I don't think his commitment will be less than any other player...just think it's additional pressure. Big call by your manager ... could be setting himself up for some big criticism if it doesn't come off.
Yep, it's definitely a gamble. Emery's clearly hoping to give him a game to end his career on a high with, but yes it could come back to haunt them both.
Tight game. Been 50/50 soo far. Ozil has not really kicked into gear yet. If we up the intensity we can win this.
Absolutely gutted. Waited so long for our European final for them to perform like this. They all need firing
Think Emery does deserve a chance to have a second season just about... But then again, managers like Allegri don't come round very often...
Days like this makes me want to stop following arsenal for good. I suspect in my lifetime we won’t challenge for the title again!
When I said, our Manager needed to go, people said I was being silly.... I hope you are all in agreement now? He is so poor it is unbelievable, Sarri villified all season, yet he won the Europa and finished top4...
Chelsea are an average side + Hazard (who has been the difference tonight). We are way worse than average as anyone who's watched us this season will attest. We're a poor side with a few good players but we are nowhere near challenging for top honors.
Our club is drifting, and with teams like Newcastle being bought by Quatar, there is only one direction to go - downward. I know I sound pessimistic but I just don’t see us having a direction. We definitely won’t spend which is what is required to push on. We played poor today, not much to say. Feel sorry for the fans in Baku the most.
Yeah I have to agree, without investment this team is lost. With up and coming sides like Wolves, Everton and others, we might very well be pushed down the league in years to come. Scary thought. Had a chance to really build for the future tonight but we blew it big time.
