Get out of here with your wins and losses, we all know the true measure of a team is passes from zone 10.

Here I was thinking it was all about Zone 14

Agree with Xhaka. Mustafi is as bad as ever.

Yep. I thought Mustafi was starting to improve when him and Holding were together but he's fucked up too much since.

Agreed. I was happy to give them both time under Emery to see if he could tease out what Wenger couldn't. I don't see that Mustafi has done anything to justify that faith, whereas Xhaka, for his continuing faults, can clearly bring something to the table.

I'm not convinced Mustafi is quite as hopeless as he appears at times, I just think first and foremost he is plainly unsuited to a team as open and undisciplined as Arsenal. Getting rid of him, and bringing someone in the mid 20s in would be the ideal scenario. Someone to act as a bridge between Kos and Sokratis who can provide experience for the next year or so, and the likes of Holding/Chambers/Mavropanos who have to develop in the coming seasons.

What are these zones?

In a league considered to be one of the most physically demanding we have used small centrebacks for years on end now. No team has won the league without physical centrebacks

Defending crosses and a great goalscorer can win you the league in the right setup.

We were talking about performances, not results, two things which are apparently incredibly difficult to distinguish.

Well you want to ignore the reality of results to apply a subjective and unfair view of the performances to fit your agenda against Emery.

I've heard that Emery eats small children

Unai, what big teeth you have!

I heard Emery went to manage a club and he ate everyone at the club and they had to close the club down.

They use that angle for spring training - Unai runs towards players yelling “come ‘ere you I’m gonna eat ya” and they run as hard as they can to stop themselves being eaten

He is definitely Draculaesque.

You can't seem to grasp the point. I'll try one more time.

Results say very little about the quality of the performances. The number of big chances you create and concede do say something about the quality of the performances. So if the first are good and the second are poor, you may expect the law of averages to kick in at some point, as it has right now.

Ah that also explains all our injuries too then

One thought for the Emery-haters: it definitely gets a lot worse.

Would fully expect any appointment to follow Emery to be much more widely hated.
