Serious question…
I don’t want to say this, because I love him but…
How much time do we give Emery to sort this out? This next transfer window? We’re not looking anywhere near the team that we were at the start of the season… something is wrong - again.
I trust Emery to sort it out, but I suspect we’ve been found out tactically and our players seem to be mentally out of their depth.
A very long time. He will get it right, but he is not getting it right at present and neither are the players.
I think our biggest problem this season has been that we lost players in the summer and failed to replace them adequately. The two who we took from Juventus could have been exceptionally useful at the moment.
We are missing Diaby, we are missing Luiz. They were cores of the team whether we liked it or not. By losing them, we lost a valuable contribution to our assists.
Defensively, the high line has been sussed out and our weaknesses have been exposed.
The January transfer window is going to be very very telling though. Either we’re backing to improve or we’re not - and if we have to endure the 2nd half of the season with these players alone, we’re in for a horrible journey.
I have no doubt that Emery will sort it out though in time - it’s just a question of what comes first - that, or the patience of our owners.
We’re suffering from this last summer now…
