But but, Mourinho whom you have openly adored on this thread was just as critical of Ozil's performance. And that was in Herr Ozil's own words:Nkume wrote:Rubbish my good man Waffi. Even with kids, top 4 used to be Arsenals birth right. We narrowly missed out on 72 points in the season before Wenger's last. At that point he should have called it a day. With the turnover in the squad in the last 2 years, no one should call it a Wenger squad, or claim that Emeribe cannot fix the defense.

Alan Smith (ex-Arsenal striker) on Emery: “I have heard whispers, after all, that some of the players find their manager’s instructions confusing, that they do not really know what he wants them to do. If so, that does not bode well.” [Standard] #afc
"I want you to play as well as you can. I want you to go into tackles like a man. Do you know what it looks like when you tackle? No? Let me show you (mimes a flimsy tackle).
"That’s how you tackle. Ooh, I mustn’t get hurt. And absolutely mustn’t get dirty.
"You think two beautiful passes are enough. You're too fine for going into fights. You think you're so good that fifty percent is enough.
"Oh, are you giving up now? You’re such a coward. What do you want? To creep under the beautiful, warm shower? Shampoo your hair? To be alone? Or do you want to prove to your fellow players, the fans out there, and me, what you can do."

When you read stuff from Alan Smith, you never guess he played for Arsenal. Something happened when he was a player and he has never forgiven the club. He is Leicester born and bred, but being Leicester does not mean you should be anti Arsenal.
Wenger was in on Smith, players like Vieira took an instant mistrust and later dislike of him. The minute he took sides against us after another very bad tempered game in Wenger's 2nd full season as Manager, Wenger facing complaints from senior players, withdrew his ex-player's pass immediately. I always remember Winterburn making this public.
What I don't know is if his ex-player's pass has been restored. I know how these things work, the new regime will be approached by his friends who are also ex-players, and restoring his pass will be easy. If they did restore the pass, I am sure those did will now realise their mistake.
Let's be honest, there is nothing he has said that has not been mentioned here by you, me and other forumers. He mentioning it, does not give it anymore credence especially as he is a discredited ex-Arsenal player.

Re: The Arsenal FC - Related News and Development for 2019/2
My bro, we have to be fair. I know I am going to get criticised. But one of the main reasons I always went against Wenger outers was, in his final two seasons, there were lots of changes to players and you must always give a winner a chance. You have all read what my bro, Azuka has to say about my winner take.Nkume wrote:Rubbish my good man Waffi. Even with kids, top 4 used to be Arsenals birth right.

I really do not think it is fair to judge a Coach so early in the season after so many changes. Last season, there were a lot of changes too. In my view Emery needs a fair crack of the whip before we can judge him.
I know and agree there are valid criticisms of him, but balance must not be ignored. Let us give the man a chance please. Come December we judge because he would have had over a year with the majority of the squad.
I know Norwich and the way the approached their result tonight is a fillip for Emery's critics but it is not always right to base criticisms on the performances of the others.

I’m so proud of this young man. He is an inspiration to all people of color on how 2 combat the worst traits in humans: racism. He has stood defiantly and made them look worse than their evil hearts.

Nketiah replaces Patrick Bamford and scores the winning goal for Leeds. Hooefully he becomes a full time starter under Coach El Loco.
Re: The Arsenal FC - Related News and Development for 2019/2
Alex Iwobi must think he is playing 4 the Gunners. Getting smashd 1-3 on the coast. Everton contimues 2 struggle away from Goodison. Strange becoz they were playing so well at 1-1.
Re: The Arsenal FC - Related News and Development for 2019/2
Finally Emery shows some balls! Will start Ozil and Ceballos.

Good to see Ozil back in the team, hopefully we can stamp some sort of authority and play with some sort of style today. Good luck lads....Nkume wrote:

Well I guess lacking balls cant be ever said to be 1 of Unai Emery’s traits. Starting Ozil and Xhaka against a physical Watford side on the road with the expected new manager bounce is, well ... time will tell after 90 minutes . Don’t know what Willock has done not 2 start this game!

Is it OK 2 give me self a shout out and a pay on the back without cyber attacks? I always knew Emery wouldn’t be fussed about losing Laca except an untimely injury 2 Auba.Sleaky72 wrote:
Reports are saying that Laca is out till next month with an ankle injury. Somehow I don’t think Coach emery is 2 fussed ‘bout dis. He likes having Auba through the middle and now he is free to play with 2 legit wingers. Wonder who slots in 2 spell Auba 4 the Europa? Martinelli? John-Jules?
