    Lichsteiner is awful but then he's way past his best, honestly don't know why we signed him, he was never going to pan out.

    The point is, if Emery ever plays him again (and i mean ever) it's proof he's not a good judge of players - in fact it's proof he's not watching the game properly

    No it’s not. It’s a confirmation he has very limited options there.

    Unfortunately that's completely incorrect, if Emery was worried about right back (or indeed CB) he could have got someone on loan last month, he didn't and as he said he was happy with his options in defence, so it's got nothing to do with limited options, it's to do with him thinking Lichsteiner. is up to the job, it's clear to everyone else he isn't and shouldn't have been signed in the 1st place, he's also played AMN there when he can't play there.

    IMO it's because he seems a bit slow to cotton onto things and doesn't spot the obvious.

    Yet he was all too happy to sign a middle of the road player in a position we absolutely do not need at the moment. I'd say Emery is somehwhat misguided.

    Problem with this club is they sign players based on cost rather than need.

    Luckily you're around to point them all out for us. Not sure if that's a blessing or a curse.

    Definitely a blessing.

    We’re pretty shit and I think some of Emery’s decisions have been questionable but he’s really working with scraps here. I don’t think we should come down on him like a ton of bricks just yet.

    We probably only have 3 maybe 4 players that could get into the other teams in the top 6. We need huge investment but it’s just not going to happen.

    The Europa League is where it’s at for us this season. Emery could really lay down a marker for himself and the future if we could somehow win that. I highly doubt we will but that’s got to be the target even more so than 4th.

    It was a poor decision by Emery, Jenkinson is limited but can at least run. Lichsteiner has looked off the pace everytime hes played for us, I don't know what Enery was expecting to happen. We basically played with 10 men today he was that poor.

    It’s the same thing with Ozil - the less they play the more important they seem to become. There is nothing to choose between any of the four options at RB. They’re all pretty bad.
