Training session v Citeh (home).

[Niall_Quinn]

Not a great surprise, City may be out of form by they have class players who know how to play in a system. The facts are we need a top new manager in now, not in January, not in the summer but now, Ljungberg doesn't cut it, he's got no experience, served under the last failed administration and just doesn't really know what he's doing.

Why does everything at this club take so long, why can we never do anything quickly and with minimum fuss like other clubs manage?

We have absolutely no defence. It's just not there. Players are turning up with the relevant numbers on their shirts. They are standing in the correct positions at kick-off. But after that, they don't have the first clue what they should be doing. Wenger toiled for years to produce this. Even if we could pick any manager in the world and they would magically agree to come here, it would take them painstaking years to undo what Wenger has achieved.

I agree, it will take time for any new manager, but you need someone who knows what he's doing in the 1st place, get a system in place, coach and drill players into playinga certain way and then make the necessary changes to personnely when the opportunity presents itself.

Thus far we had years of Wenger who didn't have a clue, followed it up with Emery who just wasn't up to the job and now have left Ljungberg in charge who is clearly out of his depth and using systems he learnt under a failed administration.

Bring in someone new who has done it, has experience and can come with fresh new idea and get rid of all the staff from this failed era so that we can start afresh.

If he was still in charge, Arsenal would be in the bottom 3 now.

Do you want Arsenal to win or do you enjoy saying this shit after every defeat, too much ?

Do you think anyone would be able to get something from these players? The rotten culture at this club has lasted over a decade now. These players are shot. Even Martinelli, you can see the kid has football in his boots and the enthusiasm to go with it. But how long will it take to grind him down to the level everyone else is performing at? Even more important than a system and a plan on the pitch, we need somebody who can change the whole culture. Enter Stan Kroenke. He'll be the guy the new manager is looking to for support.

So we're fucked. Our best bet is to wait for Stan to die of old age. Considering he's a vampire, that might take a while. And then kidnap Josh and issue demands for somebody else to buy the club.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ignoring the nonsense Ljungberg says about being proud of the players and we played OK:

On the appointment of a new manager: "I've said to them [the board] they need to make a decision. We are here to help and the staff are trying to chip in but a decision has to be made so we can have the same resources as other clubs. When I say that they that say I have to wait and see."

Us.

They could get more for sure, not saying it would fix all our issues but we'd be seeing something much better than we are now. Attacking wise we have very good players, but these days we struggle to score.

But we could also drill them into playing as more of a unit at the back. Manager definitely makes a difference, look at Mourinho at Spurs, he's won most of his games since he arrived, Rogers at Leicester is another example.

Of course we'll need replacements as well but realistiically that won't be until the summer, in the meantime a new manager can work out who he wants to keep and who he wants to get rid of.

Do you think anyone would be able to get something from these players? t

Rafa Benitez.

Or any other coach who has a track record of playing the football we use to turn our noses up at in the EPL.

We really need to do a full 360 if we want to save this club and the longer we leave it the more terminal our ailment gets.

This why I miss us being run by real football people.

Good question on Sky for a change. Should Arsenal have got rid of Emery/

Answer. Obviously no. what has moving from an experienced manager who can't do a fuck with this rabble, to an inexperienced manager who can't do a fuck with this rabble actually given us? The experienced manager might have drawn on something to solve a few bits here and there. Freddie has no such experience and will have to rely on blind luck. Statistically speaking, in terms of the chances of improving, we were better off with Dick. But the tourists needed something to tweet about, and so we've shot ourselves in the bollocks for the sheer engagement value.

The Sky lot sort of identified the egregious negligence of Wenger, although they still treat him with undeserved respect. And they've twigged that Arsenal were knee-jerked into sacking Emery by tourist fans who have Twatter accounts. So all that silliness happened. Now what?

Nobody except Sagna has a suggestion. He thinks Ancelotti. For once, Carragher was right when he shot that idea down. That guy is REALLY going to come in and do defending 101?

We're in some serious shit when Sky are making sense.

Something to build on!!!
