Pittsburgh Footy
Player Valuation: £35m
This just isn't true.He finished 5th (a point from 4th) and a Europa League final last season.
They were about 7th or 8th when he got the sack. A rocky patch in form that the fans got worried about and got on his back.
Probably he's a bit too much like Wenger of the past few years in terms of style. But that's why they got him in. He's certainly wasn't doing any worse at Wenger for the past few years.
But I don't know what their fans want. Cos challenging for the title isn't gonna happen for a while regardless of who they get in
He had Arsenal playing turgid football and they weren't even fun to watch any more. It's not like they were losing games 4-3 up and down the pitch. It was kind of like when we were having 60% possession with Martinez but doing nothing with it. I have a lot of mates who are Arsenal fans and they couldn't wait to see the back of him. Getting outshot at home by bottom feeders.
As others have said, I thought Emery was a good hire for Arsenal at first and I'd have loved him here. After this season with his struggles with a side like Arsenal with the talent they have, I'm not so sure he'd be a good fit for our Everton.
As for 7th or 8th when he got the sack, that's a bit disingenuous. 7th through 17th is so congested.
