    We definitely treated Emery too harshly plus gave him absolute shit players. Look at what the dude is doing at Villa now.

      The ideal situation is a combination of getting the right people for the right job and empowering them to do their jobs.

      It’s no surprise, that Arteta was the first manager after Wenger who had that platform, Emery just wasn’t the right person in the long run and we can admit he wasn’t empowered by the club to do his job either like for example, Arteta has been.

      Arteta just feels right from a personal standpoint and Emery’s credentials speak for themselves, but sometimes, it’s just not the right fit. That’s why he’s striving at Villa and it’s great to see that.

      He can’t manage at elite clubs. He is great at managing underdogs with relatively low expectations.

      Top coach but has to be in the right circumstances

      My man didn’t live through that Soton home game, the Leicester away one or Frankfurt at home…
