Soon as maginn went off we started looking vulnerable in midfield, luckily my pager went off after 25 mins so I missed the rest of the game,

Not going to get too low as we are in the main having a superb season.
It just frustrates me when Watkins comes out having a dig at the fans recently on behalf of the squad yet they churn that out tiday.
I personally am perplexed regarding our recruitment strategy, I understand we can't just spend what we want when we want but as a club we have got our recruitment horrendously wrong this season and I think it may start to tell the deeper we go into the season.
Monchi will get the blame and don't get me wrong he's got to shoulder responsibility for sure but Unai runs the show and has final say on all football related matters and between them signing Elliot, Sancho and Guessand we've self harmed with PSR massively.
Then this window up to now we've signed shall we say prospects for the years ahead but seem to have no sense of urgency to assist us in the here and now.

Sorry you know UE has the final say on everything, how? What's the based on?
When Monchi was sacked it was written in a number of places that Emery was provided a list of players and he'd mark next to the ones he liked the best/ wanted the most? Didn't suggest anything like him having the final say kind of actually implies the opposite.
There's a list of targets and who we get in is almost a lottery based on finances and other deals.
Guessand could've been 9th on a list of 10 for all we know, it seems baseless and wild to imply he was managers choice.

I know because our structure was released fairly recently and Monchi and now Olabe report into Emery not the other way round.
When Emery is linked elsewhere by the media a sizeable chunk of our fanbase including yourself I'd imagine use the excuse "why would he go when he has full control of everything"
When there's a recruitment issue that doesn't work out the narrative changes to "Monchis fault"
Can't have it both ways unfortunately.
The guys been absolutely unreal for us and we wouldn't be where we are without him but he makes mistakes.
Emery paid crazy money at Arsenal for Pepe so let's not act like he gets everything right.
