It was, frankly, too easy.Afterwards Emery explained that he had studied Burnley’s opening-night performance against Manchester City at length. “They were playing man-to-man, playing tight to keep possession longer,” he said. “It was very difficult to do more than five, eight, 10, 12 passes in combinations. Today we caught the moments to do it.“The second goal was one positive example of the idea we have. When we can’t do passes, we have to be clinical and more direct than normal. I think we did, more or less, in 90 minutes respect them but always tried to impose our idea.”That, in a nutshell, is the attention to detail that Emery is famous for.Who was the last manager we had whose main concern was ideas?You have a short memory, Monty.I haven't broadcast this, but I was often in the company of Paul Lambert in the Paul Lambert years. He was a workaholic and he loved to drink work!*He'd regularly hold barbecues for the players and staff. I remember him saying: "Ideas a few sausages an a wee bit burger. The bams kin eff aaff eftir that."*I have never met Paul Lambert.

Not a word from Unai about our awful injury list either with 5 first teamers out. If it was Klopp there’d be a half hour special about it on the BBC

Suddenly the squad feels bigger. The bloke is a genius.Elsewhere someone said that Emery doesn’t have the same profile as Klopp/guardiola etc because he’s not box office in interviews etc. that might be a blessing for us because he’s every bit as good, often better, at everything else.

He can just get on and do his thing under the radar.We've never had the media circus fawning over us so we stay out of the spotlight, for once I'm beginning to like it.

By way of an illustration about Emery’s ability to manage "in-game", clearly Kompany had tweaked things at HT yesterday and for the first 10 mins of the 2nd half Burnley caused us a few problems.But then, either because they ran out of steam, or (more likely) because he'd worked out Kompany's changes and altered a few things positionally and tactically; we regained dominance - Diaby scored our third on the hour mark and that was pretty well that.I wonder what his predecessor would have done in the same situation, other than call for more effort?
