Emery got some things wrong with the set up yesterday, but wasn’t afraid to change them. Cash in midfield was obviously a disaster (brought about by injuries and his good cameo against Spurs) and the full backs’ attacking threat was pretty minimal.
Taking Digne off was a bold move: risks compromising his relationship with the player but underlining that the manager won’t put up with such below par performances.
For yesterday night’s disappointment, I think it’ll help the manager get to know his team. It prob confirmed what he already knew re: our weaknesses.
Sick of full blacks playing these f-ing crosses where they just slash their foot at it and hope someone is there to make them look like a genius. With all the data in modern football, you’d think they would know that happy slashing isn’t a good approach.
in times like these, I start small talk at matches and sometimes, just sometimes, we score while I do so.
So…I’m thinking about selling my car. Too many rattles. Any ideas for a good midsized car? 4 years old, under £20k?
