Thanks. I only saw the comments about the extra GK. I still think it would be more beneficial to have a youth player there. Surely Kesler-Hayden could be a useful addition?
A very good game yesterday. I'd say our best 0-90 mins performance under Emery so far. We had a lot of the ball and controlled the game very well (especially the first half). I'm looking forward to seeing how we build on it.
Does anyone know why the extra GK was put on the bench instead of an outfield player?
I must admit, I'm not a fan of Emery. His style of play is too negative for my liking. From his comments when he joined I was expecting us to control games more. He's got points on the board but so did Gerrard when he first arrived. I also thought he'd have given a chance to some of the youngsters. I don't think he's given any a chance and we've played two cup games while he's been here.
I'd be happy with André Villas-Boas if he's interested. He's previously managed Sanson and Kamara, decent football, PL experience, gives youth a chance and he has a fancy foreign name that sounds similar to 'Villa's boss'.
Ruben Amorim is apparently a young, pragmatic coach with simple instructions, that wants all to 'buy in' to a winning mentality. What could possibly go wrong?
