BREXIT ftw!

It's over bro, I also really wanted Allegri but he either isn't interested or we aren't. Either way it's not happening. Pochettino / Tuchel are the next obsession.

PSG really are idiots, aren't they? Anyway, good for us. Keep Freddie until Tuchel is sacked and get him instead. Might even be a better option.

Tbh, Tuchel is really not a very good man manager... or at least he hasn't been on PSG. I think his personality and style are better suited for a club that is looking to develop younger players. Forgetting CL for a second, PSG have already lost 3 games in Ligue this season and had 5 losses/ 4 drawys (91 points) last season... not to mention losses in cup games. Results haven't been all that great.

Leonardo wants Carlo or Allegri.... or Poche (former PSG player btw). He inherited Tuchel.

Tuchel simply has to deliver a strong showing in CL. Losing to Man U that way last season put him in a weak position... and rightfully so. That wasn't losing to Barca, Man City, etc. Man U were shit.

Their loss, our gain. Tuchel would be excellent for us, attacking minded, speaks perfect English, great tactician. Let's hope they do it.

back to his level

Former Arsenal boss Unai Emery is back in management, with La Liga outfit Villarreal confirming his appointment on a three-year contract.

The dismissal of Calleja is strange strange considering he brought the yellow submarine from 14th to 5th in the space of a season. How can you not feel sorry for him.

by Helmer Thu May 27, 2021 3:40 am

The Spaniard is now at Villarreal with Emery and they're gearing up for a Europa League final showdown with Manchester United on Wednesday evening.

Moreno has reignited his career with the Yellow Submarine after falling away on Merseyside - despite still having kind words for Klopp.

He told The Guardian per Mirror:

"My relationship with Klopp was perfect and, with Unai, he's the best coach I've ever had.

"He knows how to squeeze the best out of you, what to say at any moment, how to get the group to go out and 'eat' the opposition."

He added: "The players talk about it: 'Pfff, another video.' But you play well because you've spent an hour watching your opponents. Emery knows everything. By the time we've finished preparing, we'll know how many kids [Edinson] Cavani and [Paul] Pogba have got.

"The way the team's playing is testimony to his work. And he's also special because he gave me my debut and a run in the team when I was just a kid."

So only time Emery lost Europa league final was with Arsenal. I must say @El Gunner you have earned this Laughing

Emery if he wasn't so reactive like a mouse touched by a hot poker would be considered an elite manager..

.....is an elite manager.

So fucking happy for him. Gets unnecessary hate just because of his greasy hair. Wish we gave him another season at Arsenal

All 6 teams are better than Villareal this season so that position is fair.

it's not just about that... look at the points differential, look at the overall team record... basically has drawn and lost just as much as they won... that's Emery for you. Let's not pretend we don't know what he is. A cup specialist who plays dead conservative football. He is at his appropriate level in Villarreal.

by Doc Wed Apr 13, 2022 6:44 am

Yeah, that is also fair too. Villareal is a small - medium team run on a tight budget so they'll win just a bit more than they'll lose regardless of their manager. (unless their squad really is good enough to crack the top 4).

Emery just has them punching above their weight in cup competitions. Big time. Shit, their only notable trophy came under him (they won Intertoto cups some time in early 2000s).

There’s a difference playing counter football with a small team and coaching a bigger team where most opposing teams will sit back against you. Laughing

by Myesyats Thu Apr 14, 2022 4:11 am

Yep Arsenal was at fault there for signing the wrong profile of coach. It's a club that doesn't accept sitting deep and waiting to convert the 2-3 chances they get

Emery thrives in an underdog type situation while Arsenal aspires to be the top dog so these philosophies of the game totally clash.

I mean, Emery may not exactly be a big team coach or maybe it's the case that nearly all big teams want to keep the ball and dictate the tempo. I would love to see him at Atletico where sitting back is bread and butter.

by halamadrid2 Thu Apr 14, 2022 4:35 am

I bet it'll happen at some point. Atleti have many quality players, he'd probably get them scoring more goals than his Villarreal team but that means curtains for Felix who is neither a Simeone typr player nor Unai type

by Firenze Wed Dec 06, 2023 3:48 pm

based on what he's doing at Villa I imagine he will get a chance at another big club in a year or two

by Myesyats Wed Dec 06, 2023 4:09 pm

...And they will swiftly regret it. He is not a big team coach

by El Gunner Wed Dec 06, 2023 4:20 pm

but honestly what went wrong at Arsenal again?
just not fit enough for the big clubs? too much media scrutiny?

because his Arsenal team certainly never played this good as he did tonight. He has this Villa team well drilled from top to bottom, and they also have a nice crop of young talented players throughout the team, while at Arsenal he still had to deal past it egos such as Ozil

Yeah, I don't think he had a very balanced squad when he was the manager of Arsenal. From what I can tell, the best thing that's happened to the club since Arteta's arrival has been the recruitment.

Unai has always done well in teams that are not expected to win titles. His Villarreal and Valencia teams went toe to toe with Barca/RM every single season but it wasn't enough to win titles consistently especially not the league. His Villa team is in the top 4 now. That's his specialty, getting lesser teams into the top mix

by BarcaLearning Thu Dec 07, 2023 12:48 am

Hmmm... after Ten Hag is sacked, wouldnt mind seeing this overrated one goto Man U n continue the failure Very Happy

by Lord Awesome Thu Dec 07, 2023 5:34 am

Would like him back at Valencia but we need to stop being Limencia rn
