My comment wasn't regarding yesterday's performance, my comment was upgrading on Almiron was something that was needed. He's a very limited winger who's approaching 30.

They got caught out with us tactically with the high line and our relentless pressing and pace up top. I think Emery will learn from that, and today they are playing a team who if they don’t go down, will be circling the drain. They are not as good as people make out, but they are also not as bad as people make out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegated teams are riddled with examples of games where they were the better team and luck/lack of finishing cost them and they ended up losing a game they should have won, it’s actually the hallmark of relegated teams.

Diaby's only been here 5 mins though, and isn't even playing the same position, so I'm not sure he would have been the right fit. Almiron really doesn't help himself unfortunately. Watching the game back he probably had the best bits of play going forward for us, but in absolutely crucial moments he sometimes does the most awful thing that everything else good is forgotten about. I think he is seen as crucial to the pressing game Howe has put in place and he also offers a lot of defensive support to Trippier, and so finding similar traits in a player with more quality I think has been difficult.

This is the main one for me. The games where Trippier looked poor were the games without Almiron helping. Edited August 20, 2023 by OCK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not as good as people make out, but they are also not as bad as people make out. It's difficult to make out very much at all on teams on the basis of two very differing games at the start of the season. You weren't as bad as you looked after we beat you at our place last year. We weren't as bad as we looked when shipping four at home to Leicester under Emery. Bad days happen, and you really need a decent sample of games to get a better idea. Except for Everton, who look utterly hopeless in a continuation of last season. They're uberfucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
