JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 2 hours ago, JoshVilla said: Not sure if this has already been posted, but: I was having a look at this SkyBet "Fan Central" thing that keeps popping up on twitter. Essentially, they've polled 1400 PL fans for their thoughts on the upcoming season. One of the questions is where do they rank the other managers in the league from best the worst. According to the 1400 fans polled, Unai Emery is ranked, on average: The 13th best manager in the league. Seriously!? He's below the likes of Thomas Frank, Vincent Kompany, Roy Hodgson, Rob Edwards & Steve Cooper. I swear that there's a huge number of football fans that try to be controversial for the sake of it. In fairness... he is simply building on the great work Steven Gerrard did. We'll need to see how he gets on this season before making any grandiose proclamations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I am particulalry taken by UE's comments on the young players, being given a chance. He is not intimating 2 or 3 games and being judged.....he is talking 1/2 seasons. I think he sees enough to know, that certain players, now need his touch.....and that long/medium term they will come good. How that will impact, more incomings, I don't know.....but he does seem adamant in developing these boys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_Villain Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Bloody love the bloke… I’d follow him if he was leading a cavalry charge into a volcano… because I’d bet my bollocks that he would have a plan to win that just might work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a lot of balancing to do.....not all decisions are as clear cut as we think and for that reason he will make mistakes....Pep makes mistakes. He will make mistakes, its inevitable.....but he will correct them, and work on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post duke313 Posted August 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2023 It still seems like a lot of other clubs fans still aren’t taking us seriously under Emery. We’re going to upset a lot of people this season. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Emery definitely has got people taking us seriously. Without a summer tournament in the men's game it's given people enough time to look back on the season and see how well we did under Emery, his pedigree in Europe and all whilst we sign 3 top players and have half our squad linked to top 4 candidates. I think there's 7 players in our squad now that could be considered good enough for the champions league and several others that are young and hungry enough to reach that kind of level. I'd not have thought that before Emery arrived. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very possible that everything we thought about our players during the Gerrard era was false. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 You have to put this into context. We finished 7th. West Ham finished 6th a couple of times. Did we take Moyes seriously and gushed all over him. Nope. Didnt give a crap about them. Fans are fanatics. We have our own but others have far far more espcially as social media opens it up to a worldwide audience . Emery is doing brilliantly. Alot of the media have a narrative that he is underated because of his Arsenal stint. They respect us . But the general football fanbase dont care just as we don't care about their teams.

Jas10 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Where would we have finished if Unai had joined us for the beginning of last season, had we sacked SG at the end of the prior season or during preseason….. ? 5th/6th could have been possible… hard to say really, we would have been more active in the market too… and probably won some games we drew/lost… With more time with the players and new additions…. I can see the aim being 5th this season … especially if it results in CL qualification… I’ve read that this is something Unai is determined to achieve asap, as well as winning a trophy… I wouldn’t be overly fussed about the ECL in that case… I’d rather finish high in the table… but I’ll take a cup win of any sort but not in exchange for a low(er) standing in the table… Progress… steady, stable, sustainable/consistent progress… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
