His worst night on the Villa line tonight. Insane decision to pick tonight to with a back 5. Subs unbalanced the team further if that was even possible. A rabble.

The defence has been a shambles all season and he hasn't figured it out.

That's the concerning thing.

For such a meticulous planner we've looked all over the shop way too many times this season. Even when injuries weren't biting to the extent they are now.

As brilliant as he's been overall, when he gets it wrong, it often goes like this. Eight times in two years we've been annihilated.

10th place.  Minus 5 goal difference.  One win in 7 games.  3 clean sheets in 28 games.  Palace's 3rd win at home of the season. Nketiah scores his first goal, Palace win against a top 8 side for the first time this season.  Not very nice stats.

If Garcia isn't injured then why the fuck did he sub him off for Bailey for? Can't understand that one. Not the only bad decision he made tonight. Bad day at the office for him tonight.

Those stats under Gerrard,  Smith and Bruce would have serious questions asked of them, yet Emery is getting away with it.

Trying to be too clever. Bailey has been shit in his main position this season, to think he could perform in an alien one to him was a bad decision.

Come end of season and if we dont have European football next and just a couple of more games in the cups then will be interesting to see if the owner want change or not.

Always feel when a manager goes to 5 at the back then it's a sign he's run out of ideas.

He’s a great manager so has done great things for us but in the league this season it hasn’t just not been good enough and it’s his problem to fix.

Losing 4-1 to Crystal Palace and it not even being surprising is not acceptable

Unless we get a fair bit worse for the rest of the season I don't think there's a chance they'll think about a change. Some players could think it's time to move on though.

The defence has been a shambles all season and he hasn't figured it out.

Hard to figure out too much there when we have had 11 different CB pairing and god knows how many different CDM pairings. And then the few times they actually defend well, they drop a bollock like picking up the ball, or passing directly to a player in front of goal or.......... But tonight the bollock dropping was by Unai with what he tried to do.
