Excellent! As long as you're not up the junction.

Good to see Buendia get some minutes and action
I would argue he's actually a better finisher than Rogers
The chances Rogers has this season he would put some of those away or at least hit the target.

I've been a big fan of little Emi, but I think his lack of physicality means he will not make the progress he needs to get back to being a significant player for us.
Sorry to say, he needs a loan with a view to a future sale.

Yeah i think its time to go seperate ways. When you compare him to rogers there is levels in quality. Emis nowhere that.

He is so weak as well. Im sorry emi but i just don't think this is going to work out.

Miles off it today sadly, must have been caught in possession around 10 times, some of those leading to dangerous counter attacks.

In a sea of shit, he still managed to stand out. Quite some going.

Very poor today, not sure I’d write him off though.

He didn’t seem able to move, keep the ball and look for a pass at the same time.

It looked more like a problem of match sharpness to me, even though he was the first back after injury. But compared to Mings and Kamara, the position he plays is unforgiving in that you’re constantly surrounded by players and are always under severe pressure.

I've long thought we've probably outgrown him while he's been injured, and tonight didn't do anything to dispel that feeling. I think he'll move on in January.

Yep i didnt think he was that great before the injury tbh. Very inconsistent back then and now he looks even worse

I said when he was out that he is not an Emery type of player, because he gives the ball away too often.

That’s not really his problem at the moment, it’s that he’s miles off the pace. Perhaps understandable, but his level needs to improve a lot.

Unfortunately, I dont think hes good enough for top 8 team.  Has some good attributes, but not enough for where we are now and how we play.  More importantly, I dont think hell get the chance to prove us wrong.  Jan Loan to Buy written all over it. 

Shame - I do like him, but think missing last season meant he probably missed his chance to prove hes up to it

He needs 10 games to get back up to speed and he simply isn't going to get that . Sub player now at best
