    Unai Emery

    est1874 replied to PeterSw's topic in Villa Talk

    Today a big test for Unai and how much determination he can instil in this group of players. A draw would be a huge result and I think he'll be hoping for points one way or the other. Need to play it very smart. I would start with Diaby and Rogers and try to hit Arsenal's backline for pace on the counter. It's not very Unai, but IMO it's our best chance today.

    Totally agree. People need to take their tinted glasses off - his hand is in a totally unnatural position away from his body and he arguably moves it towards the ball when it comes towards him. If that's not a handball, I don't know what is anymore.

    Great bunch of lads, Toon. I've always said so with no exceptions.

    The glee in here is hard to stomach. People need to grow up.

    Of course not. I'm not talking about that, we're talking about this season where them knocked out of Europe could very possibly cost us a Champions League place which could affect our fortunes and finances for years to come But yeah sure, change the subject and harp on about something they did years ago that has no relevance to Aston Villa currently.

    You do you. If it potentially disadvantages Villa, I don't give a **** what happens to other teams, good or bad.
  19. est1874
    You're crowing like this is good for Villa. It's not.

    Knew we'd eventually find something we could agree on, Stevo.

    It was gorgeous.

    18th worst? So, 3rd best.

    We don't talk to the ref. You never see McGinn, our captain, talking to him at all. Ever. We also never "crowd the ref" - which honestly is a testament to our character... And yet we have the 3rd worst disciplinary record, unjustly IMO. It's an unfortunate fact of the modern game that if you don't put pressure on the ref, you won't get the rub of decisions in your favour. Ridiculous, but that's how it is. On the other hand regardless of whether we want to box clever with the officials, the team captain should always be asking him to explain/clarify decisions and is entitled to address the referee to point out patterns of poor behaviour from the opponent. Terry was great at this. Jack didn't do it because he became a target of the refs for his "diving" i.e. drawing fouls so they couldn't take him seriously. I'm not convinced McGinn would be taken seriously either, and maybe he knows it, hence why he doesn't try. I'll bet a big calm lad like Mings or Torres could get the ref's attention in a positive sense, though... Just saying.
