Should take the hit if he continues with this rubbish form. Doesn't inspire me with any confidence when I watch him. Still looks like there's no communication between him & the back 4. Can see the uncertainty when the ball goes into the box, not sure if he's going to come out of his line or not.
If we're not going to get rid then we need to sign a backup that will actually provide competition for his spot as currently he can get away with anything knowing he's playing the next game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah this might be the way to go. Lots of clubs have two prime keepers so no reason we shouldn't. As things stand he knows that he's not getting dropped for 40 year old Caballero.
If we settled on Reece zooms Rudi & Emerson, I see him being a whole lot better overall...he's still young mind...keepers improve with age
Difficult to settle on a back 4 atm. Emerson has not been that good so gets rotated with Azpi. RJ 1st season in the prem so again will be rotated here and there.
If we had a settled centre back pairing that'd be fine. Rudiger & Zouma were not very good vs Bournemouth, some really bad passing with the ball at their feet.
It's probably why we've been linked Ake. Him & Rudiger on paper look like a partnership that will compliment each other.

No
There can never be two decent yank footballers at once
It would cause a singularity
What a maroon. Two is double, not single.

Who did we sign instead in that window ?. We never seem to get Jan windows quite right.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
God what a player he turned out to be. imagine him and costa up front we'd be the most hated club of all time.

Anyone else want Kepa gone in the summer if he doesn't improve?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviously if he doesn't improve. But ddg was awful for two years in the pl. Atleast kepa was good last year. And has kept us in games this season. I've only sat there and thought "wow he should have saved that" two or three times this season. The main worry obviously being his wrists (new coaching technique?trying to palm it round posts?) and hes started making silly errors which he didn't do last year. If he doesn't improve, will need to be looked at.

Emerson not been that good? mahrez cut in against him once, otherwise he's been class this season imo. one of my outstanding players. The miss at the weekend was woeful though
Nick I'm with you on Emerson. Think he's probably been one of our better players this season. Not perfect and has made the odd mistake but so has everyone else in our back five. Seems that fans like to dig out Emerson more though.

Not for me Nick....beter than Alonso? Yes most certainly.
Anything special...for me , nothing to write home about at all...crossing has been pants, shooting also pants...we need much better than that i feel
But if we sell Emerson then Nick won't be able to perv at Emerson's wife at games anymore

Haha mate she is facking stunning. Follow her on Instagram and all sorts now. But no I honestly rate Emerson. Think if given a full season he could be top class.

I think he's been good, been unlucky with a few shots. Great athleticism. "usually" good in one on ones, gives us good balance, good on the ball.
I would rather us see how he gets on with a good run till end of the season now rather than buy in jan.
He's been 'Adequate' in my opinion Nick, LB is definitely the big weak link in the team for me!
Think he's a decent squad player but we can do better at LB. It's just because we were so used to seeing such garbage in Alonso at LB, anyone else looks like a huge improvement on him.
Emerson is quite injury prone too so definitely need to strengthen in that position in either January or the summer depending on who's available.

Really? over CB?
Emerson has been better overall than any of our cbs, back up strikers, and was better than azpi early in the season.
In regards to alonso, lets not forget he was very good for us for a good few years, it was only 6 months or so that, like ivanovic, he fell of a cliff. If he's injury prone than I can see why we are looking for replacements. Aslong as its not flipping chillwell.
