Carabao Cup 4th Round: Liverpool v Arsenal | Wednesday October 30, 19:30 GMT | Sky Sports

We dont press anyway, we dont really do anything under emery

not true - we lose when we should at least draw, and draw when we should win

I can honestly see us having the much stronger line ups but losing tonight as none of the players have a clue what they are meant to be doing under emery

Laca Ceballos Guendouzi only the players to do it but that really doesn't much because we don't create much from open play.

And its pointless to do with only a few players doing in, I know we have forced mistakes but at this level most are confident enough to cope with a single press

this for me is a big factor when considering who should replace Emery - we need a manager the whole team can unite under, and who can instil renewed enthusiasm and belief in themselves - tactics and vision come second for me at the moment

 

[GoonerJay24]

We started this season very well, looked really impressive...then Robin got his usual injury not long after this game if I remember, and then we dropped out of the title hunt...still finished 3rd though.

Fabregas was the man that season. We lost the title for losing too many big games.

I don't like this mentality though, reall disagree with it.

Chelsea a few years ago had a poor coach and man manager in Avram Grant, but there players took it upon themselves to fight for the team which led to a UCL Final and missing out on the title narrowly.

Probably didn’t have enough experience to really compete with United and Chelsea, but man the football...obviously led by Cesc and RVP, but also the last quality full seasons from the likes of Arshavin and Diaby, plus youngsters like Ramsey, Nasri and Walcott started to really step up.

Their squad was full of leaders for a start and I dont think I have ever seen football as unorganised as emerys at a top club, at least not for a long period...at least with jose or simeone you know the plan, emery doesnt even seem to know his, not sure even that chelsea team woulda done much under him

 

[Riou]

Going for a 3-1 win tonight, cone on boys!

 

[Deki]

Team morale low, discord between fans and players now at an all-time high especially if most of them are backing their dimwit teammate. This could be whatever Liverpool want it to be and should be the end of Emery.

 

[Ewarwoowar]

Difficult to know where Emery going with this in regards to 1st teamers(selection), but I guess we'll probably camp out in our box much like last time,, sigh!!

Says Özil will play a part, scenes when he comes on with 10 minutes to go.

But a games a game, We need this to cut some of the tension in here

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Wouldn't be bad line up. the midfield is more balanced then Emery been putting in the league.

 

[Deki]

If that IS the lineup, would love to know why exactly Özil is back and what has changed in Emerys thinking. Or has he just been forced to play him as he feels the pressure of the fans and wants to keep his job atleast until xmas.

Guess we can probably gauge from Ozils body language (maybe not).

Its cup game so its good chance he'll start

Protecting the asset?

Article 15, allows an ‘established professional’ to terminate his contract on the grounds of ‘sporting just cause’ if he has appeared in fewer than 10% of the official matches in which his club has been involved during the season. If a sporting just cause is found, sporting sanctions (see below) won’t be imposed, though compensation may be payable. A player can only terminate his contract on this basis in the 15 days following the last official match of the season of the club with which he is registered.

That's a good team imo

Check out emery's comments... he's flip flopped on Özil...

Would like Saka to get a start.

Apart from AMN, that is quite a sensible lineup.

I'd still be surprised if Özil played any part.
