Unai Emery

[Brazilian Villain]

If Forest win with a 0-0 park the bus next week I'm jacking this shit in, life's too short,

I hope you're a man of your word.

[WassallVillain]

The only thing I will be critical of is the decision to start Buendia.

Agreed

You don’t think Luiz would have been better to replace Onana over Bogarde when we were largely in control and on the front foot.

[WassallVillain]

If McGinn can only do 70 minute’s . It should be the last 70 not the first.

[ChicagoLion]

I do not think he is making great decisions with team selection and substitutes at the moment.
However he seems to be running out of options beyond Buendia, Sancho, Bailey and Bogarde.
Yet Luiz and Lindelof sit on the bench.

That’d be quite weird though wouldn’t it.

It would but we allways look worse when Mcginn goes off.

No, I understand the point. But would it be better to start badly if that’s the logic? On balance this is the way you have to do it. Then you work on him playing for longer and/or more effective substitutions.

McGinn plays until the last moment unless you drag him off. He might not always be wonderful but he gives every scrap, and I'd expect he'll start both of the next two games.

I find his aversion to using Lindelof absolutely baffling. I also don't get why Luiz has not been used more, when he had clearly found his feet after a slightly difficult first few games back with us. Either of these two could have come on for Onana last night, rather than the frankly very limited Bogarde.

[Demitri_C]

Im glad he had a go at VAR, i do find sometimes that unai is abit too tame when decisions  go against us. Last nights non red was absolutely  ridiculous. What makes it even more baffling is bednarek was given a red for less for forest in their game vs porto.

I agree , he has to start until we have the luxury of being able to play well without him.

[dorsetvillian]

I must admit to being frustrated with Unai over these last two performances. Such pivotal games played out in the same way. Two defeats and no goals scored. It seems we are sleep walking our way through games and not daring to impose our personality on games. The next 3 games will define the Unai reign..

I think if we look at the players he has to work with, he has continually overachieved with us.

The squad needs a refresh - I am not too sure that we have many in the first team squad that have too much upside.

It’s an ageing squad and poor transfer business has left us short of quality.

Yep, when you are operating under the restrictions that we are, you need to get more right than wrong.
