Poor team play all around and I don’t see why all the fuss about Maintland-Niles, he is too shy, out midfield didn’t have that killer pass in them, xhaka whay you still in the team.
Oh well next week chelsea, who can’t look forward for such a match
Lets see how we respond yo yhis awful display.

The 3 at the back is killing us. We're playing 3 centre backs and all of them don't want to tackle. I'm not in any way panicking but I don't think Emery's 2 year contract will be extended.

Maitland-Niles is being played out of position. He's a central midfielder and has been promising when played there. By putting him at RWB we're just putting a square peg in a round hole. No idea why we are running with this odd 3-4-3 then somehow expecting Guendouzi and Xhaka to protect the back 3. Emery's tactics have baffled me recently.

{Ed0333's Note - his tactics are baffling it’s surprising because I think he’s a competent coach. Hopefully after a proper summer of purchases he can show what he’s made of. I’ll reserve judgement till then

I agree Ed I loved emery at seville and was hoping he would be like that with us but so far it's like having a younger wenger.

{Ed0333's Note - there’s a dearth off managers out there that can take a club by the scruff of the neck and build a dynasty let alone win titles and honors. If indeed Emery is a dud it remains to be seen but the guy needs to be given time to recruit his own players and see what he’s capable off.

I'd give him 3 seasons before I judge that should be enough time to change the structure and players of the team.

Agree Ed0333, I mentioned at the beginning of the season I'd give him a year before asking any questions, but that frustration boiled over a bit the other day.

{Ed0333's Note - I understand mate but when did we become so friggin impatient? How do you expect Emery to succeed when he has someone else’s players on the whole. Maybe he is a lemon but maybe he’s the messiah ONLY time will tell fella.
