The one and only critcism that of Emerson is that he doesn't quiet have the attacking quality of a wing back Conte wants... No one is questioning his heart and effort he gives every game. I really like Emerson's energy and enthusiasm he brings to the club a lot. I also think he's a great team mate. Love seeing his celebrations whenever we score a goal. Personally I would love to see him continue to improve and become a regular under Conte.I haven't always understood the hate. Yes he hasn't always performed the best but he's always put the effort in for the shirt, that's what I look for in one of our players. I feel like he actually might end up being a bit of a cult hero but maybe that's the whisky talking.

Had two good chances yesterday so at least he’s listening to Conte’s adviceThe one and only critcism that of Emerson is that he doesn't quiet have the attacking quality of a wing back Conte wants...

No that is not the one and only criticism.
He can’t pass, can’t cross, is a weak defender, has no speed, can’t shoot, is poor positionally unless he is asked to do nothing.
There is no chance he can become good under any manager. He is absolute dog shit.
He is definitely starting to make good runs and get into dangerous positions like Doherty was starting to do in his good run of form before that Villa tramp hacked him out of it.Had two good chances yesterday so at least he’s listening to Conte’s advice

Not sure if already posted
Nobody (besides a moron like Igula) wants Emerson to play poorly. Yesterday he was ok. Still fairly weak offensively even though we played against 10 men most of the game. Did decently defensively but was still beat occasionally, most notably when Woolwich got in behind him and created a cutback chance when they still had 11 on the pitch. Again, wasn’t tested much vs 10.Some people are so darn stupid/ignorant - and so lacking in the ability to self-reflect - that they're not able to see themselves when they're wrong - or at last not admit it. In other words, they're mentally "blind". And that's what some of the most ardent critics of Emerson are.
Some of the Emerson haters rather want Emerson to play badly (even to the detriment of the team) so they can prove their point -and thus keep on harping over how "right" they are - rather than wanting Emerson to play well, as they then will have to eat humble pies.
No, he will most probably never be a top-quality RWB and yes Spurs should be looking at at least 1 new RWB for next season.... but the fact is that Emerson has played solid against 2 top-4 EPL teams 2 games in a row now and should have the Spurs fans cheering him up rather than bringing up the past or pretending to be clairvoyant by "predicting" his run of good games is just luck or coincidential.
Apart from being solid defensively in the 2 last games, he also did make some smart forward runs and got into 2 scoring positions.
