Really? We're playing a whole different way and players are being hooked before the 70 min mark, not sure how you think any of this.To me he looks to be Wengeresque in his tactics and treatment of the players.
Yeah, there’s some differences, but the all out attack philosophy which sometimes leads to getting hit on the counter is very evident.Really? We're playing a whole different way and players are being hooked before the 70 min mark, not sure how you think any of this.
That is true. Emery is making waves though and certainly filling the shoes nicely so far. But hindsight will be 20/20 after 3 years or so.Yeah, there’s some differences, but the all out attack philosophy which sometimes leads to getting hit on the counter is very evident.
Klopp and Pep have the quality at the back and in defensive midfield to deal with that swashbuckling attacking style of play. Certainly now VVD has arrived. We don’t yet. But maybe in another couple of windows.
Err pep got the players he wanted after how many years? And spending how much?Yeah, there’s some differences, but the all out attack philosophy which sometimes leads to getting hit on the counter is very evident.

You knew I’d disagree with that last statement.We need to play to our strengths. And anyway, that strategy isn't bad as long as the players are coached to react to its failures. Wenger, at least in his later years, couldn't coach a quick and effective defensive transition for the life of him.
Emery’s doing everything right in my eyes and therefore he should keep finishing somewhere between 3rd and 7th. I’d be very surprised if he ends up outside those limits unless Sven finds an Henry or a Kane.That is true. Emery is making waves though and certainly filling the shoes nicely so far.

Wenger had the best overall defensive stats in the league 2015/16. You can’t suddenly lose the plot in two years without getting Alzheimer’s. It was more to do with Mertersaker being replaced by Mustafi, Kos’ recurring injuries, change in in personnel in defensive midfield, and the loss of player confidence following the massive social media campaign against Wenger . . . .which ultimately caused the drop out of top 4 after 20 years and the poor defensive results.
It’s the perfect football forum, where we can all have different views and agree to differ.
