I appreciate everybody is trying to jump down Emery’s throat over everything for very good reasons but he’s not wrong here. The idea that the deepest midfielder is critical to your buildup is normal, and Torreira’s distribution has gotten worse over his time at the club https://twitter.com/arseblognews/status/1198020525106311168">https://twitter.com/arseblogn...

Since a lot of people are going to make this point, my take is that Emery is saying he’s unwilling to play Torreira deep because he’s not passing well enough in training and when played in other parts of the pitch. And he’s right on the latter, so fair enough.
