Quite the opposite actually, if anything Emo was one of our most underrated players, because most of the fans rate only the players who can create offensively and offer spectacle jiggling with the ball and they tend to underestimate the importance of defensive wise players!
Their efficiency and the crucial role they have on making the difference and winning a game! Emo held our midfield all alone many times over, he protected our CBs and cleared Blasi's and other incompetent player's mess.
We hadnt had such an impressive and efficient DM since Davids!
EMO was a fine component in world class team!!
Every team need such a player, even the Brazilian NT!
You are missing the point again, it wasnt EMO's fault,we had our creativity problems,
if Emo had a Zidanne instead of a Blasi in his side we wouldnt have any creativity problems. Emerson's job was to winn balls and he was excellent doing that!
Quietly and effectively, exactly as he should!
His impact was visible quite away in our defensive department and he was one of the reasons, we had the best Defense in Europe, by the first day he joined us!
His support was essential!
Our tactical plan, the long ball and the second DM, are not his decisions, or fault,
you cant blame him for anything, he did his job flawlessly, out tactician though, didnt...
I ve been saying this for years and years, but unfortunately, our coaches dont think alike...
Unfortunately we are stacked with the ultra defensive 4-4-2 and to make matters even worse, we have to rely on our old wingers to do all the creativity job for us.
I suffer watching Juve been punished on the field, because of this tactical approach, but make no mistake, this is not a player's fault. This is 100% the coaches fault!!
Instead of changing or formation adding an AMF and finding solution to the problem that haunts us for years, they preferred to find quick fixes around it.
Adding Amauri, a forward who can draw back to create, helping himself and Giovinco to gradually replace Neddy as a winger...
Unfortunately this is our future, this is our coach and this is our board...
I think we all angry on that, but this is not our choice to make...:faq1:
Due to the fact that they decided not to upgrade our defense and they brought useless defenders to help an already extremely weak defense, we have no option, than to field two ball winners to make up for our main weakness!
