They were scored within the system Emery set up. Should we take away credit from Pep for what Haaland will end up scoring this season? Also, if it makes you feel any better, his Villarreal reached the semi-final of the champions league with their top goal-scorer only reaching 16 last year in all competitions. Same amount Ollie scored in his first season with us. Tbf Moreno missed like half the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Woody1000 Posted October 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2022 So from what I’ve read in the last 24 hours, he’s a defensive but attacking coach, who’s dull but warm, speaks well and also doesn’t speak well, he’s got a great tactical mind, but also overthinks, and his teams are tactically disciplined and also tactically ill disciplined. He’ll have us playing exciting, boring football. He’s perfect! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted October 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 25, 2022 1 hour ago, useless said: I don't get this idea that he's a defensive manager, in his two seasons at The Yellow Submarine they were top scorers in La Liga other than the two Madrid teams and Barcelona, in his full season at Arsenal only Liverpool and Man City scored more, Paris Saint-Germain scored 108 goals when he won the league with them, in his last season with Sevilla they were fifth top scorers in La Liga, season before they were third top scorers, and in his first season with them they were fourth top scorers. Haven't looked as far back as when he was with Valencia, but going back almost ten years his teams have always been amongst the highest scorers in the league. Totally agree. If anything, I worry (slightly) that he might not be defensive enough based on his records at Villarreal and Arsenal. An unmistakable theme in old critiques of Emery's management at Arsenal was that his defenses were leaky. Not saying I agree, but you find the complaints.

ferguson1 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Emery has four games to assess what he has here then get into a mini preseason. That World Cup period will be a crucial time to get his ideas across. Anything is possible still this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

British sports journalism subediting practices -- just the worst and most deceitful I've ever seen. WTF is the problem with subediting ethics these days on English papers? Are these outsourcing subediting to prisons? Edited October 25, 2022 by Marka Ragnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a proper, world class manager, have no doubts. However, I'm not going to expect miracles straight away, it's going to take the players a little while to get used to his methods, and for some of the ideas to be communicated effectively, but when they do we are going to be one extremely tactically flexible team. I can't wait to see what he can do with this squad of players, let alone with further investment. What an endearing and appealing quality… so rare these days, it’s refreshing.

Hank Scorpio Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 So according to Mr Evans at The Athletic we made approaches a few weeks ago. Purslow flew to Spain after the Brentford game and it all got concluded very quickly with Jorge Menses. So I am assuming Unai has watched and knows the team from afar and will come in with an idea of what he needs to do initially to improve things. His backroom staff is still being sorted.
