So Mr Watkins was very vocal on behalf of the team recently regarding atmosphere, fans leaving early etc. Be interesting to see if he uses his platform this evening apologising on behalf of the team? I won't hold my breath.
Really poor that was, Torres and Martinez between them for the goal is pony.
We never looked like cutting them open at any point.
I understand Guessand has just landed back from AFCON but he's absolutely dreadful, between Monchi and Emery they've had an absolute howler signing him. We are very vocal regarding PSR restricting us and it's frustrating but the summer window signing Sancho on a massive wage, Elliot waste of ink on the contract and Guessand we really have to look at ourselves and our recruitment. Everyone will blame Monchi but Emery has final say on the everything football related so he has to take responsibility also for these players lack of impact and contribution.
Malen scored for Roma also just to top it off.

Martinez for the second game in a row, Buendia again light a deer in headlights when starting.
Watkins miss absolutely criminal and Sancho doesn’t give a toss. Looked decent against Chelsea but that maybe because he had a point to prove from last seasons loan they didn’t make permanent.
Time for Unai to work another miracle but can’t see it.

Great win and a great second half response with Emery yet again earning every bit of his wage.
Onana I thought was superb when he came on and got hold of the midfield, Buendia I think we all want it to work and he's provided some superb moments this season for us but in terms of his contribution over 90 mins or however long he plays as a starter he doesn't quite cut the mustard for us. There were many that never covered themselves in glory first half but for such a nice technical footballer he looks so panicked and rushed sometimes and gifts the ball back to the opposition so easily.
Also shout out to McGinn, again another one who was below par today but that last ditch touch 52nd minute proved absolutely vital and stopped them going 2 up and potentially killing the game.
Onwards and upwards to Arsenal. going to be a tough ask but after seeing them against Brighton today they can definitely be got at.

Dan we’ve said the same thing, Buendia much better when coming on as a sub . It’s his energy he brings, when the opposition is tiring, he’s been great, certainly glad he didn’t go to Germany.UTV

Haven’t made it to the game today, I know our atmosphere is bad when I’m sat in the stands but my god it’s even more obvious how bad it is on the tv.
23 Nov 2025 15:03:19
Granted the ref hasn't covered himself in glory for both teams but anyone else fed up of our players waving their arms around like babies anytime a foul isn't given.
Rogers in particular this season has developed this complex he can't be tackled or anything 50/50 has to go his way.
Been a really bad 45 between two teams who look so poor in the final third. Fingers crossed we grab an early goal second half and turn the game on it's head.
1.) 23 Nov 2025 15:47:56
He’s made up for that first half, 2 smashing goals, he’s obviously being practicing that one after going to the bench to see nanny McPhee ??
2.) 23 Nov 2025 16:59:10
Certainly did make up for it. Emery with great substitutions yet again Malen and Barkley both having a hand in the goals.
Considering we were so sloppy it's great to get out with 3 points considering Leeds home record being so strong particularly when scoring first

You are aware Douglas Luiz played for Forest and us in this seasons competition and the rules weren't changed because of Pep
This whole world against Aston Villa act needs to stop

Sterling had one less goal/assist than Diaby last season. Our fans deemed Diaby a quality signing but Sterling is deemed not good enough for us?
19 Aug 2024 18:24:05
Well Felix is off to Chelsea
24 Jul 2024 03:16:53
Let’s be honest Diaby was poor last season, throw the stats at me all you want but I watch football with my eyes and he looked lost most of the time.
I’d say Emery and co have seen we can make a profit and took it and ran. Diabys stats suggest he was a top performer last season and there would be plenty more sniffing round him if that was the case.
Great but of business for me
19 May 2023 23:04:50
The job emery has done is a double-edged sword, yes he's proven the owners have made the correct decision.
But as the astute businessmen our owners are they may well be looking saying hold on unai that £150m you wanted when you joined in November can go on ice here's £75m as you've took this group from 17th to potentially Europe so it can't all be bad from a playing staff perspective.
Not saying that's what's going to happen but let's not all hang our hats on a war chest for a complete overhaul
01 Apr 2026 22:35:48
Let's say we were on to win the league, and Unai pulled the same stunt, I'm sure we'd have no issue with it?
27 Mar 2026 16:34:44
Ultimately our recruitment has to be better.
The likes of Brentford and Sunderland have pulled some cracking players in for minimal fees this season.
For all the great work Unai has done, his talent id is questionable. He's got the best out of a Smith and Gerrard team, but we are 4 years in, and we should be seeing him get the best out of Unai Emery.
Cannot deny we have PSR restrictions, but he's still had £450m to spend, and, let's be honest, it's not been utilised very well.
22 Mar 2026 23:31:50
It was good, but it wasn't our best performance of the season, Buck.
Best performance of the season was playing City off the park for me.
How poor are West Ham. I'd say Spurs, and the others are lucky that West Ham are as bad as they are.
18 Mar 2026 23:07:35
£37.5m for "ok" Maatsen proves my point. Whinges about restrictions, then blows big money on players who haven't made us better overall.
18 Mar 2026 13:02:56
Just an observation, Daz. The fact we still have so many of Smith's players, after Emery has spent £450m, shows just how poor his recruitment has been.
As much as I love Emery, his moaning about PSR seems a touch tainted, considering he's had ample opportunity to improve the squad, and has ultimately failed in the main.
His defeatist attitude is winding me up of late, particularly coming out saying the result Sunday was what he expected. I seem to remember Gerrard getting pelters for saying a similar thing prior to us playing Chelsea.
Emery has done a superb job in his time, but he's not immune to being questioned.
