LOL.he had one shot on goal straight at the keeper,did nothing else until he was subbed,watkins scored a goal at least Bailey played him through but Buendia was the best player in the first half? First half he was the only one linking play and keeping the ball in that attacking 3rd. Watkins constantly gave it away and Bailey was non existent. Buendia wasn't great but it was a shit half of football and for me, him and Martinez were the only 2 to come out with any credit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anything11 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 On 06/08/2022 at 13:33, Anything11 said: Love Emi and believe we should work out a way for him to start most games. However, I can remember many instances when he has started games and not been all that great. Out of position and giving the ball away quite a lot. So I can understand some reservations from the coaching staff about him starting. And today we learnt why he doesn't start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 That brief period in the first 10 minutes where we actually looked good and did all of our good work...he was at the heart of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the rope for Emi is unfairly taut for whatever reason. He was our best outfield player today, if he shouldn't start, nobody should. Everything you listed there about him (which he didn't do much of today) applies to Coutinho, but x2. Since it's apparently a straight shot between the 2 of them, I know who I'd pick (ideally I wouldn't need to pick of course). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Was he fouled for a pen? I only saw it in passing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 He deserves to start but feel he’s better when coming of the bench, looks better against tiring teams. Either way I’m not sure he has the stamina and consistency to carry this team like Grealish did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) No forward player can do anything when we are schooled in midfield. Forwards need supply. Edited August 21, 2022 by Mr_Dogg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 He's always looking to get on the ball and progress it. The only one between the midfield and attack trying to link it all up with quick passing and movement, trying to keep the tempo going. I'm just not sure anyone is on his wave length, we started with a decent pace yesterday but within about 15 mins it was as normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Well if nothing else, Buendia's performance yesterday should quieten down the "Buendia should start every game and everything will be great" crowd. Here's a newsflash guys, maybe, just maybe the reason Buendia and Coutinho cant hit consistent top form isnt because of them, maybe there's an underlying root cause and we all know what it is.

MWARLEY2 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 The ball at 5 mins to Archer. The ball for Leon to score. He is so creative . Chance machine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 He reminds me of the #10's from the 90's/00's. Always trying to thread the ball through to the strikers to go through on goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 If 2 players who most agree have a decent level of talent both stink when they start the game in a certain system then maybe it's not the player who is at fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
