ChesterDad Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Its’s inevitable he will leave - just when is the bigger question, if we are successful no doubt this will be sooner, than what we want. We are very lucky to have him, the last time I felt such an affinity to a manager, was possibly Big Ron and Deano Paul Lambert really excited me, when he came in - sadly we know how this ended. I think we just have to enjoy the moment for what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Field Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I wonder if he has ever experienced a more embarrassing performance in his managerial career. Absolute pathetic performance today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, tonight was very disappointing. Yeah " chuck money at it " shouldn't be the answer... but it's clear we are.lacking quality depth as well.

Whilst true, I do think if you make too many changes you're asking for trouble as no matter the quality of the players the team will look disjointed. I'd rather start with close to our strongest team and then swap in the squad players later in the game rather than the other way round. I'm not too worried, as I still think we'll get out of the group, but Unai does need to make sure there is a well drilled team out on the pitch, rather than a bunch of strangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't good enough to play. Clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) I’m backing Emery on the rotation. We have 5 more games with 3 at home to get it right. I really want us to beat Chelsea more then I wanted us to win this and half the team playing less minutes gives us a much better chance of doing this.

Risso Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 9 minutes ago, picicata said: Why bother coming onto a forum to discuss things if you're going to throw your toys out the pram if people disagree with you? Emery is fantastic manager, I'm very happy we have him and he has been nearly perfect since he joined us but tonight he dropped a bollock and isn't above criticism That's where I am too. He's been brilliant, but the loss of Mings has really damaged him and away from home he hasn't really come close to getting it right yet. He will of course, but tonight was very poor.

JoshVilla Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I think Emery will have learned a lot tonight. The issue is, we were relying on our entire squad to see us through what is (hopefully) going to be a very busy schedule. Some of the players tonight just looked like they didn't want to be there, which is a real kick in the teeth when we were all buzzing for what was our first competitive fixture in Europe for over a decade (Yes, Hibs was Europe but I'm talking an actual competitive game on the continent). The 2 changes in defence was a really odd decision, but I'm sure Emery will feel that his faith in that back 4 was misplaced and we'll go for a more settled defence in the next one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero7 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 He got it wrong today and badly, also the subs (chambers especially) were too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Emery clearly hasn’t learned much because he’s doing the same thing in away games and we’re getting played through with ease. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
