First of all, Arsenal are top of the table. This being the Women's Super League. The Arsenal Men's team need to learn more about commitment, passion and how to defend as a team though.
I was sad when Unai Emery started to fail at Arsenal. He had after all overseen an amazing unbeaten run. But we lost Aaron Ramsey, a player that any team should be glad to have and a player who is going to be very hard to replace. And our defence was 'strengthened' by a player who is no longer able to make it into the Chelski first team. While we had bought Kieran Tierney, by the time he was fit enough to play for the first team, the confidence of our defence was destroyed. I am in favour of the policy of Unai Emery to play football from the back, but there is a time and a place for this and if opposition teams know that you are always going to do this, they will not try to defend against a long ball from defence and put the Arsenal defence under pressure.
I had high hopes for Freddie Ljungberg, an Arsenal legend, but sadly he has not had that good a start. I was dreading the game yesterday against West Ham as we started the game closer to being relegated than finishing in the top four. But we won, West Ham being so bad that they could not even beat us!
If he is not able to make the job, that no other manager seems to want, his, then I think that we should approach Chris Wilder from Sheffield United to be manager. He has risen through the leagues, and is able to ensure his teams can defend. And that is something that Arsenal needs to do.
