Agree he's got real technical ability and is a livewire but he also works hard. Will be an important part of the quadruple bid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told them Monchi would like a word after the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted July 30, 2023 Visiting Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2023 McGinn has been excellent 1st half but that high line worries me. Fantastic goal by Konsa. One to tell the grandchildren . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted July 30, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2023 We've been dominant and in the period where we looked sharp we scored goals - very much the better side in that half, just need to keep on it mentally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman22 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 What a second quarter. The goal from Konsa won’t get the praise it deserves but it’s world class. Power, speed, calmness and then the ability to finish! Absolutely brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 This was an Emery training lesson, give the opposition 2 goal lead and then see if we can come back and win….it was always the strategy! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Really entertaining game so far. Sloppy start but were a bit unfortunate to be 2 down after squandering good chances. Then since the drinks break it's been all us and we've played some lovely stuff and look a threat every time we get to the final third. Diaby is popping up all over the place, always making runs, a constant threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomC Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 First half impressions: Diaby: Fantastic player. And I was impressed with his pressing. He looked like another Watkins. Pau: Reminds me of when Moreno started. Needs time to adjust the PL. But you can see the quality at times. He'll come good. Cash: Anyone who thinks that he is out of favour with Unai and would be replaced needs to think again. Konsa: Make that Konsabauer. JPB: He's just about ready. He still could use a little more composure but that will come with experience. Sending him out on loan would probably dent his confidence. Give a him a regular string of 20-minute substitute appearances and he will grow in confidence. Kamara: Already said it, but...still a little off. McGinn: Is it just me or is his passing looking better this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Emery is playing chess with his teams. Our players look like they have time on the ball and are picking killer passes at will. Keep in mind: this is the second system he’s playing. Our players are in semester two of Emery University.
