What they're saying

"
Rob: I think when they arrive and first train, they are identified as not being 'Emery fit' so they have to train a lot to get fitter to get a good run. It makes me think that Taylor Harwood-Bellis must be nowhere near 'Emery fit' and that's why he wasn't in any of the squads so far. Played well against PSG, Arsenal and beat Club Brugge, plus a draw against Hull and they are flying.
