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.
What has Arteta achieved that the others in that list haven’t? Finishing second once in a league where United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham all had a terrible year?
I mean tangibly, it’s just the FA Cup. Intangibly he’s transformed Arsenal into a real title contender against THIS city team. Only Klopp has managed to do that in the last 5 or so seasons.
Fair take to put Arteta in the B tier as an Arsenal Fan. IMO only a premier league title separates him from them.

That and Arteta not having more than one good finish in the premier league. He’s got miles to go before being considered in the Pep klopp tier.
