He’s certainly not doing a fairly decent job.He isn't a RWB though. He's a right back that's being played out of position doing a fairly good job. I don't actually disagree with a lot of the points, he certainly isn't the best player but we kinda live in a world where a player either has to be amazing or rubbish. You can't just have a standard player anymore. Matt Doherty was someone who has shown that being played in the correct position (RWB) helps a hell of a lot compared to being played at RB. Emerson doesn't actually put in many poor performances so I don't know why it gets built up about him getting rinsed in this game.
I remember when Emerson played his first game against Crystal Palace, he'd only been here for about 3 days and was thrown in at the deep end. We lost 3-0 and he was dubbed the worst signing ever.
His inability on the ball, in terms of both progressing it and passing quality is so bad. It’s not PL level that’s for sure.
He’s a decent 1 on 1 defender, but in the modern day (even as a RB) it’s insufficient.
Regardless, the wing back positions are as important as any in this Conte system, and the reality is Emerson is one of the worst players in the pitch every single time he’s deployed there.
