Freddy could just be another Solskjær for all I know. I'd prefer someone with experience, there are quite a few promising young managers out there.

solks... was a remainder of the season appointment initially. we're the kind of club to do some retarded shit like that as well. be careful what you wish for.

United appointed him permanently before the season was over and then he went to shit in the period where they still could've waited to see what he was about. That was the mistake they made, not making him interim manager in the first place.

Decent football and is actually competitive, why not?

Not the ideal man but he would have done better than Emery football wise

Their attack is possibly worse than us statistically

Would rather take a look at Farke or Hassenhuttl than BR. Despite Celtic dominating the SPFL and walking into the CL quals each season, they've failed to reach Group Stages more often than not.

Erik ten Hag?

TambourineMan

ten Hag would be an interesting one for sure.

jones

The names on this page are dreadful. Ten Hag might be worth a shout but if we're looking to replace Emery with the manager of fucking Norwich or worse still Brentan I'll smash Klaus' coffee table

Would rather Ljungberg and I really don't want to ruin him with a premature appointment

Mirth

The names on this page are dreadful but the fact that Brendan Rodgers would probably do a better job than Emery says it all.

jones

I don't think that's true at all. What makes anyone think that the current malaise would look any different with a fraud like Rodgers in charge?

He knows how to set a team up to play attacking football but so did Emery until he got this job. Our squad needs a motivator, a Simeone type who knows how to get your pulse up before a game not a dickhead with a painting of himself in his home.

Bold Tone

Talk about sacking Emery is premature.
Yes, the football is dire but we are still well-positioned to get top 4 which is all that matters.
Yesterday was a bad day at the office for him but the criticism has been slightly OTT for me.
This was a better performance than the rubbish we played when beating Bournemouth.
It was also not as poor as the second half versus Watford or the first 70 minutes against Villa when yanking Xhaka did the trick.
TBH, I didn't think Xhaka was playing badly and Emery may have just been protecting him from getting the 5th yellow which will be an automatic suspension.
Unfortunately, the same tactic didn't work this time as Sheffield United are a better defensive unit than Villa.

I actually think the one thing you couldn't really accuse the players of under Emery is lacking motivation.

I also don't think Emery was necessarily a bad appointment given what we knew about him and what he stated he would try to achieve here, it's just not worked for various reasons.

I don't know - we've been on a clear downward trend since March this year and I think it's going to get worse, not better - despite us upgrading our fullbacks. Granted I understand that the club would rather stick with Emery as long as top four looks viable than gamble unnecessarily but it's pretty obvious that long term Emery isn't the right man for the job so the question now is when rather than if.

Quite a bit being made about how inscrutable his post match presser was. I do wonder how much of a communication problem there still is

Motivation without confidence is worth little. Yes Emery is not completely hapless when it comes to getting players up for it, we've seen it in 2018 when the team was pressing effectively and playing well. The problem is he like so many others looks like he cant keep it up and more crucial still pick the team up when they're down. Very few players keep running and trying by themselves when things aren't working out for them

Emery was absolutely not a bad appointment. I think the language barrier is the primary reason he never really got a hold of the squad, he clearly had some ideas and generally speaking the right ones too, dont think it's nearly as reliant on the full backs as it's made out to be although the injuries definitely didn't help him. His biggest issue is that he seemed to succumb to his urge to change the team too often, again not helped by the mainstays of the team regularly shitting the bed. If you think about how many times individual errors have costed us on both ends of the pitch you can't help but feel sorry for him in fact.

Unless something really bad happens until Christmas I'd probably let him see the season out, if only because there are no immediate successors readily available. Yesterday was a painful watch but it's still just our second loss this season, not a reason to sack a manager just yet

GooneriC

I don't feel sorry for him at all. He is Arsenal's manager , he is doing a bad job of it . Has no respect for the fans by serving up this garbage . If he was sacked tomorrow there would be no protest. I can guarantee it.

Thats kind of fair but then again they are his mainstays now. He can easily drop any of the main stays who fuck up regularly. There are options for Xhaka, Sokratis, Luiz, etc and yet they still start. At this point their mistakes are Emerys fault as much as their own. I'd give him some leeway on Pepe settling and the lack of fullback options while Bellerin and Tierney are still recovering but its getting to the stage where you have to start wondering if he'll ever get the team to click with his instructions.

Bold Tone

If he had Ozil on the bench, he could've sent him on for the Martinelli minutes and avoided all the flack that has gone his way.

goon

Emery keeps talking about certain players "deserving" to be picked or not "deserving" the drop. He seems to give factors such as how they train a disproportionately high weighting vs talent and actual performances in games.

flobaba

Which player consistently performs well in games and is regularly dropped regardless?

flobaba

Can’t wait till the season is over.
