Decentish job at Swansea

Nearly won the league with Liverpool

Decent job at Celtic

Not saying he's a top manager as he isnt but he's the sort of manager in the mid tier bracket like Mancini, Benitez, Biesla etc we should have gone for had the top brass like Jose told us to do one.

Instead we went for rock bottom tier hence being 15th.

Stopped reading after second line sorry hun
 
not a red for me. Defo a yellow, clumsy but not intentional.

var is basically making up their own rules now.

On Torriera, it's hard to watch him play for Uruguay because he is behind Nandez, who has just moved to Europe from Boca, and Lodeiro who plays in MLS, among others. I know he's meant to be good but I really don't understand why he's only played 200 or so PL minutes this season and isn't starting for Uruguay if he is such a top midfielder. I've seen one game where he's put it all together, I believe it was against Spurs, and otherwise he's been short of something when I've seen him.

But moving on from that I don't really see that backline as being great. To me it's unproven, unproven, past his best, and decent but also coming off a bad knee injury. The less said about Chambers the better. Not sure I see Guendouzi as a box to box player but who knows he's still young. At any rate his defensive side is poor at this moment.

But the biggest problem with that set up is the slash between Lacazette and Aubameyang. Any system should start with getting those two in their best position up top. Unfortunately spending 72m on Pepe makes that hard to do. I like him but he's been average at best thus far and just isn't getting dropped. Playing Saka, as promising as he is, instead of one of that front two is not good management imo.

Last thing is I don't understand how a manager of that team could be hired without having a coherent plan about what to do with Ozil. Love him or hate him they made a commitment with the new deal and hiring someone who didn't have a plan in place for him is just another example of a lack of a plan. I just can't see where this team wants to go. And they're doing good things like signing Tierney, Guendouzi and Saliba so it is really a matter of just finding a precise direction I think.

l think the direction is right, even if the driver behind the wheel might not be the best one.

Guendouzi is going to be a bix to box .He pretty much does that now. His defensive side will improve.
With Torriera, check his positioning out.
Last night is a case in point, Emery is trying to push him further and further up the field which is not his game and if you watch him in a game for long enough he starts to revert into a DM which means he ends up covering a ridiculous amount of ground like last night.
Nothing wrong with playing Saka as he is good enough to be playing as a left wing, he hasn't looked out of place when he's played.
Lacazette and Aubameyang and Pepe front 3 will probably get tried vs Palace. It'll be likely Saka,Martinelli and Nelson if he's fit again at Anfield midweek.
