This is arguably the worst arsenal team I have seen in my lifetime. The defence is just a joke, mf is full of slow, turgid weaklings who have zero technical skills.
We have no wide players and the more and more I see the season go by the more that I have come to the conclusion is that the strikers are not going to elevate this team to the next level. Both are weak and have made zero impact in the away form.
Regardless of all this, should our away form be up there as relegation form? Should our away form be in the bottom 3 in the league?
We have shown no improvements in any of these games and for me the blame lies with the manager. What is his game plan? Constantly tinkering with the team suggest he has no clue and every away game is an experiment. Even with the pathetic squad we have sure the away form should be better?
Another horrible season coming to an end where this team for me has made no improvements. The squad will require a Β£200 makeover for me
Away form blame lies with Emery

I can understand why people want to blame Wenger for our current away form but because it's is partially his players but this is forgetting that Emery had an even worse record in his last season with Sevilla with his own players.
Despite spending £70M on Torreira, Leno and Sokratis, we conceded more away goals than ever before.
Overall last season we conceded 51 goals and we currently are at 49 with 2 games to go.
So at best, I'd say Emery and Wenger are equally sharing the blame!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Equal in blame
This is Wenger's team. Barring 1GK, 1CB and 1DM this is Wenger's team. The team that won one away game at the end of the season 17/18.
So you've taken the Emery away record that happened over 3 years go at 2015/16 season and somehow decided to factor that equally with a record Wenger had with this group of players just 1 season ago?! Do you see how utterly ludicrous that is?
Emery isn't a top manager, his tactics are puzzling and he is not charismatic. All those I'd agree with. But pinning his oddity record that occurred over 3 years ago to the current players is just .

That's because over the last 2 seasons he has been PSG manager which lets face it, even your grandfather could have done a similar job.
But if you want something more recent, then I can describe him as the manager who took a 5 goals lead and a cleansheet in the CL and still managed to feck it up.
But overall you just miss the point. Don't you think that after adding a new CB, DM and GK, we should have started to see see some improvement defensively?

IAWT there's not much point in debating with you tbh. You're very much like GT in the regards that once you've taken a stance on something then you won't shift. In fact even with evidence to the contrary you will still skew the evidence to your narrative.
That's very much fine and as I've said I'm not here to protect Emery. I was a never a massive fan of his jut was very happy to see what he could have done with this team. Answer is not a lot. Tbh I'm still very much of the opinion now that not a single manager in the world could have done much better with these players.
Emery has done very well with these group of players. Holding, Bellerin look completely different players now and he's found some improvement in Iwobi. But overall he's hamstrung with the general quality of the side. He's had to rely on the same old guard in defence who make the same old individual errors. And despite everything we're still in top 4 race, albeit by the skin of our teeth, and in the semi of the Europa.
You might not see improvement, but that's probably because you don't want to see improvement. But we have improved. It's better than the declining state we found ourselves under Wenger.
Emery might not be the right man for us but changing an old declining regime that had crippled us in so many areas was absolutely the right thing to do.

Not when you have an absolutely awful bunch of other midfield options, a calamitous Mustafi, an ageing and injury-prone Koscielny, an ageing and error-prone Monreal and a 'left-back' who cannot defend at all in Kolasinac.
A team is more than the sum of its parts.
Emery was up against it from the very second he set foot into the club.
Yes he has made mistakes, but there is no point calling for his head until he is given a fair crack of the whip.
Again. Give him one more season, with substantial financial backing, and if we are still seeing these same traits, then it will be 100% clear that he's not the man for the job.

He has a poor squad to work with but we should be starting to see his style of play, loads of decent managers have done that in their first seasons but I still don't know what Emery's style is. The worrying thing is how we're getting dominated by teams below us.

Resorted to strawman π. No one has said anything about it not being right to change the regime you cretin, the whole point is that Emery has to take blame.
So much irony in your post about taking a stance and not budging. By choosing to blindy blame an ex manager every time we lose you look like a complete idiot and a laughing stock π€£

I think some people seriously underestimate how weak our players truly are. It's hard to implement a style of play when your squad is as unbalanced as ours is.
From those who have been exposed to regular first team action this campaign, Torreira, Aubameyang, Lacazette, Leno and maybe Sokratis aside (even he is a debatable one), everyone else this season has proven to be mentally fragile or poor footballers. I'm not including AMN or Guendouzi because they are youngsters.
There are teams below us who have plenty of players that would get into our team with ease.
We have been left with a deplorable defence and midfield, but a good attack, which is why we are where we are and why we're not much lower down the table. A few signings won't change much when we are in dire need of wholesale changes.

Nobfather is such an angry little man. Firstly he has trouble getting it on with the ladies. Then his Lord and saviour Wenger can't find a job. Thought the likes of Madrid and Bayern would tripping over themselves to appoint him you bed wetter
