I really, really disagree strongly that we've currently got a clear philosophy.
We're pressing, but only a little, and not in a very co-ordinated way. We pressed better under Wenger.
We try to pass out from the back with a keeper that clearly struggles with it, resulting in more long ball than you'd expect.
We've got two players occupying the '10' space, and neither are comfortable drifting wider.
Here are Ozil's stats this year, which show that he's been basically ineffectual in comparison to usual output;
Bellerin is doing it all on his own down the right because there is a giant gap where Mkhi would usually be, while Monreal gets help from Auba on the left. It's ridiculous to blame Bellerin for letting in players behind when he's supposed to be covering the entire pitch. Either a midfielder drops in behind him or we play Mkhi instead of Ramsey or Ozil.
We've got one of the best strikers in the world playing on the wing, at about 50% effectiveness.
It's all over the place, for mine. The only reason we haven't been rolled is because of Cech and flashes of brilliance from our bigger players. Emery is being pragmatic for the moment as he realises he perhaps doesn't have the players to play exactly how he would like.
Look at Chelsea and Sarri - that is a clear philosophy, and they've had less time to implement it. Of course, he also inherited a team who recently won the title, so it's an unfair comparison - but still.
Against Everton specifically, they created more big chances than us, and purely based on stats should've won.
On the positive side, we're playing pretty poorly but still winning. Of course, we've won against mostly poor sides, but no game is easy - Watford will be a real test.
