He lost us the game today, no idea why Emery played him.

No he didn’t.

He bottled it for the first goal, we were done after that.

And output. Diaby’s output of 19 goal involvements was sniffed at by some, Philogene will be lucky to get 3 at the moment.

I was definitely too harsh on Diaby last season. Always learning.

He had 14 in the league. After 13 games he had 3 goals and 3 assists, in the same number of games Rogers has got 2 goals and 3 assists.

I thought he was really decent last season, even when his form dipped, he was still a threat. He could go unnoticed and then come up with something. I was excited to see him push on this season so I was gutted we lost him.

We haven’t replaced him. Rogers should have been an addition not a replacement. Two very different players.

Yep, I’m not proposing to swap him for Rogers though. He enabled us to stretch play, which we can’t do now.

I personally loved him. I was gutted when we sold him. Such a exciting player to watch. Was watching that legia game at home all you have to do is see that game to see what he added.

Gutted 😔

At the moment he is looking like a competition winner sadly

It's like that time on Only Fools and Horses when Rodney won a kids' colouring competition and had to go on holiday pretending to be 10 years old. Only Jaden's pretending (and failing) to look like a Premier League footballer.

Hands up, i had high hopes for this lad but he just does not looking Prem quality , looks frail and weak physically too as evidenced in goal 1 today . Shame

[usav]

The goal was not about physicality, it was about a poor first touch.  However, your conclusion is right that he’s just not good enough.

It's not your job to scout the players Tim, don't worry about it.

[LeonW]

He’s not going to make it at a decent premier league level with his decision making; far too slow and often wrong. Difficult to change and he isn’t technically good enough or physically strong enough to compensate for it.

[Villatillidie25]

Emery and his team are right on lots of things but Philogene is one they’ve got badly wrong. inexplicable, given he played for us before and they had first hand experience of him. He's just awful. Bailey is clearly going through a tough spot but just play him through it or try something else entirely (Mcginn or Buendia right). Just don’t play Philogene.
