Their 3rd goal was *******s and any handball appeals are laughed off

[PSRB]

It was quite disappointing in the end. Mainly because we actually looked ok at 1-1. Even carried some sort of threat before halftime . Oh well.

High points:
Not losing by 5 or 6
Some of Torreria’s tackles
Scoring from a near post flick on at the corner

Low points:
Our defending
Emery’s coat
That Suarez chap looking decidedly lightweight and timid

Guen and LT were both excellent, if only we had an additional midfielder, say a No.10 to provide that extra bit guile......

Need to move on.

When we see the manager unleash Suarez with about 1 days training ahead of the German then we have to accept he is not in the plans and will be exiting the club this summer.

Do you think it's partly about proving that he's in charge? For him to come in and tell the two key first team players (Ramsey and JW) that the contracts that had been agreed were off the table & then also bench/drop Ozil completely suggests to me that it's as much a power thing than simply not rating these players.

No idea but would seem a little childish if so.

He was 100% correct in what he did to Wilshere and just as a matter of accuracy he did not withdraw any contract, he simply informed JW that he would not be in his immediate team plans and as such the player took the decision to move on. I now read he is banjaxed again and likely to miss the rest of the season.

The Ramsey decision was made by all parties at the club and was not just a decision of Emery.

Ozil a bit more of a conundrum but who knows what is happening behind the scenes. If for example the German has not bought into the Emery vision of play then the manager is correct in his course of action. The big issue with Ozil is his cost to the club. This is not an issue of Emery's making.

Better to let Ozil leave for a nominal fee/free so that another club takes on his wages, imho. Nobody is going to pay big bucks for him and then chuck him £350k a week.
