The Goon Thread - Officially Second In A One Horse Race

Taking to a goon at work, he is saying that the new man has loss both games, and they can’t see what style of footie, they want to play. So they should cut their losses and replace him. :eek:
 
A lot of work for Emery to do. Took over an unbalanced and misfiring squad.

Swinging between excellent and very poor in their first two games. I would be reasonably optimistic if I was an Arsenal fan. Couldn't get a much harder start, but two games they could afford to lose.

I agree. Most of this season will be about him sussing out the players. If they can be in the chase for a top four place whilst doing that, then they will have had a reasonable season.

I think he is weeding out the wasters in that squad...problem is, two of the biggest ones are virtually unmoveable as their wages are disgracefully high.

Not a chance they'll be in a chase for top 4 and who knows what skills Emery has?. Poch had the balls (and time) to strip the personnel bare and work from there, style of play and results could follow, not sure if the goons (fans or board) would tolerate that?
 
Think you can tell by the business they done this summer it's essentially a trial season for Emery - patch up the obvious areas of weakness with bargin buys and give him the chances to assess the squad (and for the board to assess him)

Be surprised if they finish higher than 6th but if Mourinhio has a meltdown they could sneak 5th

I don't think that they have a chance either. If it is mathematically possible around Easter, that's a good season.
