You don't know, I don't know, so why assume and act like you know when you don't. That's facts homie!!! You're whiney like a woman after one game, chill out sucka!
I think it's pretty clear he picked the team, Emery wasn't playing Kolasinac or Mustafi, the team he picked wasn't the one playing before so why would they get confused, that makes no sense.
He's been working with them all season so he would know the players, I think you're clutching at straws pal, he was a great player but that doesn't make him a good manager.
It's not clutching at straws, I hate when people overreact about one game and then pretend to know everything the manager did. We need squad rotation right now, it's not far fetched to think Emery had the game already planned out, wanted to incorporate a few new players. Maybe Freddie didn't want to disrupt cause he didn't have enough time. YOU DON'T KNOW. Freddie may have very well picked that team, and it did suck I agree, but some are giving up on him after one game, it's mind boggling stupid.
I'm not giving up, I don't want him in charge, he's not really qualified to manage a big club. Let him sharpen his skills at a smaller club and then see how he gets on, we need a guy who has been there an done it not a novice, for me he's just here until we find someone else, which is hopefully soon.
Let's not delude ourselves that he's the next Guardiola or Mourinho, those success stories are one in a million and it's very, very, very unlikely Ljungberg is that one let's face it. We seem to be hung up on discovering the next big thing, trouble is we never do, other clubs do.
