With half the season gone I am extremely impressed with Emery. Particularly as he was left with the weakest and most unbalanced Arsenal squad for decades.
Interestingly, all 5 of Emery's signings started the last match and were arguably our better players on the day. All 5 signings have done well so far, particularly Torreira, Sokratis and Guendouzi. Lichtsteiner was clearly stop-gap and Leno has done reasonably well so far, although I am not yet convinced that he is a top keeper.
In the January window we need a minimum of 2 signings, with Welbeck and Holding out for the season. Lots of 'noise' about Ever Benega and it would be great to bring another South American terrier into the midfield. We need to sell and replace many of the old guard, with the likes of Ozil, Iwobi, etc, simply not good enough or consistent enough. Not looking forward to tomorrow's match, hopefully we will do better than I believe we will.

Tomorrow's game is scary and it's difficult to see us not getting beat and possibly worse :- ( but you never know in football said the Palace Fan who went to City last week:-)

Big Keown likes our chances tomorriw:
singled out six key reasons for his claim which are: a lack of creativity, dealing with long balls, tracking runners, no width, gaps at the back and the famous Anfield atmosphere.
So slim to not chance.
