Bogarde's lacking in pace and gets caught out.

But with Cash not being available  we shouldn't be relying on a defensive midfielder to play at right back.

That's down to signings - or the lack of them.

Only selves to blame and Emery when he hits a slump boy he hits a slump. So can’t be arsed with football atm. Simply cannot compete in this league

A very big game to flap it in, even if we never get anything here anyway.

Bogarde cross looking for Bailey's head beyond the far post. Lol.

Emery needs a massive reset somehow - this is lifeless, he's not getting enough out of this group of players. They don't look well coached, and they clearly lack a plan B

Emery doesn’t stick around in most jobs for than a few years. You wonder if his insistence on his structure and methods wear thin. He insists on the same players and systems and when it doesn’t go well it goes really bad quickly. That’s what we are seeing now.

That mistake aside he's been ok. No excuse whatsoever for picking Digne

For the life of me, I cannot fathom how Bailey gets in this squad, let alone team.

I just laugh whenever Bailey gets the ball now. Man is stealing a living.

some would say we're acting spoilt - complaining as such when we're in a good position on paper.... but I get what you're saying, football as a whole just fucking stinks

No idea why he didn’t play Konsa RB and use  Lindelof.

Because Emery is convinced Bailey knows out structure. Whatever the fuck that even means anymore

the squad is clearly getting old now, and it needs a huge refresh, can't see us having much money to do that though, unless Rogers is sold.
