3rd different set up in 3 games. Nice to have a recognisable style of play.

still no proper press, still wide open every time we lose the ball and getting overrun in midfield, initial signs not the best and yet again it looks like players struggling to work out whats expected of them apart from trying to play out from the back every time

Don't worry, Sean will be on soon to say it is all part of a tactical masterclass against one of Europes greats.

Mustafi gets the first card of the game. No surprise there then.

Further proof Emery doesn't have a tactical clue of how to set up the squad at his disposal. Different formation, same lack of tactics. Wide players are so narrow they may as well be holding hands with Martinelli, no press in the midfield or from the back 3, allowing so many shots from outside the box. Not to mention his 4 captains setup of which none are playing so the armband goes elsewhere at random 🙄.
Why are Arsenal playing today? Normally it is a Thursday for Europa matches.

At the request of Portguese police to avoid a clash

The match is today due to Portugal police request, however to say we are playing is a very posse term indeed. We have 11 players on the field but wouldn't call it football, more like headless chickens due to tactical ineptitude

Just heard the start we haven't had a shot on target for over 103 minutes, says a lot about our creative element, then factor in how many chances we've conceded it's no surprise we're a mess.

Absolutely dire performance, completely directionless and the players just look confused. Look like papering over the cracks from a set piece and couldnt even hold onto that.

That bit right there sums up what needs to happen.
Complete lack of direction or even an idea of what direction he wants the squad to take. Players are totally confused with his tactics or lack of, he literally is just making it worse with each change he makes

I must have a very low bar set for acceptable results but 1-1 away to that opponent seems a good result to me. I'm not sure about a tactical masterclass but I do think there is a method to his madness and that one day the team will settle down. I like the way that Emery is not afraid to play younger players and he's taking his time with Bellerin, Holding, Martinelli etc.
Also, nice to read that the Etienne coach deeply regrets selling Saliba to Arsenal, based on his current form I think we have some player coming to us next year.
You may as well get behind Emery because hes here to he end of the season at least.
