If this guy could cross a ball or make a decent pass in the final third, then I could forgive him for last night’s ridiculous attempt at a “no look pass". But time and time again he fails to deliver. In fact whenever we get the ball out to him in a wide forward position I expect him to fluff his lines and I don’t even have hope anymore that he will provide a decent ball into the box – and he always proves me right. But not even I would have expected him to get such an easy pass so wrong and to do something so stupid at such a crucial time in the game when every opportunity counted.
I know Djed Spence is unproven at the top level, but I am convinced that he will offer more than Royale.
Royale has got to be dropped now because he thinks he’s better than he is (hence trying a trick that should be left for the Messi’s and Ronaldhino’s of the world) and by making him practically our number one choice at RWB, Conte is making his head swell.
I’m hearing rumours that Spence might be loaned out in January. If this is because we’re gonna sign a quality RWB then fair enough, but if it means we’re gonna be left with Royale and Doherty, then I’ll be livid.
Emerson Royale – No Look Pass

I actually think Royal links up well with Kulusevski but without Kulusevski, he does nothing going forward.
Doherty, although used sparingly this season has looked far more of a goal threat.
Would like to see Spence.

Brilliantly done by Emerson

He’d be a good RB, just not good enough to be a RWB

If we had a defence of Royal, Doherty and Trent Alexander Arnold, I'm convinced Trent would also be the one out in the cold. Now that's staggering given his talent but Conte is so pre-occupied with defensive stability, he's utterly blind to what players offer going forward. Our wingbacks have 3 centre halves and two deep lying midfielders to cover them so they should only be picked for their attacking abilities, not how robust they are at the back.
It's part of the reason why Conte is beginning to really frustrate the fan base. He's got to take a shackles off a bit but he won't. If we want to do that, we need someone else in charge.

To be fair to Emerson, Barca paid £7mil for him 6 weeks before we paid £30mins for him.
But yeah, “Don” Paraticci

Paratici has been getting away with it for ages now. I'm surprised he's not under more scrutiny for the duds he's signed. Although Gil looked more promising last night.

Cos he was a joint signing between Betis and Barcelona, which he was to play for Betis and Barcelona could sign him for that low fee when they wanted.
