Popular Post Tom13 Posted April 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2023 Posted it in the match thread, but the Moreno-Luiz-Buendia linkup is a joy to behold at times. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 3 minutes ago, IrishVilla10 said: He doesn’t look as piss weak on the ball as time goes by under Emery . Physically stronger ? Hardly. He just looks so much more tactically aware, picking the ball up in space and not trying to do too much. Think the price tag weighed on him a bit and Smith and Gerrard had neither the man management or tactical acumen to take that pressure off him. He’s improved no end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few players who spot passes into dangerous areas as quickly as Emi. And he's great at weighting them as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Finds space so well. Good performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame that Barnes scored the equalizer and they decided to sit in their own half. Think Buendia was having a field day playing that system before we switched to the 3box3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 so important to how we play. i think he's often better at spotting passes than he is at playing them, but he's undroppable for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Buendia and Moreno look to be building a great relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Imagine if you got into a fight with Buendia (never had a fight in my life btw)...but...pretty short, fairly high pitched voice...yeah I can take this guy...Jesus he's biting my leg! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Was my motm. Thought most of our good play came through him. Some nice link up play with moreno and a great assist. Nice to see watkins finish off one of those great passes from buendia. Probably should have been his 3rd or 4th assist of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Skruff Posted April 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2023 He's so important. He's basically the flipswitch where we break from soaking up pressure to sprining an attack. Either by quick 1-2 passing deep in our own half that beats the press, or by his quick decisive passing. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets into areas between our midfield and attack and, when we’re under pressure, defence and midfield. He’s at his best when he’s moving and offering an outlet to his teammates. Moreno def seems like he’s on the same wavelength. Plus, Moreno bombing on gives Emi additional space to wander into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 It really did look like a handball before his pass to Watkins, even on the replay. I was certain it was going to be ruled out by VAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good observation - his vision is excellent and is the foundation for those amazing through balls he can play, but then he'll misplace a fairly simple pass sometimes.

Philosopher Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Was awful against Chelsea, was good last night. I like Buendia, he's a good player, but he isn't a top player. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was at his lightweight, giving the ball away best / worst against Chelsea. Had a good game last night though. I like him, he works hard, plays with a good intensity, but he is slow, weak, and not a particularly good dribbler. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 4 goals and 2 assists under Emery (crossbar shot followed in by Watkins in 4-2 Leicester loss should be counted as not touched by another. Given as assist in FPL) and should have several more assists but for finishing from teammates and yet some muppets on here still slag him off. Absolute joke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
