Jamie Carragher: You can make an argument that Unai Emery is the third best manager in this Premier League. If you back over the last 12 months since he came in at Villa, if you are talking about Man Utd, Aston Villa are a better coached team than United. There is no doubt about that.
Arteta won a trophy, Emery did not. Arsenal got worse under Emery during his time there, and played some of the least inspiring worst football I’ve seen from an Arsenal team and we had zero idea of the style he was trying to play.
Emery is a great coach, but for whatever reason it just didn’t work at Arsenal. I always laugh when outsiders try to tell Arsenal fans about Emery’s time in North London.
It has nothing to do with what was being built around. The football was absolute dire. Even in the season when he had a huge unbeaten run, the xG and underlying numbers were atrocious.

We haven’t won anything since so that means he hasn’t lived up to his first months
🥱.
