Not what I would have done with a GK personally especially with Olsen as No.2 but I'm not an elite coach. Just because you’re not an elite coach, doesn’t mean you can’t be right about team selection. It’s Martinez who last played 2 weeks ago, or Olsen. If Martinez is breathing, he should be playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I'd be more confident of getting something out this game if we had a scarecrow in goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality of goalkeeper is huge…wouldn’t mind if the drop off wasn’t so bad! That’s the issue. I think we all wouldn’t mind as much but that quality difference is scary and certainly could and might be the difference in the game. I hope that isn’t the case today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 4 minutes ago, Pinebro said: How can Martinez be 50 %? He is a goalkeeper ffs. He is hardly going to get fatigued. Mentally fatigued? Maybe, but considering his character I doubt it. Physically? No. Goalkeeper is probably the position where it’s most important to be 100% focused and Emi won’t be. The real issue here is that our backup is horrible and we should have registered a new backup keeper today, it’s Jan 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I think Emery has just made a bollocks decision but that’s me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macandally Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Get a grip, Emery showing there is no favouritism and picking on form/readiness. Not Gerrards playing the same team even when they are too ball bagged to tie their own laces 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, we aren’t elite coaches but a lot of us have watched football endlessly for decades and can spot obvious things despite how thick other fans think we are.

Its even more bizarre that romaro is playing and he has been back as long as emi has. Perhaps Romero looked after himself a bit better during the celebrations and EMI was dare I say a bit less professional ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) Emery seems the kind of manager who puts a hell of a lot of focus on training so I can see why just two sessions wouldn't have been enough even for Emi. The doommonger in me is a little concerned though. They would have put a hell of a lot of work in in the UAE, hence why Cash is probably also missing out.
