Ceballinhos
Cheating on Santi
First things first: Learn to quote properly cause I've just randomly stumbled upon your latest two answers...
I've said enough times now that I'll eat my words if Emery gets us to play good footie and that he should get a second season. And I've been rather sound with my observations up until now and that this team has problems that will surface sooner or later, but I'm not a fortune teller. so yeah, let's see.
What Emery is doing isn't adapting it's tinkering without a clear idea in mind. But opinions differ, so if you think it's adapting keep on thinking that.
Injuries are a problem right now, but he problems I'm alluding to and talking about have been there way before the injury crisis. Look it up.
I'll give you that Mustafi and Holding have looked rather good, but I've never been a massive enemy of Shkodran, although I have to concede Holding has surprised me.
The back three has barely looked solid or organized this season.
There were enough alternatives to not play Xhaka out of position but Emery failed to recognize his value at CM far outweigths the negatives of playing someone else at CB. Multiple times in a row even.
I was about to go on answering you point for point, but you know what? I can't be arsed. I'll rely on another poster's work whom I won't name right now, but I'll just give you this:
That's what you said tonight. Now for your past opinions:
Your plausability is down the drain with that, sorry.
And btw you just keep on harping about the squad and unbalanced and ****. You don't even bother to go into tactical stuff and maybe have a slight look at Emery. It's so ****ing biased. You harp on about the Klopp and Guardiola comparisons making excuses for why Emery just isn't as good as those two. And again, I'm not part of the recent meltdown, I have been saying this stuff for a long while before this run of bad games, but you also fail to address that. Now I'm taking a ****ing break from you cause all I'm gonna get here is uh oh unbalanced uh oh but Klopp.
Get yourself an opinion and stick to it.
Sorry I've just seen this.
I still stand with what I've said back then because you're just quoting me in a whole different context just to make your point.
These quotes were from Nov 2017. A lot of things have changed since then.
This is just intellectual dishonesty from you.
Yes I've said our squad was 2 to 3 top signings away to challenge for the title when I still thought we could keep Sanchez and was still one of the best player in the league. When Nacho was still fit and one of the best LB in the league. Koscielny before his injury.
In the meantime we've lost our only very good winger in the squad which hasn't been replaced. Auba is a different player.
Koscielny isn't the same player anymore.
And we dont have a single winger in the squad anymore.
Liverpool has signed top top quality players with VVD Alisson who were game changers. They've also signed Fabinho, Keita Shaqiri who brought them a lot of depth.
Tottenham is a young team who is improving and Son has been playing like a top quality player lately.
And their squad today is more balanced, thus better than ours imo.
But thing has tremendously changed in the meantime and I've been saying during last summer Top 4 was going to be really hard to get unless we sign a top CB and a very good winger.
So please next time you want to quote me, give the full context instead of manipulating what I've been saying.
Thanks.
