    I'm not saying they haven't, or that they have. I'm just wondering how you can make such a judgementat this point.
    The new man has addressed several weaknesses that have been apparent for a few years. We've not had a player like Torriera for a while now. He was at the centre of most of our build up play last night but equally impressive, was his cover for the defence.
    You cant also fail to acknowledge what he's done for the likes of Iwobi and Xhaka, by improving their effectiveness by about 200%.

    I realise its early days and the need to not get ahead of ourselves but the squad are playing with real purpose and appear to be far fitter under the new training management.

    He just needs to work on his press conference Spanglish and he'll cut quite the manager.

    Not to mention that results were getting worse under Wenger with no sign of change.

    You could add in that Emery has won a league within the past few years even if it was PSG in a one team league. I'd also point out that stating that our chances have improved significantly is far less controversial than saying that we will never win the league under Emery.

    Cause that bit is just nonsense.

    Of course there is always a chance, I'm being flippant.

    The fact he managed to lose the league with PSG is more remarkable than the fact he won it.

    So we are significantly more likely to win the league under Emery because.... Torreira.

    OK then.

    Spurs' stadium and Mourinho's meltdown are arguably the most important part of this change.

    Every team has a blip. Spurs are having theirs - being a decent team - that is.

    Mourinho, on the other hand, was wholly predictable.

    At least Emery is making decisions that the fans can see - picking players on form, hooking underperformers... and Torreira

    I think the two most pleasing aspects are the obvious impact he has had on some existing players (Iwobi for example) and the fact that the signings that the new structure has made so far appear to be pulling us in the right direction- at this point Guendouzi, Toerreira, the Greek lad and the new keeper are looking like good additions.

    Its a good start.
