To actually answer your question Stanny,
He is technical coach like Simeone who studies his players and brings out the best in them.
But he is a more attack minded coach than Simeone. He loves the counter attack if needed but his PSG dominated possession and their opponents. Emery is a bit of a tweaker who pays attention to his opponent as much as sets his team up with a 'style of play', not that many modern coaches do that. Mourinho, Pochetino, Sampaolo (when he was in charge of Chile - Not Argentina) maybe Benitez.
His main quirk is with fullbacks. He emphasises width in his team and loves attacking fullbacks, but loves taller fullbacks who can dribble. Lichsteiner and Kolasinic will start the season as 1st choice if he keeps on trend.
A new Tuesday Club podcast was released yesterday. Aim to listen to it today..
As for weekends game against City.. Its a tough draw first game and new era... We def need to give Emery some time.... This season is always going to be a transition... But Im keen to see where he takes us..
Can you guys make sure Bellerin starts against Chelsea. Hazard wants to say hello
Hello there. Thanks for starting Bellerin
Dont know what game you watched but it was more down to Arsensls shit finishing in the first half that you aint celebrating a lossQuote:

How much you pay for him??
Worst deal in EPL history that one
Yeah sorry Stanny. We should have scored 4 in the 1st half and could have easily put 6-7 away (That's only shots from within 10 yards of goal directly in front, not half chances)
Your defence, which was great under Conte 18 months ago, was poor. Our attack, which is worth a hell of a lot of money, were even worse.
Chelsea were worthy winners but don't get too excited by that result. We will see you at the end of the season fighting it out for 5th spot with Everton. The best we can both hope for is the Europa League final or FA Cup final i'd say. Otherwise we won't be fighting for titles this season.
I can see 2 more big transfer windows for both our clubs before the managers are comfortable to play their system fully.
Kepa looked shakier with the ball coming at him than Cech did with the ball at his feet. Still young but wow! That's a lot of money for a reasonable at best keeper.Quote:

All I said was thanks for starting close to the worst RB in the league. No argument on the defences of both teams or your lack of finishing. Although funny seeing Ozil go missing again
Not from Arsenal's povQuote:

Mkhi was terrible up against Alonso and he graciously took his goal and assist from his poor marking all game.Quote:

We exploited Bellerin lack of defensive awareness and laziness coming back after bombing forward as most teams will do this seasonQuote:

What though was glaringly obvious from your perspective was how easily Arsenal carved you up particularly in the first half
It wasnt like you didnt have troops back there. Most of the time it was 6/8 Chelsea on 3/4 Arsenal whom had unmarked players
Your Sarriball I think will get found out in time
Good to watch but that dont win trophies
We have good proven defenders so I back them to sort it out in time. Arsenal on the other hands dont really have any top defenders and Cech is finished so Im more optimistic about usQuote:

We didn't get the points but I think there are a lot of positives for Arsenal. We essentially created the same chance time and time again and Chelsea's defence still looked perplexed by it. Maybe Lacazette comes in.
I think we also see Torreira take over from Xhaka in partnering Guendouzi in the middle of the park, which I am excited to see. Apart from his first half against City, I think Guendouzi has been great, especially when you consider where he has come from. Will turn out to be a great signing for us.
On Bellerin - I think he has a bit to work on defensively, but he certainly gets very little help from Mikhi, who was very ordinary on Saturday, and a back line that is still trying to sort itself out.
It'll come together. How long it takes, no one really knows.
I don't know. That is why I will wait till end of season to tell you. You may be correct, I just don't know how you can make that judgement of the 1st/2nd game of the season. All that needs to happen is that there is an injury to one or two key players of the teams you mentioned and they will be cactus. Who knows?Quote:

Easy money
Watched the West Ham game today paying close attention to thge Arsenal Right sided defending
Have to say Stanny you have nailed it with Bellerin
Handy going forward but honking as a defender
Really cant hide that anywhere
Hard to see how Emery could continue to persist with him
Arsenal collectively defensively still a shambles and a better side than West Ham wiuld have got more than 1
And so have all the other epl sides.Quote:

Xhaka and Torreira can hopefully start the next game and form a partnership to settle us down on the counter. City drew at the Molinuex, the league is ours for sure.
Koscielny isn't much better then your current CBs though
I'm glad you think Mustafi and Sokratis are that good. Koscielny is top 5 CBs in the EPL when fit. Just hope his achilis is now sorted and it hasn't slowed him down. Otherwise we are going shopping again in 6 months.Quote:

Almost time to start resting our star players for European football to ensure the double.
Just found this awesome video of Danny Welbz greatest assists compilation. Worth a watch.

Arsenal results in September.
wwwwwww
Perfect month, first time that's happened for a long time.
Leno has now got a chance to make that 1st team keepers jersey his own now. Cech just walks off and takes it in his stride, as he has done his entire career. Such an awesome bloke it looks like.
