Emery was so lucky during the first half of the season too. Seems like every game I watched we were getting pummeled by midtable teams in the first half only to miraculously stay in it and eventually win.
Story of our season with Emery, getting battered by lesser teams, up against the ropes hanging on for dear life.Emery was so lucky during the first half of the season too.

Yep even our unbeaten run we were far from convincing. Teams looked like they were having more or just as many chances than us, but we were just converting them at the right time. playing how we were it was only a matter of time till the luck ran out, you spend a season doing what we were doing. The football was dire then, but people accepted it because we were winning.Emery was so lucky during the first half of the season too.

The thing that's concerning is, Emery hasn't developed any sort of attacking form with these players.
He's not managed to get Auba Özil and Lacazette playing well at all. We look devoid of ideas when attacking
If you play 2 cfs you need width and pace which we dont have. The 442 diamond worked reasonably well imo.The thing that's concerning is, Emery hasn't developed any sort of attacking form with these players.

I think auba and laca have played well. 3rd best attacking duo in the epl. The form of everyone else has been utter garbage and our 2 lads up front can only bail them out so long.
Your spot on about attacking. But aside from ramsey there is not another midfielder or attacker in the squad that compliments our front 2. Klopp knew he had a brilliant front 3 so went out and got fabinho and kieta who both compliment those front guys perfect.
Much like the end of Wenger's tenure for long periods. People forget that. We were utterly toothless on so many occasions. Lest we forget not registering a solitary shot on goal against top 6 sides on how many occasions? That wasn't because we played good football!He's not managed to get Auba Özil and Lacazette playing well at all. We look devoid of ideas when attacking
I would love it as it would kinda rebuild the connection we are losing with the Club rapidly nowadays. They would quit the day we try to sign another Denis Suarez on loan though, or after the first Mustafi/Xhaka brainfart haha.You laugh but I'm a romantic one. Would love to see the next chapter of Vieira with Arsenal!

There is a huge lack of creativity in the team.
Özil hasn't been good enough even if the fanboys will say otherwise. He's been decent for most of the season, but I expect him to be in the same bracket as KDB, Bernardo Silva, or Cesc when he was our main playmaker. He isn't. I wish he was playing more like he was during his fantastic half season where he was on the verge of breaking the assist record.
He was running the offense back then. He was doing absolutely everything and that's what I expect such a talented player to do.
Iwobi isn't good enough. At best he's a rotation player who gets 10/15 games. But he's way to unreliable even though he was promising at some point in the season.
But you can't trust him to create something on a consistent basis.
And then there's Mkhi who is my biggest disappointment of the season. He's been good for less than a month in the season. I was expecting so much better from him because he was a fantastic player for Dortmund back in the days, and had a really promising start when we brought him.
Laca who did his best to help the team play better and he did good at the expense of goals imo. He had a lot of assists, a lot of fantastic plays. With more creativity within the team he would have focused more on goal scoring like he was at Lyon.
Auba has never been a complete striker who helps your team play better football. He's overrall game is pretty poor but he's a great goalscorer.
We need much much more stronger wide options + a creative CM to have a much better offense.
Yeah great blame only the players. Yet the major stats point towards Emery but you're so far up his arse so he gets a pass.
Rodgers has been at Leicester a few months and he’s totally rejuvenated them.
Practising those Kolasinac cut backsThey defended well tonight. Really got you wondering what we have been doing in training for last year or so.
