You can argue that but Diego Simeone has a pedigree to show why his defensive tactics work. Meanwhile despite Búmery‘s attempts, he concedes 40 chances against Watford at the expense of our attack. Not comparable, just like he‘s not comparable to Klopp, Guardiola as he has been compared to, many times.
The more apt comparison would be Juande Ramos, who also won the Europa League with Sevilla and was a bum for the rest of his career.
You are claiming Watford had 40 chances, while the reality is they had 24 shots and 10 towards goal according to Transfermarkt.
So we can see how you exaggarete things very much (I'm not defending Emery on that match, that's for sure btw.)
The point was that Simeone & Emery both thought Vitolo was better for their teams at the time. Head coaches don't usually choose players only for their talent, they want results more so they don't get the foot.
Ben Arfa situation was also right call for him like Vitolo estimation. Vitolo has been more succesful this far. Emery was right about Ben Arfa too, because no one wants him even for free.
