All good, buddy. I've been really hard on Emery these past days, probably a hair too much. That said, A-M is consistently hyperbolic, so I've probably just been feeding off the hype train.
It's easily done. It's like a feeding frenzy. Ive been guilty with certain players too :facepalm: Tonight was a positive though. I know it's been frustrating, but hopefully we've seen a few things to make us optimistic. Just hope the fullback thing isn't a false dawn. Some problems too... What do we do with Martinelli now? Is Mustafi resurgent? We wasn't sure of our first team before, and it's not getting any easier :lol:

Out of Ceballos, Torreira and Willock only the latter came off. Logic dictates he starts along with Xhaka and Guendouzi. Not sure how Emery works though

Genuinely don’t understand how you’re so patient with young players but lack the same patience for someone adapting to a new team, style of play, country and language.

Each to their own I guess.

Young players are developing. I would expect Pepe to have developed mostly by now. Didn't rate him in France and so far he has done nothing to disprove what I see. Looks like AMN on steroids of wingers.

Poor lad Pepe. Trying waaaay too hard.

Someone here was having a go at Torreira in the 1st half. Watched him closely in the 2nd. He broke up about 5 opposition attacks and looked rock solid to me, maybe should have tucked away one of his chances.
He's clearly trying too hard. It doesn't look natural. He oozes talent.

Torreira had a much better second half too. He looked nervous in th first half for whatever reason. Probably putting too much on the fact it's his chance to bench Xhaka.

He did it and looked awful... I am convinced now that the whole problem at midfield comes from Xhaka. All of this started when he arrived.

Starting Ceballos Guendouzi or Willock with Xhaka give us more creativity. For me I'll start Torreira Ceballos and of Willock or Guendouzi but knowing emery Xhaka will start every league game

A great team performance that was enjoyable to watch.

Ceballos - The MOTM in my opinion. Everything he does oozes class, so skillful, clever flicks, back heels, turning opposition inside out, making exceptional through balls, intercepting, tackling, tracking back and being involved in everything.

Martinelli - Good header for his first, great quick feet & finish for his second. Good pass to set up Ceballos for his goal & also created a chance for Pepe who should have scored. Had a couple of chances where could of had a hattrick but sadly it wasn't meant to be. Very impressive tonight.

Willock - Pretty much every time I've seen him play this season i've been impressed. Just such a well rounded complete player.

Tierney - such a threat going forward creating chance after chance. It will be interesting to see how he plays against side that threatens us more defensively.

Nelson - Probably his best performance so far this season for us, linked up well with Tierney and made numerous good runs.

Torreira - sloppy with his distribution in the first half but had a very good second half.


The only guys who didn't play well tonight was our right sided players.

AMN - Clearly not a RW.

Bellerin - His distribution was woeful tonight and he was at fault for the opposition best chances (39 minute poor positioning & 58 minute turning possession over cheaply).

Pepe - a chance of a confidence booster against this side in his cameo but was not up to standard again.

Emery is EL specialist. No surprises that continues. Probably will until we hit a PL team (like last year).
