He could have been braver and played Willock from last season tbh.Yeah but we got bad injuries and suspensions to midfield at the end of season. Had to play Elneny & Guendouzi (who was out-of-form later in his 1st season) together.
Losing midfield "totally" you lose the game usually.
I can see us improving with the full back situation looking healthier. Emery has to improve our possession game in the league though. That's the main thing now, creating chances consistently. Theres been some improvement in the last few weeks. Let's see if that upward trajectory continues.
No surprise that its the cup team with a different midfield. Maybe, as Tim Stillman said yesterday, they've earned the right to fail.
