Fuck it, let’s give the points to Wolves, we can’t possibly compete with Wolves with our injuries.

They may not have done but it’s nearly 3-4 weeks since it’s happened and we’ve signed some replacements so people are asking with what we now have we don’t seem to be finding a way of playing that’s effective. We’re seeing some flashes of coherence but and this is maybe part of Unais total stubbornness we seem set in a style that other teams have worked out and we need to adapt. I’m sure Unai will sort it out and there’s absolute total faith from me that he will but in the meantime it’s frustrating.

It’s very frustrating and it highlights how Emery’s style is so fine tuned and probably why new signings are not thrust straight into his side. He had issues at the start of the season, not too different to what we are witnessing now. Suddenly it clicked and then we found a way of winning and building momentum.

From memory I’m sure Torres and Kamara coming in and looking sharp was one of the main reasons. We haven’t got Kamara but we have Torres’s and maybe we need to utilise Barkley more.

There is no value in keep going about the injuries.
We have enough resources to do better than we are right now.
We have 11 PL games with a massive opportunity to secure CL status.

Fine then. Let's stop

It's an absolute disgrace how our form has disimproved. I think Emery shouldsort this1.How can we go from winning 11 games in a row and beating sides like Arsenal, Man City and Man Utd to the dross we saw against Everton, Brentford and Leeds. it stinks. Why is going on? Why has our play declined?

Why does the manager not just go back to doing what we did in all those games up to the Tottenham FA Cup game? Disgrace!

That might be true but we are better than Leeds all over the park by many levels of magnitude. Our better players, Sancho, Barkely, Torres, were on the bench. If you want to say that we have 3 players out and a hand behind our back, ok, it absolutely is a factor, but.kets not double that problem.

Better players?? Sancho and Barkley did ok yesterday when they came on but are on the bench for obvious reasons. Torres the same, poor v Newcastle twice recently. I'm not a fan of playing Mings in home games like yesterday but it's Lindelof that should be in the team for me over both of them.


Barkley likely on the bench as he probably isn't fit enough for 90. Not sure what other obvious reasons there would be to keep Sancho and Torres there.

No agreed, on Torres unless it’s an injury it’s a mentality thing. Unai is incredible, but he has a fine balance thing where sometimes he veers towards too defensive. It’s rare, but it does happen on occasion.

It’s clear that recently we’re not currently getting the best out of the players we have. Our current squad even with the injuries we have is comfortably better than Everton, Brentford, Brighton, Leeds and yet we really really struggled against all of them. We got away with it against Brighton. We need to do something different.
