Well we were a 3rd-4th placed team for much of that period, but I'll try not to split hairs.

Is it Emery's fault? Of course not. He inherited what he inherited.

Is Emery the kind of man who can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear? Personally I see absolutely no evidence in his past, or with his limited time at Arsenal that he is.

Of course we will give him more time, but I am quite concerned that he's been brought in to keep us in 6th and make a couple of runs at the cups. I see no evidence in his past to suggest he is capable of more in a far more difficult league than he's ever managed in.

I just need to re-set my aspirations to match my expectations and all will be good.
