Summary

We went to Unai Emery's last game in charge of Arsenal to see just how bad things had got at the Emirates. It was about as bad as we expected, and this morning Emery was finally shown the exit door, leaving Arsenal legend Freddie Ljungberg in the dugout for the foreseeable future. We discuss the things he has to do to steady the ship, before talking about some managers that would be a perfect fit for Arsenal, and the players they should be looking to sign in January. It's back to the road then, as we rewind to last night and get the reaction from fans in North London about what went wrong for Emery, how they think Arsenal can move forwards, and what they want to see in their next manager.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1:00.9	Just insip it again from Arsenal.
1:03.1	Yeah, not great.
1:04.9	It would be worth noting that the Frankfurt goalkeeper made about four amazing saves.
1:09.7	On occasions like this, when things don't go your way and the narrative is piling against
1:14.0	you, it's just not going to happen for Unai Emory.
1:17.7	No matter what he tries, it all seems to conspire against him and tumble around him.
1:21.9	Dean is this the end?
1:23.0	I think ultimately, Unioy Emery's reign was masked really by that unbeaten run he went on.
1:30.0	That unbeaten run was one of the most false things we've seen in football.
1:34.1	Fair play, they got the results, but at the time, none of us were convinced that Arsenal were the real deal,
1:39.3	and I don't think even a lot of their fans were.
1:42.0	And since then, when the results stopped working out, the performances were bad and things
1:46.6	have just got worse and worse.
1:47.6	And you can tell from tonight how it hasn't even been toxic tonight, to be honest.
1:51.3	It's been very lethargic and resigned almost.
