Nothing to Say Except EMERY OUT

Kroenke Sports "Entertainment" serves up another steaming turd.  At this point, I'd trade managers with just about anybody.  Let Freddie take over.  Lure Eddie Howe to break his contract.  Snap up Pochettino if he's mad enough at his sacking to break his vow never to coach at the Emirates.  Ask Arteta if he'd consider the job.  Anything but more Emeryball.  Exactly why anyone thought that the man who managed to avoid winning Ligue 1 coaching PSG could follow Wenger is a deep mystery.  He had a good stretch last fall, but since then he's been crap.  The club bought excellent additions and our academy has produced several very good players.  For about two weeks, Arsenal was in the unfamiliar position of having no players injured, and we've never had an actual injury crisis in the Emery era.  Kos left in disgust and Ramsey beat it out of town.  Xhaka has been ruined.  Ozil was humiliated.  Torreira is played out of position.  Good players are getting worse every week under Emery's tutelage.  The past 30 league games or so have got to be the worst run Arsenal has had in decades--and this is a very talented team.

C'mon, Raul and Josh--pull the trigger.  You know Edu wants to.  If they haven't been talking to candidates for weeks, it's only out of stupidity.  Stan is losing millions of pounds a week at this rate; the Gunners are going to finish in 12th unless Emery is sacked soon.

Arsenal 1 - 1 Wolves

Pathetic.  Outshot and outplayed at home.  We were fortunate to get anything out of that game.  I won't bore you by repeating the obvious comments about team selection, tactics, and substitutions.  Saka for Torreira just before their equalizer and switching our left backs when we should have been chasing a winner were clown moves.  Every day that Emery is left in place is a day wasted as the team slides backwards.  He should have been replaced weeks ago.

I think Wenger had to go, but with this squad he would have at least 22 points after 11 games, not 17.  We downgraded in the manager position.  When's the last time Arsenal has been pretty much 100% healthy?  Mavropanos and Nelson are playing U23, Bellerin, Tierney. and Holding are back and rounding into form.  We are poised for takeoff, if we can find a decent pilot.  Let Freddie hold the reins until we can get a more experienced hand.  He can't do worse than Emery.
