Banter please Ed’s. Wow what a north London derby. Both teams played with intensity, quality and commitment. 3 things united lack in droves.

On display was 2 managers who did not get a huge amount of money to spend on players in the summer. One did t have anything to spend at all. Did they silk and turn on their players whenever things went wrong? Or did they knuckle down and work tirelessly to improve their players and to imprint their philosophy and ideology on their two sets of players?

Emery has done such an incredible job at arsenal. This is a team who were being spanked regularly by teams in the top 6. They hadn’t won an away league game in ages before he took over. By and large, these are nearly ALL the same players that Wenger had at his disposal, apart from the wonderful Torreira. He was an absolute bargain and a great find by mislentat and his scouting team. Arsenal have executed their transitional from Wenger to emery beautifully. Investing in the restructure of the club and hiring a progressive and forward thinking manager has worked wonders for them.

Emery is a fantastic tactician. But above all else, he seems to be such an amiable character. His man management skills are working wonders on several players who were a laughing stock under Wenger. What a difference in performance for the likes of iwobi, xhaka and mustafi to name a few. Then we look back at our situation. You cannot tell me that martial, pogba and bailly are not more talented than those three arsenal players. Yet which would you rather have in your team on current form? I know who I would. I take my hat off to emery because I’m a short amount of time you can really see what he is trying to achieve with this side. What their identity is. The players look like they are having the time of their lives at the moment. The fans are in dreamland. This is what football is about. Look at our players and look we we fans have to watch week in week out. There is NO excuse for Jose when you have the likes of emery and sarri coming in and improving players and style of play in 3 months when we are nearly 3 years down the line and there is still no identity or style of play. If anything, we have regressed.

Onto Poch, I think he has taken spurs as far as he can. People will say he bottled it and maybe he is not right for united but I think he’s a no brainier. If we push for him I think he is very attainable. The question is will the owners be willing to do so? We are at a cross roads. Appointing someone who is willing to improve the players and brings a progressive forward thinking way of football will make the world of difference. We may not have the squad to win the league, but we would be much more entertaining and we would be building something which can materialise into something potentially great.

Poch has a very talented squad but still they have won nothing. I don't know if he has the ability to take it to the next level which is where Utd need to get back to.

I think we shouldn't be touching any managers or players from our top rivals in the league anymore because it brings in a lot of pressure along with it. 90% of the times these type of signigs fail. Poch will be scrutinised heavily from day 1.
I hope we get someone from a foreign league with new fresh ideas and the same goes for the dof.
