If we finish in Champions League places and win the Europa League I hate Emery and still hope he leaves in the summer. Done with his tactics and boring football. We played entertaining football a handful of times this year and it’s not good enough. Champions League you're having a laugh.

Well, if he does leave, let's review where we are at the end of next season, shall we. I do wonder whether we deserve an elite manager tbh.
04 May 2026 01:38:54
Elite managers don’t roll over like he did today. Elite managers don’t waste 100 million on the likes of Guessand, Maatsen, Malen, Abraham. Any elite manager I can think of would have changed it after 30 mins today.
The football we are playing most weeks is pure tripe, and if Spurs and Chelsea weren’t so bad we wouldn’t have a sniff of the Champions League. Same last year and the year before, United and Spurs so bad. I see people online trying to say he threw the game so Forrest would have to go full strength tomorrow, but I don’t believe it for a minute.
If he did, why would he risk Martinez with his injury problems this season, or Youri, or Cash, or Rogers? He thought we could defend a 0-0 and sneak a goal, like he’s been trying to do all season. Our football has gone down the toilet. 1 of the worst teams in the league to watch. We are a disgrace and only in the position we are because other teams are as bad as us.

Google elite football managers and see whose name appears on the list.

Whack, Malen wasn't a waste of money. Selling him was a huge mistake. Check his stats.
As for the rest, pathetic bunch of strikers.
LotM, you cannot seriously defend what we've seen over the last 3 games.

I accept fully our performances over the last month or so have been poor, but they were at the start of the season and we then went on that fantastic run. Who's to say we won't again? So, throwing arguably the most talented coach we have had in the modern era under a bus is just plain nuts. If you look at the guy's record in the round, he took a club who were flirting with relegation to one that has got to a European semi final twice, as well as the quarter final of the Champions League, that against the backdrop of PSR restrictions.
He has improved every player in the squad, and this season he has had to deal with a centre forward whose performances have dipped, and an injury list that took out our first choice midfield for a couple of months. Unai has plenty of credit in the bank in my view.

Unai used to be elite but isnt no more. He won a trophy in 9years. If we dont win Europa, I hope he steps dwn or owners decide to get a manager that can take us further and play attacking football, and that can find gems in the transfer window. The money Unai has had, his signings havent been great. Maatsen not guessand awfull. Tammy, average. Allyson hardly played. Pau Torres is decent CB. Diaby was hit n miss. Malen is good player, deserved more starts but was better wide.
Nedelcovic never got given a chance, same with Barrencha. Illing Jnr hasnt been given a chance aswell. Rodgers was a good signing and yt, and Id say Pau aswell. You look at the age of our squad aswell, future isnt bright. Unai cant nurture young talent, he only likes to sign players for the now mainly. Im not having it that none of our players from Academy, Reserves or U18s rnt good enough. Other managers in the league play there youth, we used to but dont no more. Its so annoying.

He won Europa in 21-22, Jonny, but I do agree with a good bit of what you said. Yesterday was embarrassing. I thought the Wolves game was a new low, but this one takes the biscuit.
Hoddle was raving about how good Spurs played, but they didn't really. They started well, but they didn't create chance after chance for the whole game. Even if we had made more changes after 60 mins we'd of gotten more goals. Their keeper is pants, first shot on target was a goal.
The only thing that game yesterday did was breed confidence into a team we should be relegating and getting rid of them as competition for Europe and for signings. It also drained the confidence out of our guys, and it has split the supporters. Paying fans deserved more than that. Obviously, I watched it on tv, and you could see nothing but anger and disappointment on the faces of anyone the camera focused on.
