Was reflecting on the game late last night and the way it sums it up best for me, is one team who were afraid to lose versus one team not good enough to win
I really, really despise this bu.llshit of going to these teams and playing afraid - I cannot get past the game plan he used against the victims when he played 4 narrow midfielders to crowd what is in reality the weakest part of their team, and left the wings open for their most dangerous players
Yesterday he played a midfield with no creativity as if they were a team, and a midfield to be feared
He, for someone absolutely baffling reason, plays Torreira at the tip of the midfield 3 when he is an excellent CDM - it did seem that he was man marking Pogba in the first half, but he still isn't the man to play that advanced position. The French cock was rightly bashed for years for not altering his tactics based on the opposition, but emery is altering them to the white flag status, and against a shite manure side, that should be unacceptable imo
Auba finished his goal excellently yesterday, but lets reign in on this sucking on his knob - he was put clean through on goals 1 v 1 with de gea so it wasn't like it was a great piece of skill or goal poaching, but he still took his chance well. He never looked like scoring another goal and nor did he create much either, but I will say that he worked a lot harder for the team last night and I was well happy with his performance
