Isn't that fair? The 1-2 mins that he actually played this season he looked way better than Royal , hence the questions
Ok. Let’s flip this game, you psycho
Find me a worst right back than Royal. In the top five leagues in England. Go, I’ll wait
You mean the 10 minute appearance ?
The 10 minutes where he had zero tackles, zero blocks, zero clearances, zero passes and in fact touched the ball zero times.
You mean that appearance ?
In fairness, it would take some serious effort to be worse. Like, he'd probably have to saw off his leg or something.
That's not the issue you fool
The issue is "Is Spence better than Emerson"
Just because Emerson is the worst RB in the top 5 leagues (ridiculous notion btw*) doesn't mean that Spence is better.
When you're 5th choice RWB , and the club only has 3 RBs , there's an issue.
He can’t pass a ball or control it. It’s a hard no from me. His tackling is ok and he’s ok defensively granted but he is so poor on the ball. Spence can’t be worse, facts
Yeah I agree tbh. Something is not going well in a big way with Spence. Maybe on the training pitch he's just not getting it positionally in this system.
No way he gets these kind of minutes with the RWB's we have if he was doing even competently in training.
We weren't watching the same game then, he definitely had a few touches
When the argument to support Emerson is 'but our other players could be worse' you know it ain't good.
Now that's fairer.
Also to be fair, Conte primary concern is defence even at the expense of attack.
So maybe Emerson is better defensively than Spence ?
Only those at the club truly know
Well I’ve seen him play football before and he’s miles better than this absolute donkey we have playing for us at the moment
When the argument to play someone is "he can't be any worse" you're on very shaky ground.
Especially when it's all supposition.
Everyone is better. Anyone.
Yeah but we have eyes. So we can watch, and assess.
The reason I think my intuition is right, is that at times when watching Emerson, I actually wish I had no eyes.
You've seen him play 10 minutes in the PL where he didn't touch the ball.
Absolute bollocks.
You and I are worse, and that's just off the top of my head.
