Best way to measure level of Manager is to see did and how much he overachieved with his teams. Benitez did it so many times. Valencia, Liverpool, Newcastle... That's something Guardiola never did. He always did expected or failed. For me Benitez is one of the best managers out there... He would make Arsenal much more solid. 

totally agree, I have always though Rafa was a great manager and he worries me at Arse

Former Arsenal captain CLEARED to take over at The Emirates as current club won’t stand in his way

https://www.caughtoffside.com/2019/11/30/former-arsenal-captain-cleared-to-take-over-at-the-emirates-as-current-club-wont-stand-in-his-way/

The only real surprise about Unai Emery’s sacking was the fact that he almost made it to December.

Freddie Ljungberg has been given the gig for now, but it’s not completely clear how long he will get. There’s a good feeling around the club now that Emery has left, so it’s crucial that the board keep everyone on side and make a popular appointment.

Realistically that probably means we will see someone heavily connected with the club get the job, unless they can find a truly elite name who would be interested in taking over. Max Allegri has been touted, but there’s nothing to suggest he’s willing to accept it.

Another name who keeps popping up and could make sense is Mikel Arteta. He’s a former Arsenal captain who was well liked by the fans and he’s also very highly rated as a coach. If any fans are hoping that Arteta is the man to take over then this could come as some good news.

The Sun has reported that although Pep Guardiola desperately wants to keep his assistant at Man City, he won’t stand in his way if he does want to leave and become a manager in his own right.

We’ve seen in the past that great assistant managers don’t always make it when they step up for the main job. There’s no guarantee that Arteta will become the next Guardiola, but he’s certainly had a fantastic education when it comes to coaching and management.

Urghh come on city 

at some point we have to start being against Shitty every game, as they, Leicester and us are battling for 2nd

although Fabinho going down for the dippers for a month is HUGE, he might miss 10 or 11 games

he has been (arguably, if not him then van Dijk) the best player in the EPL so far 

and Victimpool has an INSANE amount of games coming up, so they will miss him badly

2 games basically on the same day due to time difference (the games are 22 hours apart, one in Asia with the FWCC, the first one is at Aston Villa) so they have to split their squad

13 games in 39 days (one EPL game is postponed though as they would have had to play 3 games in 4 days with half the squad having 2 travel days (to Asia and back on top of that), lolol)

Don't think just be them lol. Its the media love that comes with it! Know not their fault but it's all unbearable. 

They deserve it but not in December come on! Unfortunately they're miles above. If Liverpool win that's 11 point gap with 1 draw and 0 losses...

Haha I would if Liverpool have dropped more then a point so far. Liverpool win today and that's 11 point clear. I can't see them losing 4 and no one else dropping anything. Be 5 games lost for us to catch up. Be funny but nahhh. 

It's all about 2nd and below now.
