I am sorry but he shouldn’t not get a free pass today on starting Davies and Emerson it’s a diabolical choice, up there with poch putting son at LWB

Yes, as poor as Dier is he doesn’t get beaten in the air for that first goal, he’s also probably tighter on that second one.
so you’d have preferred Dier, give over.

this.Jan and next summer and next season we will be much stronger and more consistent.
Performances are beautiful but these injuries have absolutely killed us.
Proud and over the moon with Ange.

Who do you propose playing CB? Your statement sounds a bit reactionary and your comparison is weak at best.

Fair mate but then he probably gets caught out of position at other times, tbh it’s a moot point, Dier, Emerson, Davies at CB are all not up to it, that needs to be addressed in January and summer to help Ange.

How he managed to get that performance out of that rag tag thrown together XI, I'll never know. Compared to Wolves that was chalk and cheese.

For long periods over the last 20 years our buying strategy and coherence has been a big problem. There have certainly been positive signs over the last couple of years.
I loved the way we played today. We played some really great stuff.
We weren't clinical enough and were sloppy with staying onside but the signs are just so positive.
Get a few players back and a good January window and our style of play will provide great performances and results.

The issue wasn’t playing them at CB, it was exposing them non-stop by giving them no help from either full back. I love Ange but he’s naive if he thinks teams won’t target the vacant space our inverted fullbacks are leaving.

True. But he'd have also got caught out against our quick players and we'd have let goals in elsewhere.

Maybe, but I’d forgive him if he had thrown Dorrington in but we all know with Davies what we get an average footballer doing dumb average things

Yeah but I've at least watched our games this season.
Last season I was so bored I missed loads of games.

Bentancur, Porro and Lo Celso played well but Kulu was brilliant today. Didn't deserve to be on the losing team.
Likely to be 4 losses in a row. I didn't hate what Ange did today, I just think Dorrington would not have done any worse than Davies or Emerson and easier to blood in at home than away to City. Now we are likely to see the same back 4 as today against City and Bentancur-less.

Disagree on Emerson and Skipp. Too young to know whether they can transistion to such a different style of play. Davies is still a good back up to have as well as a positive force in the dressing room.

Just like his great defending against Wolves.
Give over, Ange is not to blame for the club having 2 first team quality centre backs.
Thought Emerson was pretty good
