While I'm 100% for Emery to go I dont subscribe to this thing around how rubbish our players are aswell. Just look at the way Sheffield United are playing today hungry and energetic, granted we all know United are rubbish. In terms of ability are Sheffield Uniteds players better than ours absolutely not they are just playing a in positive environment where everyone is pulling the same direction. You could put Leicester in the same bracket a year ago they looked directionless with the same group of players. Now they have a manager who can get the best out of them. We've certainly got players that should be doing better.
If the players aren't putting 100% then they need to look at themselves but the people on the board who are responsible for not changing the manager already need to have look at themselves as well.
The right attitude

I think the attack and even defence isn't too bad. However, you can't excuse for the midfield. That is the problem

Our team even makes the team that would otherwise be bottom look like a top team. Its all down to Emery. Even Auba looks downhearted at the moment and he won the golden boot. Its up to the manager to motivate and lift them.

You say that though but really is Torreira a bad player no I dont think so he's just been mostly played out of position. Guendouzi has obvious promise maybe shouldn't be a regular as much as he is, we could do with a quality midfielder but there is something to work with there already.

Can't remember the last time I saw an Arsenal side that was full of steel, togetherness and a win-at-all-costs attitude. Pressing high but remaining organised and getting in the oppositions faces.
I'd love to see this group of players under a manager good enough to instill that mentality, although you have to wonder whether our woes are down to a culture right across the club.

Yet that’s pretty much the same midfield which helped us in a lengthy unbeaten run last season. So are they not good enough or are they tactically not being given the right instructions in the field.

We were being cut open last season in every game but fortunately the opp failed to take their chances.
Teams were marching through our MF last season as well.

Not every game don’t spout rubbish, there were games where Torreira was exceptional against L’pool at home and against the other big teams. It’s obvious that this team are unorganised and do not know what they’re doing tactically.
