In particular playing out from the back which I think has been poor under Cutler.

They’ve spent their whole careers seeing coaches come and go and know the same can happen to them. He’ll be fine, he might be sad to see a mate change jobs but they are used to it.

Unless they are on bad terms After Emery was sacked at Arsenal in November 2019, Martinez was one of the few Arsenal players to issue a statement of his own. The shot-stopper even apologised in light of the decision, writing: "Thank you @UnaiEmery_ and Javi [assistant coach] I’m sorry we let you down, it’s our fault for not performing the right way, I’m sure we will meet again." Sounds like they are on good terms, I reckon Emi will be made captain at some point. Edited November 2, 2022 by duke313 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Argentine FA wanted him released early head of the World Cup so he could play a friendly. They're like panto villains at that FA, everything they do is so unreasonable and makes them so deeply unlikeable as an organisation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head injuries are extremely serious, and it really makes my blood boil when people don't take them seriously. They can be life-altering injuries & I still am disappointed with our medical staff. You just can't take any chances today with head injuries. I had a concussion from a bad tackle in Rugby, weren't too bad, just a sore head for a couple of days, felt a bit disorientated and sick. Played again the following week, got another bang to the head (nothing major) but carried on playing, felt fine. I collapsed walking to the car after the game, ended up spending 3 days in Worcester Royal. The doctor explained to me, a concussion itself isn't necessarily devastating, but a concussion on top of a concussion can have life changing repercussions. For Emi, if he had a concussion he should be absolutely nowhere near that pitch on Sunday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 To be fair, it's not like a goalkeeper experiences fatigue like outfield players do. Sure, a week's break would help, but I don't think it's a game changer for a goalkeeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physical fatigue, unlikely but as a human being they're all susceptible, like the rest of us, to mental fatigue. Self doubt, stress, lack of confidence....

If Emi's following the return to play concussion protocol, he's not permitted to take part in full contact practice until tomorrow, and that's assuming he didn't report any issues on his graduated return since Monday (protocol for the day after concussion is no activity at all).
