I saw a toothless first half whilst two forwards being paid a combined £600k per week (who also combined twice to win our last fixture) were sat on the bench. Finally brought on with only 20mins to go to try and save the day.
Hang on. Pau out. Cash out. Mings out. Bouba out. Barkley out. Onana out. Losing Emi. New player who's played 1 match for us in defence. Bogarde having to move about. No changes possible in midfield. Youri not getting any rest. How many games in a few days?
No. They aren’t.
We had a back 4, he decided to go with a 5. Inexcusable.
Two players who combined to turn our last game around stay on bench until 65th minute.
Emery is a god but got it all wrong today.
I am not against criticising Emery by the way. But under the circumstances he was having to fit round pegs in square holes, so probably thought it was the best way to try and solidify.

You want to just run them into the ground and turn them into 600k to sit on the bench injured?
Good job. 👍
Injuries aren't an excuse?

Why not go with Malen who has not only looked sharp in his handful of cameos but also can’t play in the upcoming CL fixtures?
I’m by no means Emery out, but so much of yesterday was quite frankly baffling.
Feels like over thinking. Players didn’t seem comfortable and didn’t play to strengths.
Bogarde is a holding midfielder, play him there with either Tielemans or McGinn.
And you can't just throw Rashy and Asensio into every minute of every game they're up to match fitness yet and we're playing a lot of games.
Pau. Mings. Emi. Bouba. Cash. Barkley. Onana.
