Possibly an idea to see how they perform after they've worked with a decent coach for a while.
I didn't see any of the game and have no intention of doing so but I wholly agree. One game at a place where we rarely get anything and a few of them have a poor game and all of a sudden they're not good enough? It's ridiculous. Under the guidance of Emery and his staff I'm sure Emi will flourish.
It depends what you mean by the next level. Top 10?
I do wonder which of our players are most suited to Emery's playing style and training methods. We could see some shifts both in which players perform well, but also we may see some players currently doing OK flounder.Chambers ought to be higher up the pecking order due to his better passing ability, and Carlos will likely partner him when available. The rest of our central defenders all look suspect regards being good on the ball, so one would assume Mings and Konsa will be sold on (should generate a good profit), Bednarek will be released at the end of the loan period and Hause will not return. The young lad from Fleetwood may well get some game time next season too.Sanson, and Kamara should benefit from Emery's methods, but can see Nakamba, Luiz and McGinn being moved on as all are profligate wasters of possession. Can't see Ings being mobile enough, but Watkins definitely is. Traore may come back, Guilbert may get a chance. Don't think any of our senior fullbacks will survive past next season, but hopefully KKH will feature.I am sure there will be a few pleasant surprises regards improved form though.
Deaddonkey?

They’ve been having “poor games” for the better part of two seasons. One good game in 60 odd is the ridiculous bit
I would suggest most of these players are good enough - technically, physically, ability-wise for a midtable Premier League squad. We have seen most of them perform at a high level on occasion. We should not be a struggling club in this division, our squad is probably between 8th and 11th in terms of quality and strength in depth.

What is also questionable is their motivation and commitment to the cause. Emery is a top class coach and manager, if they have a tune worth playing, he will get it out of them.
