Seen this on wiki ‘The following day, Torres revealed in an interview that he had "fallen into a bottomless well", and had worked with a psychologist during his form slump. The second part of the 2022–23 season saw a fair amount of consistency from the 23-year-old. So you’re concerned by the fact he had an issue and sort out help from a psychologist and improved - ok 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT - it's those players that are playing at that level. Them under-performing previously could be just as likely down to the previous managers' lack of ability. Gerrard coaching this lot was like Mr Blobby driving a Formula 1 car. You couldn't blame the car for not winning any races. Many of the same players were pretty inconsistent under Smith. Some months we'd be like an F1 car, other months we'd look like a Robin Reliant with a missing front wheel. I think the thing that has impressed me the most is that Emery's managed to find a much higher level of consistency than they've shown as a group before. He's also adding absolute quality components into key areas of our F1 car to make it even more efficient. We're getting close but during our pre-season testing shake-downs I think we'll find another couple of upgrade packages being added ahead of the season opener. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins was way off the pace today too tbf. Harsh to judge Archer when the whole intensity had dropped with all the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beauty of the forum where we have a discussion and put mature points across. You're concerned that someone who acknowledged they were having mental health difficulties sought help. Others have stated that's a, to be polite, alternative view point. He should be applauded not castigated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Interesting that bit of a transfer rumour I got from the love of Paul Magrath, same guy has just posted on the post match show that media will start reporting on the incoming player in next 72 hrs .... should be interesting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Make Pies Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 In his post match interview today Emery said "I want to be competitive (in all four competitions) and we will need a lot of players". After seeing the drop off in preseason when our first teamers have been subbed off this may push him to bring more in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
