We are exposed on the wings and we let Wolves run at us all day. Why is Torreira playing so far up the pitch??? He is at his best deeper but I see him jogging back unsure whether he needs to drop deeper or stay further up. We are being outshot and wolves should be level. Hoping we get the points but I am very very uncomfortable with this game.
If we play to form (poor, negative second half), we wont win this.
I'd like to go 4-2-3-1. Torreira and Guendouzi deep with Ozil at #10. And Ceballos pushed further up. Sub one of Ozil or Ceballos around the hour mark for Pepe and let's see what we can do.
Poor performance still

Yeah been poor again. Emery seems obsessed with playing Torreira further up

Why Torreira is being played like this by Emery is totally baffling. He may as well not be on the pitch. Why cant Emery see this. He is a defensive midfielder end off. Look what happened to Chelsea when they tried to do this with Kante. It dose not work. Can someone tell him.

To be fair Kante is still pretty good in an advanced position
Torreira isn't

Torreira is not a defensive midfielder. Never was in the first place.
The only silver lining so far, is that we finally have a Head Coach who's realised this. This means that the transfer team can finally pull their finger out and prioritise this position in the next window.
