It was still encouraging to see a fair few things change for the better in such a small time frame. When you're up against a **** side like that , though, you'd expect the players to be able to train on their own all week and beat Bournemouth without a manager on the touchline.
In something approaching a normal environment you would be right.
We went a hell of long time under Emery chopping and changing formations, tactics and playing staff with no clear end goal or strategy in site. He didn't have the language skills to build any kind of meaningful working relationship with the players either, to the point where he was getting openly mocked. Even Freddie, who seems a relatively relaxed guy was shocked by it by all accounts. It's not a situation that is going to turn around overnight or even within a handful of games
