Lucas Torreira

[Godlop]

Why does emery keep subbing him off

Because Torreira is not Nzonzi.

[Ach]

Wasn't this his first start? Looked tired.

[rewb1]

xhaka has more presence even though he is prone to mistakes. I think xhaka will continue to be ahead in the pecking order.

[ag6789]

And w/Xhaka on we'll continue to lose or draw winnable games!!

[jayramfootball]

Thought he did ok today.. no idea why Emery took him off and left Xhaka on.

XHAKA... Trying to SLIDE into SON's DM's

He's supposed to be a DM,

but we all know he's a box to box midfielder meant for the Retirement League, that Someone bought & Re-Purposed his position,

Instead of Getting a REAL DM... Like Torreira!

Well done Emery....ZERO INJURIES

& Ozil played well! 350k Validated!

We go foward to the January Transfer window... more Deadwood SHALL be removed!

Hes not fully fit yet.

I Hope to GOD thats why...but the way he RUNS off.... [ Complete OPPOSITE to Ozil..who played well today by the way ]

He looks Fit AF by now, That was more tactical, bring of THE DM to bring on THE AM!

[Zanatos3]

Emery is Heightist!
Discriminating against Torreira because he's not 6ft6...IDIOT!
Kante & Torreira are the BEST DM's in the EPL...Kante the best in the world!
& they both vertically 'Challlenged' but Skillful AF!!! Emery needs a checkUP!

You think anyone would leave MESSI out because he's 'not tall enough' for the midfield?

Everyone wants Xhaka off but i think Emery will bring on Ceballos for Torreira at half time.

Wasn't at half time but that was his first sub. Looked very weak today and got bullied by Tottenham players.

I don't really know what people saw in him that justified not subbing him.

[VCC]

I am at the stage of hoping xhaka gets a knock so Emery is forced to play an alternative and hope he gets to see a better performance

[Est83]

A definite starter for me.

Thats because Potch KNOWS he's our Best Player! THE ONLY ONE that would

1) Win the Ball &
2) Create a defense Splitting pass in SECONDS!!!
OR
3) Move the ball forward & lay an assist
OR
4) Move the ball Forward, DRIBBLE PAST PLAYERS & Shoot..Score even!

So Potch told his players! to DOUBLE UP & TRIPLE UP on Torreira!
If you look back at the match you'll see them surrounding him, Isolating him Because they were obviously told to!

Just like if any inferior side were playing against Messi! [ Forget Barca...MESSI!]

Every Coach would tell his players to 'CROWD HIM OUT!' , 'Double up on him!' , 'Don't let him Cross or Shoot!'

[StLGooner]

A definite starter for me.

Same. The man is a bulldog.

[immsun]

What did Emery tell him to do? Has been made a Clown this season. Looks lost and ineffective
