I’m a broken record but Emery ain’t it.

His midfield selections and mentality will always fukk us.

yup bring back wenger

 

[BlackAchilles]

Even the commentators shytting on David Luiz

 

[Rottweiler]

Even though Liverpool would've still won, Emery should've started Lacazette and Torreira. You have to put your best XI in games like these

 

[noondawg]

United is ass

Have Pogba and use him like he's Paul Scholes brehs

Scholes was twice the player this donut pogba is but I agree on the fact he should be played higher

 

[frush11]

Like at City ?

They are not reliant on them to create tho. They can create from general build up possession play.

Some of the selections were very weird, but Emery's been kind of like that since he got to Arsenal. I have no idea why Torreira didn't start if Pepe's fit and integrated enough to start.

Also, we really need to do something about the defensive brain farts. We might have gotten a result if not for the defense (mostly Luiz) screwing up and essentially giving Liverpool two goals in the second half. You just can't do that against a squad as good as they are and have any hope of winning or even getting points out of the match.

At least we're not United though. Rather lose to Liverpool 3-1 away than lose to Palace 2-1 at home.

He was never gonna succeed in Barca with Messi there

 

[Drip Bayless]

We lost a top five player in the world and mfs was talking about some gotdamn David Luiz
Rudiger is already a better defender than him and Zouma or Christensen will have lapped him by the end of the season

What are we supposed to be seeing here?
They're top creator is a midfielder....

A team like liverpool doesn't really have a creative midfielder, so they just use the midfield for pressing.
Teams that have a creative outlet in midfield don't rely on the fullbacks as much

And in some situations like Marcelo and Dani Alves, the fullbacks are too good going forward to waste them on only defending

Mhmm, it's a shame EV couldn't find a way to make it work.
