I have a good feeling about this season.

I'm not sure what or why exactly ... but I have a good feeling.

Me too, and I did in the summer which as why the first few games were so jarring. We're still not at our peak, and that's a good thing, so even with no more incomings in January I think we'll see this team improve as the season goes on.

It's all about the midfield for me as I think we're up there with Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City as the teams with the best options in central midfield and that's why we're in the top 4 with them. This season more than ever games are decided in there and we regularly dominate teams. Emery has done an exceptional job of pushing them all higher than ever, Onana in particular was always talented but very raw and in the last year he's become much more rounded player.

Onana tried to play a quick ball over the top early in the 2nd half which was a waste. Emery went nuts at him, he didn't do it again.

It must be the umpteenth time I've said it but it bears repeating. He's the best manager in the world.
I mentioned to my son, he went fooking nuts.
When he threw his coat down I got more excited than when we scored, it was a proper, lets fooking have it, moment.
He still looks a bit tired and ill though

He’s run down, hence the cold sore. I get them myself for the same reason but I’m not currently the best manager in the world.

I've never had a cold sore nor a nosebleed. I might get the latter if Unai keeps us in the top three in the coming months.

Vote for manager of the month. Options are Arteta, Emery, Guardiola, Hurzeler, Maresca or Silva.

Came here to also add this link.

Good summary of the state of things, I think.
