Pizy 15,869 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 10 minutes ago, Tomo said: Was he actually that good last night? Or is the desperation to see Alonso dropped leading to exaggerations? (like the Ivan-Baba situation). I thought he was pretty quiet all be it made a vital contribution at the end to seal the points. That said im by no means saying he isn't promosing and i do want to see more of him, but by the comments you'd think he unleashed his inner prime Ash last night. Wasn't really tested at all defensively because both he and Moses had Burnley's wide players pinned back almost the whole match. In addition, us having both Giroud and Morata up top meant that a lot of the play was condensed in the middle of the pitch. Speaking for myself here, but I'm just glad to see a wingback who I'm not terrified about getting totally spanked for pace. Alonso is a fantastic option to have in the squad but for games against good sides he's too easily exposed. Emerson (if he continues to play well) needs to play in the bigger games. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I get what he means though, he did well but you can see more potential for him to attack their right hand side should he have wished. Hopefully a run of games to increase his confidence will see him do as such. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post manpe 10,624 Posted April 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2018 He mostly opted to cross than go 1v1, true, but it is so understandable considering it was his first league start in a year or so and has played only bit-part minutes after joining us. I don't mind, his crosses were dangerous. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigbluewillie 1,503 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Really liked the guy, like his all round game, and let's not forget this is only his 2nd start, I think they'll a lot more to come from the bloke in time. Please don't drop him when Alonso gets back. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigbluewillie 1,503 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hmmmmm this has me pondering. So you're saying that Conte won't play a guy, in this case Emerson, a guy that in 2 games has shored up the left LWB position, for a errrr... let's say a far inferior player. If that's the case I just don't get it, I mean fucking hell if I can see the difference Emerson has made surely Conte can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Pizy 15,869 Posted August 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2018 I think if given a decent run of games he'll be very nice. Technically good and rapid. Please, Sarri! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unionjack 7,530 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Just hope that its opened Sarris eyes to him. Hes faster if nothing else. But maybe Sarri will look at the goals he scored and might think we will need them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
