I see us in 11th position and thank Emery and Gazidis. We aren’t going to get relegated, so I’m not worried. But for too long we have been making tweaks hoping our team would be just good enough for 4th and no more. And those tweaks weren’t done with a greater vision in mind. And, predictably, a poorly maintained machine falls apart.
Now that we are so low in the table with a new manager we can have a serious conversation about rapidly rebuilding a new team around a clear ethos. That conversation is possibly tougher when we are 5th and the owners can say just coach the guys into 4th or sign Denis Suarez and let’s see.
Emery has given us the biggest present ever! Arteta and Edu have to make the most of it
