It’s not really when the 2 are back up players. Lindelof has done great, but he is a back up. The players we needed to augment our attack have basically all failed. Sancho has been the best, but he’s been at most ok and clearly that sounds weird with no goals or assists.

That's the problem though - anyone we can afford is likely to be a backup; so the best we can do is get someone who is good enough as a rotation/backup option.

Guessand, Sancho and Elliott are failing even at that.

Emery knows the season is going to fizzle out having watched his bizarre post match interview. Restricted from making signings and injuries galore have forced his hand.

If manure want him in the summer he might fancy it tbh. Last week I would have said no chance but that interview is very telling.

Can’t say I got this from the interview, just seemed angry and annoyed, which is fair enough

Blimey….we lose a football match, our season is fizzling out, the manager is going and it’s all falling apart.

Emery is not turning it in - he’s just fucked off post game.

Thats what happens when you only win 11 home games on the bounce and not 12.

Is this the interview that was linked by PWS under your original post? Not sure how you get any of the above from that, talk about making mountains out of molehills.

At least BC Villain used to commit fully to the nonsense he posted.

He’s angry like any winner is after a defeat and he always plays our chances down, he’s done it since he came here.
Emery won’t let the season fizzle out, he’s world class.

I want a manager that's pissed of that we lose. What I hope doesn't happen is that we have a manager that gets pissed off because we can't succeed because no matter what we do the deck is too stacked against us.

It's amazing how quickly the doom and gloom comes back.

The past three years have been unbelievable and this season could yet be the best one. Have some faith

Agree, he said he needs to take a few hours to recover mentally. He's fucked off with that out there today and the injuries and the transfers. It affect him as much as it does us, I like that.

Yeah we've seen him like that before.  He gets frustrated when we dont play well. 

Its been a rollercoaster, we're either winning the lot, or its the end of the road.

If - and its a big if - we could get the recruitment to be better I think that would be the missing piece of the jigsaw. Its obviously hard, trying to recruit top 4 players with a bottom half budget, but we need to do better.  The fact that Bizot and Lingard are the only players that feel like they havent made the squad worse this summer is a damning situation

Tough game next weekend - but we have points on the board.

He’s annoyed, understandably.

But the main point is that we have to give him 2/3 players to actually augment the team - the team, not the team in 3/4 years time, the team now.
