    Kind of difficult to dispute that he has done a brilliant job. Leicester are pretty good to watch and must be considered favourites for a top 4 spot after Liverpool and City.
    Would you like him at arsenal?

    We've got a massive mess to sort out. Root and branch through the squad, the defence is a shambles and we are soft as ****. It's the same problems that still didn't get sorted out under Emery. Hopefully whoever comes in will coach this lot to defend as a team and then actually buy some quality defenders.

    Yes I would. He's clearly got what it takes to galvanise players into a solid team. And that's what we don't have.

    I think Arsenal want a manager with PL experience and somebody who knows this league. I don't think they want somebody who might take a year or two to adapt.

    well from outside it doesn't look like the manager does the buying or at least not all the buying.

    the leagues changed it can go wrong a lot more easily than go right even with money , so if Arsenal get this wrong you might find like Man United that once you start sliding it's very hard to turn it around these days . If I was an Arsenal fan I'd want someone like rafa in till the end of the season ...he will sort out your defense and then next season you can get in someone to build on some basic hard working foundations

    but your lot aren't prepared to
    a) run towards your own goal
    b) close down oppo players never mind heaven forfend tackle.

    not sure you can "organise" that .

    On the contrary, that's exactly what they should be coached into doing.

    Fair.

    We mugged ourselves clean off at the end. Having managed the game well throughout by keeping our shape, we end up with half a dozen plays in the opposition half in the dying seconds and give the ball away sloppily when all we had to do was move the ball towards the corner flag. ****ing piss poor.

    Don’t think we’ll be top 4. Jose will get you guys on a run and get top 4.
