He needs to be banished to Time Wasters until the end of the season. So disappointed for the fella.

The whole sound of summer packing its bags and preparing to leave town.

I hope you've got that copyrighted. He'll problem write a song with those lines. Now I have earworm of Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide sung by The bloody Commitments, he couldn't even give me the Martha and the Vandellas version.

Sorry, I thought I had posted that every time someone updates this thead, I get my hopes up that Emi Good-day is back. I didn't meant to perpetuate this false dawn. I don't wish it to be my last summer.

It's from this:


Eamonn and I like to quote Pulp lyrics at each other. It's our thing. Occasionally Suede too. We're a right laugh.

I thought it was a bit too good to be your work, Paddy. ;)

I still think we should send him off to Time Wasters. He had me searching for Emi news. Bad boy!

You're making me look bad and you're the one with the silly name! ;)

For the record, I only went searching as I don't trust Eamonn.

Understandable. I'm not quite at Kippax-levels of chicanery though.

I think you've got this slightly wrong Footy, I don't think the issue is his temper or that he's a free-spirit but rather that when things aren't working he starts to try to rush things and becomes a bit sloppy. Once the sloppiness comes into his game you then see the other problems but it all starts from that initial issue of him trying to make things happen rather than just following the gameplan. Importantly though wasn't just him but a problem the entire squad had under Gerrard because of the 'create a bit of magic' approach he had which put all the pressure on individuals instead of the team and tactics. Some players thrive under that approach but Buendia in particular struggled with it.

Over pre-season I think he'd clearly been working on that and was looking far less erratic (this is also why I think people thought he looked fitter, he wasn't wasting so much energy) so I'm half-convinced the problem is either already solved or at least well on the way to a solution.


My bigger concern is that we're a pretty small team in attacking positions and that might work against him (and I think Zaniolo, Duran and Rogers clearly show a push from the club to address that).
There's some great points Paul E but I haven't got it remotely wrong on Buendia temperament as he's often seen  frailing arms about and that when decisions or passes don't come his way.
If anyone would be a booking for new rules and dissent it would be him.

We have missed that at times this season. He's a tough little f*cker

Someone should have told him, someone like the moon.

Being as he is training with the first team, might he make an appearance in one of the next two league matches off the bench?
