I don't believe that "top players only need complete freedom." Some structure and some discipline is needed, but there is a balance that needs to be made in order to get the best out of your players.
Emery took over a squad featuring the most creative player of the past 20 years, who has won trophies at the highest levels of competition, still in his prime, with two outstanding strikers playing in front of him.
Somehow Emery sees this and wants Mesut Özil to play like Dirk f*cking Kuyt.
That is terrible management. That is not getting the most out of your players. That is not setting your players up for success. That is a failure on the part of the manager. The same applies to Ramsey, Lacazette, and even Xhaka to a degree who has been put at LB for several games. Emery doesn't see players, he sees pawns.
No, he doesn’t want Özil to be kyut.
You’ve got it completely wrong mate.
If he actually prefer kyut type of players we would play ****ing defensive boring **** and woundnt concede as much. But Emery is an attacking minded manager, he wants to out score his opponent.
He just wants a player who is as technically good and creative as Özil, but can also press the opponent at the same time. Someone like a younger silva, iniesta, modric, cazorla....
Not getting the best out of the players?
They are not even in his plan.
If Drogba was in guardiola team he would have benched drogba and go on to play his tiki taka football.
And he would sell drogba for someone small and technically gifted in the transfer window.
Emery is just doing the exact same thing.
