This guy sabi sha, I look forward to reading more from ya.
At the bolded, Sanchez was the man, I think South Americans have got big engines, Chile was able to win the Copa back to back then with that style, no much big names,but super energetic.

The only players close to his strength are Laca and Torreira, others are either too slow,lazy, old or moderately fit.
Bros, i remain humble oh. Just looking at things from a player's perspective. As in that Copa final between Chile and Argentina is a reference anyday anytime as to how to press. Aturo Vidal and Gary Medel were always within 5 yards of Messi. He could not breathe and barely had seconds on the ball. They were unto him like a flash and anytime sanchez pressed from the front, the rest of the team pressed up in sync and this they did consistently throughout the tournament to great effect. Well like you pointed out, we really only have few players with that mobility and intensity to press but whats most important is that the press is in sync and co-ordinated. Once one player fails to move up the pitch, then the press is useless because that one player will leave an open player in the opponents rank to receive the ball.

Well lets see how we play when we have Hector and Kieran in the mix

Obviously it wasn't OK, but it served the while. Though it allowed their fullbacks free way into our defence but it also exposed their CBs. They were forced to depend on crosses into our box. Even the goal they scored was from set piece, which is not a function of the formation. We also had clear chances to score, several times we caught them 2vs2 but failed to bury the opportunity.
For me, it served, only that we didn't bury our chances,
Previous results of us attacking them has been 4-0 and5-1, its only wise he tries new thing..

Truly, the game wasn't lost on formation, goals from corners, penalty give away and wasting chances are beyond the manager's Can.
Though he really f.up by leaving it too late to introduce Torreira and Laca.

Why Torriera didn't start at all is mind boggling. Introducing the duo at 60mins surely could have driven the game to an edge. Anyways, we have Tottenham next, hope Emery has learnt his lesson.

That's another problem, has Emery learnt his lesson or another wengay in the making sticking to mediocre players and leaving the good ones on bench.

I'm thinking Emery has issues with Laca, he subs him out quick, brings him late, when he's clearly been delivering in most of our big games..

I'm sure he'll learn, he isn't as stubborn as Pa Wenger.

I do not wish to conclude. Laca was our best player last season. His problem is his speed on the ball, and the fact that he enjoys playing with back to goal; unlike Auba who works the space and depends on speed. Most people prefer the speedsters, but it has always been the slow ones that end up with better effectiveness and even stats.

We just dey use one eye dey look Emery and all his 'I too know' tactics. It's when he fails to beat Spurs that haven't seen their periods for weeks now, that's when he will know how impatient Arsenal fans can be.

Kokaneprodigy is finally back after 5 days in Nairaland jail.

This is to appreciate kokanepyramid for fitting in perfectly while Kokaneprodigy was being incarcerated.

And to the mod that banned me, you think you’ve made it in life by sucking up on MannaBbqgrillz.

Someone should tell them at the Emirates we can’t afford to sell Nacho now.

I feel the same way because I don't trust Hulkogan and Tierney is still out. I don't mind him leaving because he has been a faithful servant to this team and at 33, his legs can no longer carry too many games before he goes down, but the timing is bad for us. I don't even mind R. Sociedad waiting until January that way we have Tierney and Hulkogan.

Bad news angry cry
He's been our best defending full back for in recent times, he only struggles against very pacy wingers,

I hope the transfer falls through,maybe jan or when season ends

I don't trust Kola at all and Tierney should be eased in.

I don't like the fact we are becoming too ambitious with our transfer, Kola is better off on transfer list than nacho. The man is almost faultless if not for his age
