Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [30th November - 3rd December 2018]

That was a proper derby. Lots of goals, a controversial decision and some nice meaty challenges in midfield.

All topped off with the right result

One of best london derbys for years

Torreria is a proper player sooooo happy for him to get his debut goal in such a manner as today :cool:

Even Neymar said a few weeks back that Arsenal will do very well under Emery. Of course he was a constant pain in Emery’s backside when he was there but he, himself said he’s an excellent coach/manager.

I’m loving this new dynamic Arsenal that we are seeing this year. We had a terrible start to the season, not helped by some tough games but since then we have been one a different level.

Still defence needs more fixing but at the moment I’m over the moon that we won a very tough game.

The good thing is almost everyone has improved, some massively like Iwobi who had completely forgotten what his feet were supposed to do while training under Wenger, some less so like Xhaka who is only a little improved. But that means unlike Wenger who brought in a player and they got slowly worse over time, now Emery can bring in some defenders and also improve them over time to be even better. Based on their rating and judgement of Torreira I'm optimistic they'll (the new guys from Dortmund and Emery making decisions together) buy some good players in the coming years to strengthen/rebuild this side to be considerably better.

Mustafi, Sokratis, Monreal, Kos are all pretty old and even if they were top of their game and not making mistakes would need to be being replaced sooner rather than later. Sokratis was obviously a cheap short term supplement to what we had and is needed with Kos's injuries and frankly no one else good enough. I think we'll get at least one CB in summer, maybe two.

Leno is seemingly coming good as well, came out early and well a couple times in that game, came out miles once and got it spot on. People were saying he was over rated and not worth the cash, as in people who watched him in the German league last year but he seems to have been a fair upgrade. THere is a video of Chesny and Flappihandski both basically mocking Garry Peyton, our previous GK coach. Not surprising seeing as basically every keeper who leaves improves a lot. Chesny now god damned first team at Juve ffs and playing great every time I've seen. New guy is a highly rated GK coach and hopefully Leno continues to improve with a good coach. Cech if he sticks around for a bit (which doesn't seem likely) might also improve a fair bit under proper training again.

All signs are positive from Emery and from Arsenal in general. Better transfer decisions started in winter when the new guys from Dortmund got involved in that part of the club, better coaching, better mentality, better team choices and better performances as a result.
