But he’d be sacked within the year, he probably has a better chance of landing a bigger La liga job staying at Rayo.

Andoni Iraola being mentioned now, Rayo Vallecano manager and has them 5th in la liga. Seems that everyone now wants Basque Country managers .

Hope they go back for David O’Leary

The drop off in training facilities must be a shock, and he’s reunited with Henri Lansbury at the end there.

I mean his passing accuracy is amongst the best each game , he had the highest passing accuracy of all the players Saturday (96%) and he and Ashely Young were the only players to win all of their ground duels, and once again he wasn’t dribbled past. every other player were under 50% in ground duels won. Statistically he is one of the best central defenders in the league but obviously we can’t judge players on data alone. But to the point about playing RB he’s never really looked comfortable playing there but obviously what Emery requires right backs to do is different to what other managers have wanted here in the past.

Yup premier league are gutless if it were a newly promoted club they’d probably make an example

Out of interest who do you think is near it?

We all should know by now that Football doesn’t exist pre 1992

he isn’t in the “elite” bracket the only players in the elite out and out strikers brackets are Lewandowski, Benzema, Haaland and Kane . Ollie only has 5 less goals overall in the premier league than Mitrovic and that’s in 30 less games. Heck Danny Ings only has 68 goals in 190 appearances. I would say Ollie is on course to being our all time record goal scorer.

To Probably play him at left back like they do Camavinga

I don’t think there are any outside those 3 ,Emery has been successful at multiple clubs with worse defenders than Mings.

That’s why we signed him to provide width on the left , his heat map showed that he spent the majority of his time in the final third.

Name one or two other than Pau Torres, Thiago Silva and Marquinhos.

Replace that Haaland with and elite striker.

Funny how their fans hate City and Chelsea for buying success and went on and on about building a team in a sustainable way through the Coutinho money, but now they can’t wait for the Saudi or Qatari investors to arrive.

Whilst repeating the words Gnonto

Sevilla have been pretty woeful to but yes all 3 goals were superb

this is shocking it’s like listening to 4 lads down the pup

yup and they won’t be missed either

Only thing is if Kamara gets out there he instantly takes 3 players out of the game. The whole standing on the ball thing is an attempt bait the press and drag players out of position. But I agree sometimes he needs to mix it up.

Even Xavi at Barcelona is copying Emery tactics with 4 midfielders and a winger up front with Lewandowski. Man’s revolutionary

Yes with our 6 2 2 formation. I’m looking forward to both City and Arsenal, it will be interesting to see how we fare.

Could do with Mcginn back for this one.

This 100% Young would have tackled Barnes. We played some good stuff but we lacked leadership after Young went off, Mcginn is also a big miss.
