That's no debate or discussion.But the point is you're saying that he doesn't fit emerys play or style, and I'm saying that if you look at the fact that he started about 80% of the games under emery before his injury, it suggests that your opinion is a pretty strange one.
The good thing is that when everybody is fit* the competition for places should mean everybody ups their game, including Emi. Torres having a nightmare and couldn't tackle a two course dinner? On the bench you go son, we'll stick with Mings and Konsa. Emi being a bit slap dash and passing the ball out to nobody? Then on comes Rogers. The trouble we have at the moment is that the side more or less picks itself.*As likely as my unicorn farm idea taking off, I know.

I think you've got this slightly wrong Footy, I don't think the issue is his temper or that he's a free-spirit but rather that when things aren't working he starts to try to rush things and becomes a bit sloppy. Once the sloppiness comes into his game you then see the other problems but it all starts from that initial issue of him trying to make things happen rather than just following the gameplan. Importantly though wasn't just him but a problem the entire squad had under Gerrard because of the 'create a bit of magic' approach he had which put all the pressure on individuals instead of the team and tactics. Some players thrive under that approach but Buendia in particular struggled with it.Over pre-season I think he'd clearly been working on that and was looking far less erratic (this is also why I think people thought he looked fitter, he wasn't wasting so much energy) so I'm half-convinced the problem is either already solved or at least well on the way to a solution.My bigger concern is that we're a pretty small team in attacking positions and that might work against him (and I think Zaniolo, Duran and Rogers clearly show a push from the club to address that).
Although Buendia is a lot of fun to watch and creative, Emi lacks the emotional control, temperament, and ball-keeping skills necessary to be a first choice of Emery....
7 yellow and 1 red in 109 games. Footy, you're wrong.
So what if he waves his arms around a bit? He doesn't do it at referees, he does it when he's pissed off at the way play develops.
