I think our style of play is worse than it was under Wenger, we concede too many chances and also don't create enough. Our conversion rate has been above average all season so we've managed to get by, however it isn't sustainable and we ran out of ideas too many times and it eventually cost us.

Emery should get this summer to make a few changes but a decision on his contract will need to be made next year and if we haven't qualified for the CL then it will be time to look elsewhere.
Definitely another year and if we're not back in the CL, then it's time for a change.

The way I look at is in 2017 we finished a point off the top four. Then we fell away from even challenging in Wenger's last year. Emery has got us back to within a point and now has to take the next step forward of getting us back into the top four. He's done it with mostly Wenger's squad and into the Europa final - one step further than Wenger managed. He won't have much to work with over the summer, but if he can get this current team only one win away from the CL (on two counts), then there are no excuses for not doing so with more of his own men in his squad. The first season buffer is over and it's all on him now to take the club forward.
