entire game. |

He has to go now. It can't continue. It's hard to imagine how a change of manager could make things any worse. |

I think they probably have a candidate in mind who probably can’t start until next year. I would get a short termer in immediately. The one I have in mind is Guus Hisdinck. Yep all the hanger oners are a problem. Get Guus to bring a defensive coach and the rest of the entourage stay but take directions from Guus. If they don’t like it negotiate a release. And I don’t care if he has them putting out cones while Mertesacker, Bould & Ljunberg help out. Let’s try something. We are not even going to be in Europa next year so we have nothing to lose. Inaction is fatal. |

Maybe some of you find Wilts a bit repetitive but I honestly can’t argue with his views on Kroenke’s ownership. |

I said I didn’t watch the game so just wanted to see if it was justified. We are miles top of the fouls per booking stat, something like a card every 3 fouls when some teams pick up a card every 11 fouls. It’s hugely disproportionate but every ref is treating us the same which leans more towards us being utterly stupid and unable to foul without it being blatant rather than any conspiracy- that’s not what I was getting at |

Southampton managed 13 shots in the last 3 games combined. They had 21 against us! Under emery this season we’ve conceded 56 more shots than we’ve taken. How is this clown still allowed to be in charge? If I tried to set up a team to play in to the hands of every single opponent and also play to the weaknesses of every one of my players you’d be hard pushed to do it better than Emery |
Author: | Rich [ Sun Nov 24, 2019 4:38 am ] |
Post subject: | Re: Supporters Forum |
At the moment every stat should have us in the bottom 5 of the table. If emery continues for the rest of the season it wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine us sweating about being a few good wins for teams below us to pull us in to a relegation fight |

Maybe some of you find Wilts a bit repetitive but I honestly can’t argue with his views on Kroenke’s ownership. Take your point Bernard,but I think the problem is larger than the simple economics of offloading Dick and his camp followers, the whole Club seems to be comatose from top to bottom,even allowing for a disinterested absentee owner who looks like he belongs in a police line up. The handling of the issue surrounding that swivel eyed, duplicitous thief Özil has been farcical from whoa to go for instance. If I had Stan's money I'd pay out his contract and gift him to Dagenham & Redbridge for Christmas! And then there's the debacle surrounding Xhaka. All the red herrings and spin under the sun won't change why he was booed off the ground in the first place. And a manager who claims not to know when or if he will play again? Pardon me squire, bu isn't it your job to know? Does he have a Hissy Fit clause in the contract? A Toys Out of the Pram codicil? Its all just a bloody shambles from where I sit, simple chap that I am. My wife has been wondering lately why I don't just stick to shoving bamboo under my fingernails, instead of crawling out of bed in the middle of the night in my dotage. Sadly, she has a point. Watched Wrighty's interview with Bergy a while ago, and recall him saying that such was the passion a the Club back then that there was rarely a training session where they didn't have to break up a fight. Can't imagine the current shower even comprehending that level of commitment! Simply can't see any top manager being willing to take on this mess even if the Board acted, which they won't given they don't have the balls god gave a gerbil! |

It’s hugely disproportionate but every ref is treating us the same which leans more towards us being utterly stupid and unable to foul without it being blatant rather than any conspiracy- that’s not what I was getting at Quite a few of them came from professional (or semi-professional*) fouls when we lost the ball and with our players upfield. We were caught like that very frequently. Özil never reacts in these situations, even when he is the one who has lost the ball. So its 10 v 11 when when we are out of possession. We also pick up yellows from similar situations caused by *%^@*** around at the back. The final category is simple indiscipline (lip, handbags). There was a fair amount of that but I can't recall if there were any that led to yellows yesterday. *Lacazette's was a case in point but I give him a pass because of his goals and general combative attitude. |

Surely it is just a case of when and how he is sacked and who he is replaced with. The owners (not the board) must be listening to Edu and Raul who surely can see that Emery is a busted flush. The last time we won in the league was two months ago. No doubts, this is relegation form. Teams that are in a relegation battle are always less than the sum of their parts. And we are certainly in this category. Individually we are better than the current performances. However the coach is failing to get the squad playing to their potential. Therefore he must go. We are just waiting for the when and how. BTW, at least we will not be playing Thursday night next season. |

I’m more and more convinced that emery is doing such irreversible damage that we are going to go in to another huge squad turnover. Remember we’ve turned over virtually the entire playing squad in the last 3 seasons. The combination of highly paid players needing to be shifted, ageing players needing to be shifted and crucially the very best players wanting to leave, I think will mean the following players leave this squad in the next 18 months: Aubameyang, Lacazette, Özil, Xhaka, kolasinac, mustafi, Sokratis, torriera and Luiz possibly might retire somewhere else. A complete restructure required yet again |

If we hang on to Emery purely for financial considerations then that is a small club mentality but their argument would probably be that with top four gone already we might as well wait until the summer. Personally, I'd make the change now and give the new manager a few months to get used to things so he can hit the ground running next season. |
