Looking to the next game perhaps.
The Ozil substitution was just stupid and Lacazette is gonna want out if he keeps getting pulled off. Laca has better all round play compared to PEA and even though the latter is one of my favourite players at the club, he is guilty of wasting many chances.
Overall, we looked short of creativity and taking Ozil off just killed it. Guendouzi is not ready and holds onto the ball way too long.
If we escape Anfirld with a draw, I'll be over the moon
We should only ever start two of Xhaka, Guendouzi and Torreira in midfield. Complete lack of creativity there and in the end our best defensive midfielder (Torreira) ended up having to be the one dragged out of position in order to cover the gaps between midfield and our attack. Mindnumbing how often Xhaka was stood on Koscielnys toes today.
Bizarre decisions by Emery. If he had one eye on Liverpool then he's let us down, it's always better to get the points in bag.
Transfer window opens next week, fingers crossed we're actively. Our bench looked woeful this evening.

It is done to protect a back 4 missing 3 starters. Also why he plays 3 at the back. Kola isn't a full back, Kos isn't fit or able, Licht and AMN are cover.

That's his role in the formation.

Played his best XI available including 2 players a booking away from a ban and both our strikers.

You seriously think Guendouzi is better than Ramsey? Emery seems overly defensive to me
Different players. Emery has almost exclusively used Ramsey as a second striker, clearly doesn't rate him as a midfielder.
41 goals from 19 games doesn't suggest an overly defensive manager!
Well you do have two great strikers, particularly Aubameyang
But I feel it's unnecessary to play 3 defensive minded midfielders against the likes of Burnley and Brighton
