Player Watch: Emerson Royal

[Johnny J]

I really wonder if AC wanted another right wing back in the summer and got Spence instead

I think ITK have alluded to Conte wanting but not getting a good RWB this summer.

 

[spurs mental]

I'm still fuming over the no look pass from Wednesday night

 

[aliyid]

All together now…

He can’t defend
He can’t attack
Emerson Royal is our wingback

 

[wspur]

Yep this was Emerson's fault, he's killing all our attacks. The tactics are perfect otherwise.

 

[SlotBadger]

He’s been very poor recently but that was a genuinely good performance (minus the chance they should have scored in the last couple of minutes)

 

[Stamford]

He was brilliant. He should get the praise when he does well. Buzzing for him

 

[DarwinSpur]

Bloke's been battered by Spurs "fans" more than I can remember any player being vilified.

Well we saw tonight - just like we saw against United - just what he brings to an already shaky fucking backline. We were a complete mess in both those games defensively.

He came on tonight and did his fucking job and we were so much better for it.

He's not world class and never will be. Do we need better? Yes.

But my god we are worse for it at the moment every time he's not on the pitch.

Apart from the general sense of confusion between him and Dier over that Kolasinac header, he did just fine.

He can't possibly be held at fault for that - he was blocked off while 3 on 1 ffs ?

 

[Athenspur]

He earned himself a start for the Liverpool match, didn't he.

 

[Kingellesar]

Yep credit where its due he came on and helped balance the team, who would have thought a rwb playing at rwb would help the balance of the team.

 

[mil1lion]

Man if this guy was better in attack he would actually be so good. He gets forward well and with Kulusevski holding the ball better than Moura will get even more chances.

 

[BigVic]

Good shift tonight from him.

 

[Finchyid]

He can't possibly be held at fault for that - he was blocked off while 3 on 1 ffs ?

And dier just marked himself

 

[DarwinSpur]

He earned himself a start for the Liverpool match, didn't he.

Depends on where Doherty is at really. I like Doherty going forward and like Emerson for defensive. But Doch seems on the out again...

 

[muppetman]

Did well tonight I thought

 

[bat-chain]

Our fan base need to cut him some serious slack, good Performance.

That last sentence is completely bollox mate. Sorry. Maybe for tonight only but definitely not for other games.

Last game alone, we instantly became a hugely better team esepcially on the right when he left.

Not battering him tonight, he played well, but boy that statement of yours cannot be any more wrong.

He was replaced on the right by Sessegnon who did okay but as we saw tonight is hopelessly exposed in that position. So why did we improve after 63 minutes when Royal was replaced?

it was because we had scored by that time so an already tiring Bournemouth we're stepping off us to conserve their lead.

He's a scapegoat. He's not the reason for us being shit and not the reason for us being world class.

That's my point. The narrative around him is utterly ridiculous as we saw tonight. Same fans slagging his subbing on disappearing like the cowards they are when he plays fine and we play well.

He gets credit now when he doesnt make a complete mess of things. Yes he did well tonight, but lets not blow it out of all proportion, he is still inept going forward and in the Conte wing back style he will never be good enough, wouldnt trust him as far as I could throw him.
