Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

Wenger never left

Don’t disrespect Wenger by comparing him to this clown. Wenger in the end still had more tactical nous and vision than Emery.

He stayed too long but still light years ahead of Spanish Paul Jewell

I thought it was the Champions League (Heavy D).

Anyway AfTV is going to be classic this season.

Robbie will be able to retire ten times over.

wait....is everyone from that other thread back here?

I haven't seen the Bantz thread in jbo for almost a year

now that the crew is here, does anyone still have video of the black british kid being bullied into bending his own shoes from last summer?

Spanish Sean Dyche, Neil Warnock that can cook a paella...what's next?

@Montez & Claude from Arsenal Fan TV where the ones to call out Emery from the beginning

 

[Montez]

Xhaka's post game was damning but needed.

Aubameyang is going to be an issue real soon. He could be more way more goals under an attacking manager. He's 30 playing on the wings and defending, he runs out of steam so quickly now.

Nah, for most of this decade they've had substandard managers. If they had Rafa Benitez I think the supporters would be content.

Nah, Arsenal fans want a coach who is going to correct the defence. Now you may think But they haven't had that since the late 80's and early 90's. Wenger never had to teach defence because he had the back 5, who were drilled in Graham and Howe's training for all those years. All Wenger did, was get them to play on the ground instead of in the air, kill the drinking culture and get them to eat properly. And once the transition from the 90's back 5 to the invincibles 5, you still had Adams and Keown, to help Lauren and Cole and adding the best English defender in Campbell, made sure they never lost a step. When Kolo came in, it was seamless, because everyone else in defence knew their role and he was the one being mentored. Once Keown and Campbell retired and moved on, they didn't have anyone who was drilled and who could lead and organise the defence. Gallas was a good defender, but he was never a leader of a defence. Nor did they replace Gilberto, the third defender/screen, but that is another convo for another time.

What was the main gripe under Wenger last decade incharge? Defending and concentration and it is still the same thing now.

People can complain about Wenger signed players like Mustafi and Xhaka, but on Sunday it was the 3 players signed under Emery, that were for the phuck ups.

Emery isn't a good manager by any means. Fans were actually too nice to him.
