Players improved under Emery in 15 games: McGinn, Watkins, Ramsey, Luiz, Mings, Buendia. And there are probably more. I still feel all this sticks in the craw of the cheerleaders for the traditional wanker British managers who can't handle Stevie G failing, but the difference here is absolutely night and day, no comparison. Under Emery, we play like we have a plan, and a collective brain and an effort to make it happen. I never really feel like we are going to lose - we do lose, obviously, but I go into matches thinking we'll quite possibly win. Week after week. We've scored in every game under him. We had one game against Leicester where we made four poor mistakes and every one of them was punished. We lost at home to Arsenal, but were at 2-2 until the 93rd minute when a shot hit the crossbar, bounced in and went in off our keeper's head. I was wrong about a few of these players. I thought Watkins wasn't up to it, I thought McGinn was a busted flush, but we're seeing the impact a proper coach with a properly professional backroom staff can make, it's remarkable, and I just wish we hadn't wasted the first third of the season on that cunt Gerrard. EDIT - and another thing, in 15 games he has entirely changed the way we play, totally different. He has us playing out from the keeper to the defenders, ball to feet, all the time, something we never did under Gerrard. We now keep the ball, he goes nuts when we give it away cheaply. 15 games, remarkable. Watkins looks so much sharper, it's been a crazy improvement. McGinn looks a totally different player. Interesting to hear him say he was backed by Gerrard but didn't perform, but obviously has been improving game on game under Emery. Not seen you loads but it seems everyone has a much greater understanding of roles and responsibilities and the coaching for each role seems to be pretty spot on. Improving players to improve the team > shouting at the team to improve the players. Edited April 1, 2023 by Super Duper Branko Strupar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although also, the rectangle followed by the hand crossing "no goal" or "no red card" thing. That's even better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
