I do get nervous sometimes when we play out from the back but I trust Emery's vision it will all come good in the end.
It's all about control. As soon as you launch a 50/50 up-field you're giving up on control. At times that's ok, especially if you're really good at squeezing up on a team in that transition, but you can never be sure when and where you'll be getting the ball back. If you have it and moving it around in your defence it's much easier to execute training grounds routines, etc because you have far fewer variables out of your control.

Players will just have to get better get used to it or be replacedI can tell you now Konsa will never be able to play it out from the back very well it just isn’t going to happen. He hasn’t got the skill set. It’s a simple as thatBut That’s the formula we are playing and need to keep playing so that when certain players are replaced new players just fit into that system
Two goals for, three against from memory. Not sure how many we’ve conceded from lumping it and losing possession.Has anyone noticed if we’ve got any better at keeping possession from throw-ins? We’ve been shit at them for years.
