    I'm one of those who thought he was never going to make it at Villa but glad to be proven wrong. However he did also admit he struggled with injuries in his time since joining... Unai Emery has improved so many players who were struggling for direction, tactical awareness etc under Smith and then that fool Gerrard only made them worse. Amazing that Bailey is keeping Diaby out now.

    Yeah, his behaviour at Villa Park last season was awful...total spoilt baby. I hope Emery gets the Villa players fired up for this one.

    Unai Emery

    Zhan_Zhuang replied to PeterSw's topic in Villa Talk

    In the year Unai Emery has been at Villa he must be one of if not THE best managers in football. The record is immense and Villa just dominated in every statistic the best team in World Football.

    Villa's best start to a League season since 1980/81.... Just saying, beat Arse and we are in the mix for sure.

    The News.. Marshall McLuhan (below) was correct when he presented his theory in 1964: "The medium is the message."
  6. Zhan_Zhuang
    Sure, titles aren't awarded in December (obvious) yet it is about consistency. At home and under current form Villa must have confidence against all teams.
  7. Zhan_Zhuang
    Probably kissing the ring of a Saudi prince too...
  8. Zhan_Zhuang
    Not at all... Simply put he isn't a Villa player anymore so it isn't a necessity to support, like him or subjectively plaud him at every turn like some... What he did was Delph-like, he was labelled a snake but some defend Greal-hiss for similar actions and it is a hypocrisy.
  9. Zhan_Zhuang
    By the cut of their jib some VT posters would seem rather happy about Greal-hiss scoring against Villa.
  10. Zhan_Zhuang
    Agreed. Diaby no question, I think it's why he was rested at the weekend...although I'm aware Emery denied it.
  11. Zhan_Zhuang
    Tim has the physique, so potentially yes he can. Hopefully that is being worked on behind the scenes but he needs matches, difficult situation for him and Villa.
  12. Zhan_Zhuang
    Martinez consistently saves the Villa, defence has been a bit iffy of late. But yeah some saves from him again....
  13. Zhan_Zhuang
    Unai Emery is selecting a team out of necessity, I can see the reasons for this. He has to trust his method and as he says: "creating an identity". Emery often looks energetic on the touchline but he seemed almost agitated today, Villa looked to be playing well within themselves. Perhaps why we struggled a little to dominate the game. Villa need to step up though for the next two games, at home and under the lights I'm hopeful they will.
  14. Zhan_Zhuang
    Looks off the pace, lacks confidence. And for a big strong guy falls over alot... Hope he improves but again he's playing out of necessity I guess.
  15. Zhan_Zhuang
    What a finish, absolutely wonderful goal. The pass from Torres, great cross from Diaby and top class header. Watkins obviously not fully fit but still a threat.
  16. Zhan_Zhuang
    I voted Conference League but really there is an argument for any of the three options. Hopefully we win the Conference League AND qualify for the Champions League; pretty sure unai Emery is targeting both.

    Matty Cash

    Zhan_Zhuang replied to paul514's topic in Villa Talk

    Yeah the one-off really was a great moment, completely opened Legia up on that right side... I thought he played quite well to be fair.
  18. Zhan_Zhuang
    I disagree, thought he showed skill and power when holding the ball up against their CB who was intent on fouling him. His speed at tracking back and the sliding tackles were wonderful, got the crowd going too every time he did it. Yes still raw but definitely a player there in Durán.
  19. Zhan_Zhuang
    Olsen did well and was pretty decent with the ball at his feet. Not even Dibu could have stopped their goal.
  20. Zhan_Zhuang
    Also rhymes with Penis which is something he always has to live with!

    Seen some terrible abuse from their fans on social media particularly directed against Matty Cash. Pretty certain the law should be looking into this; there are threats to his family, himself and comments attributed to the second world war and genocide of his family. It's actually unbelievable some of things people are writing...
  22. Zhan_Zhuang
    Always disliked them, actually hate them now... PSG should really have won the game with all the chances.
  23. Zhan_Zhuang
    I don't think we need to take that risk; by all means if the match is well won then bring them both on for thirty minutes at the end of the game.
  24. Zhan_Zhuang
    Great move for all concerned, Villa family and hopefully Emery is here long-term. How about a pre-season tournament with Real Unión, Vissel Kobe, ZED FC and Vitória Sport Clube? Don't we have a good relationship with Bayer Leverkusen, possibly invite them too?
