if Brendan was smart enough to play the long game, he would try to let us win next week to keep Unai around. His ego would never allow that though.
why the fuck are we playing at 10:50 on Wednesday Think Leicester may be the first time I root against Arsenal. Even at Wenger's worst, never felt that 1 loss would mean much. 1 convincing loss and Emery has to be done, I just can't stand watching this anymore. Sucks the joy out of the sport.
would rather keep Xhaka and get rid of Emery. honestly, not to defend Xhaka, but I think Emery's usage of him was more of a problem than Xhaka himself.
Wow, 8 sacked from the academy, Xhaka finally stripped of the armband, and Emery likely sacked in a week. Edu and Raul doing work
I’m going to enjoy tomorrow and hope for the loss this weekend. They bring me zero joy in the league.
Not a good enough athlete for this league. Add in his temperament and while he had some really good stretches, his bad stretches have been brutal.
I think he’s a good enough athlete he just lacks the brain cells. He can rope a pass provided conditions, he’s not afraid to tackle, he’s just fucking stupid. That said I’m not saying he has the prowess to be world class, but he has the skill set to be adequate for sure. I’ve been a hater for many years and took shit many times ITT because of it. I just think if he was smart enough positionally he could make a living in the Prem. 90% of his mistakes are just dumb. He’s fucking retarded.
I wasn't trying to insinuate that Xhaka was a good player that Emery ruined. just saying that he could have had a limited place in the squad that didn't result in him becoming a pariah like he has if Emery didn't insist on building the midfield around him despite repeatedly failures.
The initial jeers were for Emery, not Xhaka. Then Xhaka decided to mosey along off the pitch & lose the plot.
you don't just walk into Vitoria on a Wednesday afternoon and control the game. you have to just soak up the pressure and hope you can catch them on the break. they're too powerful, too talented.
