Sack him and it's costing the club over £40m with him Damian and Monchi following. Can't see it happening all season tbh. If it did we're still left with a team of players who have lost their eyes.

Only a fucking idiot would sack him.

He needs to fucking storm off though and horse his approach to this season in the fucking river outside.

I can't believe some of these comments. Maybe O'Leary was right...
Absolutely. Know I’ve questioned circumstances which he might go, but talk of getting rid at this stage is utterly ridiculous.

To be clear, I wouldn't want to get rid of him.

But it's naïve to think if this goes on for much longer Nas won't act.

Best manager we've had in 30 years and there are idiots online saying sack him. Jesus christ it's unbelievable.

I wonder if the players have zoned out?

We know he is incredibly intense, with loads of analysis.

It's a collective blame - the manager needs to get the best out of the players - and the players need (should) be working their hardest for the manager. Not sure personally where the blame lies. We need to sort out tempo and movement - do that, and we'll be fine.

For someone as usually magnanimous as Emery storming off before the final whistle is a very telling sign that the cracks are much larger than we might be aware. He’s never done that. He’s always gracious however a game ends. It’s poor form and I can’t imagine what the walls have borne witness to in that changing room.

Hes not getting sacked.  Win the next 3 games (all at home) and things will look very different.

If I'd have had a bad a day at work as he has, I'd be in the bounce.

It prob isn't a case (yet) of the players playing to get him the tin tack.

You can see how happy some of them were when we defended well against Everton last week. And Konsa's reaction to his block in the first half.

But when it's been made clear to some of our better players that - rather than being central to our plans - we're actually OK with seeing them move on, it's difficult to get that same buy in and dedication that characterised the first two years of his tenure.

For what his system and style of play usually demands, even a small, unintentional (if I am being generous) reduction in effort screws us.

It means scoring at least 1 goal in each of those games and not conceding if we only score once. Which do you have confidence in happening?

People seem to forget that it is the managers responsibilty to get the players playing for him.
If they are sulking drop them and get players in who want to play for him and AV!

Unai has to stop picking players who are so blantantly out of form and take a step back and look at what has brought him so much success in the past and change his current thinking!

No way am I advocating for Unai to be sacked but everything is under his control and only he can change it, ultimately he will be judged on these decisions!

We don’t look like we can win 1 let alone 3. What happens if he loses the next 3?
We know what this manager can do, whatever he / they need to do to get us back, then do it.

It will always land at the Managers door regardless of how bad the players are, I don't think we should be contemplating a change but picking players so obviously out of form doesn't help his case.
