I hope they both stick around under the new regime. Mr Wakeman gets a bit of stick on here but not every set piece is going to work like perfection.

I can think of three goals scored this season as a clear result of training ground set piece innovation.

That’s surely a decent percentage of goals we’ve scored this season.

I agree. It's going to take time, but you'd already say that we look more dangerous from corners, if only because Dougie might score from one (as others have said, something that we've missed since Stan left!)

Think Danks/McPhee/Cutts are a decent threesome to keep continuity in the backroom staff

Probably not deserving of a thread in its own right, but i really hope we sack our medical staff. Absolutely idiotic with Emi, and it's not been the first time, either.

Why are British managers always so slow to make changes?

We have it with Southgate at world cups, DS and Gerrard weren't great at all at tweakings things when games were in the balance and now we make changes when we're 3-0 down ffs.

This is one of the things I'm most looking forward to under Emery. Someone who will make 1-2 changes early second half or even at half time when we're drawing or narrowly losing.

Real bugbear of mine. Inexplicable when you have 5 subs in play aswell.

It’s very possible these two might not be needed much after Tuesday

Emery must be ruthless with the coaching staff as well.  Danks, McPhee and Cutler need the push ASAP.  None of them are fit for purpose. 

Cutler always gets a good press, but Martinez's form has regressed over the last eighteen months under his "coaching"

From his post match comments he almost seemed to be glad to be out of it to be honest.

I got that impression as well. He doesn't seem comfortable in front of the camera at all.

Neither are very popular or rated. Cutler is falling in to those categories as well.

Only so many coaching staff you can work through until you start looking elsewhere.

Yeah - also came across that he assumed he'd go back to a coaching role at the club. He mentioned something about that being his original brief as part of our "project" or similar.

I agree Emi's form has regressed. If a change of coach can turn that around, I'm all for it.
