Emerson however have shown more of a tendency to pop up in the box and attempt goal scoring opportunities than what Ryan does. Not to mention being a good defender.
Neither guy are perfect but both also get a fair bit of unfair criticism.
Neither are good enough as starters but Sess is HG so could serve as a decent backup. Doherty is a better WB than Emerson so I can't see anything but new RWB + Emerson out in the summer.
Come on he is still an absolute liability attacking wise I’m sorry. He’s been good enough defensively to close out the season but he is still the number one player out this summer for me
Doherty was really good before his injury so I am interested in seeing how he comes back from it.
If Doherty comes back fully fit I think that we should loan Emerson out next season and get another RWB in.
Emerson is clearly a good fullback. So having him on loan for a season to see how the Conte saga goes or not could be smart. If Conte leaves after next season when his contract expires we may end up getting a manager that wants more traditional fullbacks. And Emerson could be brought back into the fold.
Yeah let's just loan out a 30m asset rather than cash in just in case we get a manager who wants a right back who can't cross in 2022.
Sell Royal, he's nowhere near good enough and if he gets in good attacking positions is just cause the teams now he's shite and wont't produce shit all once he's there. Everyone know that our most dangerous attacking area is the left, the teams are just forcing us play from the right cause nothing will happen with Royal there and once Moura is playeing with him is even worse.
He does well defensively most week to be fair to him but the attacking qualities are just not there.
Cash in, in the summer for me
It's causing oppo some major issues. Kulu stays wide, with Emmerson coming in off the wing into midfield, oppo LB/LWB then has a large amount of space to cover/mark between the two.
Much like Davies at LB he does ok, not good not great, defensively when he has very little area to cover/responsibility.
The issue is this causes other players to have to compensate and the opposition given free space that a competent defender would contest.
Combined with his zero impact in attack it just shows how much he limits us and makes others do his job as well as theirs.
And Dejan loves that space to cut into and fire shots/ping balls in from. He scored a lot from that area in Italy.
We should get or money back, he has been decent defensively recently.
I mean not giving away a penalty every five games is something.
But ya we haven’t improved the position since Trippier.
He’s solid defensively but I wouldn’t say great. He’s aggressive so he wins the ball a bit but also gets beat quite a bit.
