There&#8217;s a lot of enthusiasm when we went on a 22-game unbeaten run. At the time I predicted and I said and you agreed with me, but it wasn&#8217;t a true reflection of how we were playing. In other words, it was a lucky run. I mean we could have lost five six seven of those games and should have lost five six seven of those games. But we didn&#8217;t and people were fooled by it. But the underlying metrics told us what would eventually happen because everything has to return to the mean. You know this. We couldn\u2019t expect Aubamayeng to score every time he shot at goal which he did. It was something like eight shots, eight goals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Standard of play was poor<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The general standard of play was poor. I can\u2019t say any better than that. I didn&#8217;t see anything that enthused me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Kroenke hasn\u2019t changed<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He is not doing anything more or anything less than is said on the \u201ctin\u201d. Its self-sufficiency and he&#8217;s not going to subsidize us. Now all of a sudden there is going to be a big huge swathe of protest against Kroenke for doing exactly the same thing that he&#8217;s always done and always said he was going to do. He has not changed his position. He is not all of a sudden saying I&#8217;m going to take money out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Clowns in management<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The two absolute clowns who have been brought in to run the club, by default, basically. One of them is now the CEO. He wasn\u2019t brought in to be CEO but made CEO when Ivan left. And the other one is a glorified bean counter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Spin by the PR department<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They even try to make us believe that Aaron Ramsey wanted to leave. That the club had done most it could and it was Ramsey who messed us about. \u00a0But it was PR spin. It turned out to be a lot of bollocks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Emery is awful<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From what I&#8217;ve seen of him, it&#8217;s awful. He hasn\u2019t got a system. He hasn&#8217;t got a philosophy. We haven&#8217;t got a brand. If I was the owner of Arsenal Football Club I would be absolutely ripping my hair out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Style of play<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Emery is a chameleon, the very concept makes my teeth grind. You don&#8217;t have a fixed style of play. I can&#8217;t think, I have wracked my brains, I can&#8217;t think of one good team in the history of football that you couldn&#8217;t identify the style of play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out the podcast for the uncensored opinions of Blackburn George.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen to &#8220;Lessons from a Disappointing 2018-2019&#8221; on Spreaker.
