PaulC Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 He made the mistake because hes trying so hard to impress. He must be very annoyung to play against. Thought he was our best plater by miles tonight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted May 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2022 Can forgive the over-aggression when he works hard and creates like he does. Genuinely think he’s a special talent. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I’d love to ask Buendia about his goal, he went to ground in the centre circle and kinda laid there for a few seconds while we had the ball but nobody put it out of play so the Burnley players seemed to assume he was injured and they collectively forgot about him. He then stood up and sprinted into the box and got on the end of McGinns pass and scored. Pre planned move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally like them both and happy with whatever manager decides. Anyway hopefully Emi can redeem himself this game. Wouldnt that mean Coutinho has tracked back into our box? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it difficult to believe that faking an injury on the halfway line and then sprinting into the box to smash a volley in is something practised in training. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 See I feel it’s the opposite. It was just a really odd thing to do, literally just went down on his own in the centre circle two minutes into the second half then stood up and absolutely booked it into the area with no defenders anywhere near him. It’s precisely the sort of pre planned move that would come about at Bodymoor. How do you arrive late in the box unmarked? Make the guy who is supposed to pick you up forget you exist.

If it was a pre planned move there would surely be a beaming smile from Emi, and he'd have been straight over to McGinn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 He’s a good player and should be starting for us for sure, but I don’t think he’s as good as some make out on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 What are you guys going on about. That goal and "injury" was clearly not practiced. If it was, Buendia would have gone to trip over, breaking both legs and an arm, while the ball ended up at the sty..... our planned stuff seems to he comically bad in terms of outcome..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Emi2 is a certified baller. He’ll learn from that mistake. His pressing game defensively also makes a big difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His pressing game defensively also makes a big difference. Less aggressive in our own box would be good, but he also has to stop playing no-look passes and backheels around the halfway line or in our half. High risk/reward is great but only when you're further up the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I think he's the better option from the 10s to drop deep into midfield when we have possession. He protects the ball very well like Luiz and has a very good range of passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he doesn’t need to over complicate it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MellbergsBeard Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Too many of our players are slipping on the pitch this season, hope it’s sorted for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 He's better than Coutinho, not a skillful but he offers more and has a bigger impact on the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 That cheeky flick he did down the line was absolute filth. Traoré levels. Throw in his pressing, his vision, his determination and creativity and we have an absolute gem. Something about Emi's being good for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
