Surely if Emery is off, he’d play Elliott as he wouldn’t care if it cost us 30m?

So….I reckon he’s here for the re-build and he knows he needs that money for essential incomings and we’ll win the Euro Cup and finish strong in the league.
Oh maybe see if hes tied into a good deal on his electric - thats would be a sure sign hes staying

He recently planted some wisteria along the front of his house. That’s not flowering for at least 5 years. We can all relax.

Just rewatching some “highlights”. I’m at a total loss to understand why Unai is playing Bailey. It’s like sabotage. There needs to be some sort of intervention. It’s beyond any rational explanation.

Do you have a link to the extended highlights. I haven't seen back the keystone cops stuff at the end with Tammy, Luiz and Garcia all somehow failing to score.

 Emery should take responsibility for some things, but one of them isn't the attitude of certain players who should take responsibility for their inability to  show up for games where Emery have put his faith in them and,put that extra effort when we have key players injured, especially our midfield and forward lines

Emery makes the decisions. Trying to play the likes of Watkins and Rogers back into form has bombed spectacularly. Rogers, maybe you could argue other options are very limited but we spent decent money on Tammy in January.

I wonder why he doesn't play Konsa at RB when we are struggling for numbers there considering he was happy doing it for a period of time previously now our CBs are all fit?

Didn't understand playing Rogers on the right at all.

Sancho was team-tied. McGinn started and can't do 90 minutes, can't see Bailey starting ahead of those two going forward.
