Universially happy, it seems. I won’t claim to be a La Liga expert, but I follow it a bit and he’s done an excellent job with the Yellow Submarines (just for you @bickster.) More importantly, I exchanged some tweets with a guy who does PL commentary in Norway and also used to do La Liga games for years and happens to be a massive Villareal fan. He had nothing but praise for Emery. Edited October 24, 2022 by El Zen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Will be interesting to hear what backroom team he’s bringing with him. Hopefully a key attacking role for Danks somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Will certainly get support from the fans, as every manager has, but probably get a bit more time than others given his record. I wasn't convinced with Villarreal when I watched them in Europe but maybe they are punching a bit at that level and have to manage games a bit better. Not a fan of 4-4-2 but he will have tactical flexibility with this squad and he used different systems at other clubs, as long as he stays away from a narrow 4-3-3 we should see improvements. I watched a quick video of him messing with a tactics board talking about how he beat Liverpool in 2016. Double pivot, switching plays, overload and nothing about collectively and individually, it's a good start. This is the step up we should have taken from Smith and even if this fails, you can say it was a good appointment at the time. Lets try and forget the last year of nonsense.

My positivity is for this is high, based on what others say. I’m probably ignorant. I mean every hiring will be a gamble as to whether or not it’ll work out. There’s nothing wrong with be questioning it. But I feel like if you ask people, majority would consider him one of the top 20 managers in the world. He plays exciting football, he’s won a lot throughout his managerial career and from things I’ve read it seems like this Villarreal team is the type of team he was hoping to build at Arsenal. I think that bodes well for us as we will give him every resource available to construct the team as he sees fit. Plus already have the base for the style he likes to play. Everything points to this being a brilliant signing. Let’s just hope it does turn out that way, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMelvillan Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 So Danks will have a 50% win rate managerial career at worst. Not bad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Moyes after Fergie - if he had been given more time, who knows... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WHY Posted October 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2022 He failed at Arsenal apparently, he had a 55% win rate, currently better than Arteta’s and only slightly worse than Wenger who had 57%. Granted Wengers was over a longer period. Oh and he got them to a European final. I will have some of that failure at Villa Park. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
