Ha! You think that would matter? Look at what Emery did with Torreira. He tried to take a really good deep-lying midfielder with 4 goals in 77 appearances and make him a goal scoring threat. When it didn’t work, he ghosted him. He had Aubameyang, Ozil, Lacazette, Leno, Cech. Hardly an EFL Championship team.

Emery is a phenomenal manager and all these discussions below about what Pep would have done with Aston Villa or where Emery would have been with City are completely pointless since they are based on “What ifs” and nothing more.

Okay, what would have Emery done at Arsenal?
