Don Pacifico I do think some of the things with Arteta which gave me hope was; he had a vision of how to bring us back; he could clearly articulate that vision (as he did at his first presser) and; perhaps most importantly, he understood how big Arsenal is and how far ouw standards done fell.
I don't think Emery had any of that.
Which isn't to say taking over from Arsene, especially with things as they were in the back office, wouldn't have been a hospital pass. I just think Arteta would have dealt with it better than Emery.
