  1. I have a feeling he is the key man for our run in. 

    Not because he's our best player, but because an upturn in form will allow us to play a system Emery is comfortable with and helps us hide the injury/suspension crisis we currently have.

  2. As good as he was against Ajax, he was poor against West Ham. No doubt.

    The system didn't work - Emery realised that - but it shouldn't mask the fact he struggled to control the ball or get into the game at all really. 

    Shame.

  3. Just now, R.Bear said:

    We're so good at wasting time passing it amongst our back four when the oppo arent even bothering to close us down. We're world beaters at doing that.

    We do it and then give them a chance. It’s pathetic football tbh. I know it’s effective and I know why we do it, doesn’t mean I enjoy it.

    Rarely question him but Unai has got this one horribly wrong first half. 

    Hopefully it can be rectified in the second 

    He’s really flip flopping on the side and the system. He’s gone from a 3-5-2 to a 4-4-2, with different personnel across the board.

    He’s got this one wrong again.

  5. I’d have started Digne and Diaby in place of Moreno and Duran. 

    I actually think Rogers has shown some ability. Duran and Moreno have been garbage. Lenglet too.

    It’s a gift of a goal, but one we were desperate to give them with some of our sloppiness at the back. 

    I find it odd we pick a team and then don’t play a system to suit it.

  6. Slightly off topic a little, but I forgot to post after the game.

    I watched the game on TNT and there was a female commentator alongside Ian Darke and she was honestly one of the best commentators we’ve had on one of our games this season. She was knowledgeable, spoke about our injuries, clearly researched our playing style, spoke about the disruption to our back 4 and the effects of that on our high line etc. 

    I know it’s a bit of a hot topic at the moment, mainly due to that idiot Joey Barton, but whoever the lady was alongside Darke was really actually very good. They both were. Much better than having to listen to the nonsensical hyperbole from that moron Drury and whichever ex United/Liverpool player they’ve rolled out alongside him. 

    I dunno, I just think it was terrific commentary all night.

  7. He has something. It’s one big raw ball of energy at the moment but boy he has something.

    Wouldn’t be selling unless we really had to. 

    If all goes well and he avoids injury, he *could* become devestating.

  8. Hmmm. Good. I suppose?

    Bailey looks very good. Diaby looks sharper than he has recently. I think Rogers has shown glimpses too. 

    The Watkins injury will overshadow this result a little. Just doesn’t look like we can get through any match without losing a player to something at the moment. 

    Let’s just get the job done and hope Mr. Ironman is fit for Sunday.

    Really want a big half here from Diaby. He’s going to have to hit form if we want to finish in the top 5 this season with our injuries and suspensions.
