Thanks for sticking the boot in, hope it gets you a few clicks. My apologies to Bernardo Silva, it was a lovely goal in a brilliant game.
Nothing to be baffled about, I misidentified someone and I’m kicking lumps out of myself because I have high standards, but I’ll react well

Emery does all his own video analysis and, during his time at Valencia, gave players USB sticks to watch tactical clips on. He suspected one player never watched them, so gave him a blank USB and then asked him what he’d make of the clips

Hi Sam. Yes, I know how to speak - I also know how to speak to people respectfully
