He’ll work on it I’m sure. He knows exactly what his best defence is. Problem is, half of them are out injured. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When does that sort of performance ever go down with the fans and the players that have come on only to be subbed off again? Would have expected that at the tail end of Smiths time in charge or Gerrards. Not under Emery. Managers make mistakes, the best ones less so but it happens. We are very lucky to have him. Probably the biggest name manager we’ve ever had in modern times ? If he felt the need to take him off I’m glad he did rather than think bloody hell I can’t take him off he came on as a sub. The progress under him cannot be doubted . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can half guess what he's trying to say but it's so frustrating. Yeah it's more of an issue after a bad performance because I want a clear explanation from him that he knows what went wrong.

david-avfc Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 First significant criticisms of Emery today from me. Thought we were incredibly naive in the way we set up against Newcastle, thought maybe it's a one-off and of course mitigating circumstances due to injuries, but to repeat exactly the same mistakes again today is really disappointing. You can't go up to Liverpool and be so open, a manager of Unai's quality shouldn't allow it to happen. I just hope this isn't a blind spot for him, he obviously wants to stick to his principles but against top opposition sometimes you need to be more pragmatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it wasn’t his plan to play him in lieu of Mings, but to play him as an accompaniment. Similar to last season when we lost out on seeing Mings and Carlos as the primary pair. Thankfully Mings and Konsa developed into a formidable pair, hopefully the same happens as the season progresses with Pau. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just read them and they seem to be pretty clear to me. He says the first half was key, we were weak early on and at 2-0 we had a couple of good chances but the third killed us. We had some circumstances out of our control like the injury to Carlos and some that were out fault, they're a good team and he was excited to test against them but we failed. Seems pretty fair to me. Edited September 3, 2023 by sharkyvilla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was Collymore who said it takes about 7 league games to make a a good determination on the squad readiness. Similar to the growing pains Arsenal are having with their new squad, Unai needs to figure out his best XI. Cash at RM I think is symbolic over his indecision right now. Works in a pinch but Cash should not regularly be staring at RM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digavilla Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 My only complaint is he did not a signed Buendia replacement. The player that links between the midfield and attack. This is a essential , the Bruno/ Odegaad/KDB position in a team. The last pre season game against Newcastle clearly demonstrate the importance ( Buendia scored 2 and 1 assist for Watkin ). Knowly Coutinho is not durable he should have signed another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Probably the first time I’ve been disappointed with Emery. Would have thought we would have played a bit more conservatively in these games after the Newcastle debacle. But then again the poor start really **** the game plan up. Lots of work for him in the next few weeks in finding the right blend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 He used the word "weak" about our defending a few times in his post match interview. Good to know he sees it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I liked his BBC interview, and understood it. Never needed to learn Spanish either. Like how he said " We need to be calm " with this result and consider some of the circumstances etc. Also, as someone else mentioned, repeated that we were weak in defense. Fully expect him to try his best to address this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) International break may have come at a good time for us. If I was Unai... i'd be giving all our called up players " light injuries " which rule them out for their countries, but not for the club. lol More time on the training ground. JJ and Moreno should hopefully be back as well? Edited September 3, 2023 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just fired a manager who spoke gibberish half the time. I could never make out what Steven was getting at half the time. Unai is fine. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
