I so want to be there with my boys. I hope the first packed villa park will be against united. They wont stand a chance in that environment. It will be a emotional night for the fans. As for Martinez i think he could go on on to be one of our best ever of he continues like this. We thought heaton was good but Martinez is another level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no pressure from the fans. They can just play without fear atm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that just sums him up. A inspirational keeper and a top bloke in that dressing room. I genuinely believe thongs like that just get that extra 1% out of players at key moments. Their is a special unity and bond in this team, you can see it, it is tangible. Player like Martniez and Cash have really added to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I love how much they shout at each other. Konza was shouting at Martinez at one point, someone was having a go at Cash and he was telling them to **** off. They hold each other to account. Thats a big part of it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinez is in a different stratosphere to Heaton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 When's the last time Villa had 2 world class players in the side? Because Martinez is definitely world class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t agree more. Yesterday Cash had to deal with a tricky ball over the top in the second half and he turned to Martinez and shouted “*^%* off. What the *^%+ing hell was that call?” I assume because had told him time or man on etc and he didn’t agree. I’ve seen several examples of that, players challenging each other holding each other to account, that is what good players and good sides so. It is a fine line making sure it is done in the right way but that comes down to the character of the players and the manager. You just know characters like Cash and Martinez post match will be completely different. I met Cash a few times when he was at Forest and my lad was there, you couldn’t meet a nicer guy.

The lads have an incredibly strong bond. Dean said yesterday that Emi is the first person in the dressing room to thank the other players for their efforts and blocks. It speaks volumes about him. I've said it before, but we have various leaders in that dressing room and Emi is a massive influence positive force. Not just on the pitch either.

He's already given us 3 by my reckoning. I will be amazed if he doesn't earn more, but even if he doesn't he's earning his money this season already.

"Fine line" indeed. As a coach (teenagers, mind you), I tell players to constantly give positive reinforcement even if (when) mistakes are made. I will do the job of critiquing. It's so easy for it to spin out of control. Obviously these are professionals, so there is probably more lee way, but if results start turning negative, it can create a toxic atmosphere. My 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 cents As a grass routes coach I agree on all points above. That sort of stuff gets forgotten when you are winning, it can be an issue when you aren’t.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Distribution was a bit uncharacteristic yesterday, but everything else was outstanding as always. Not sure if the early, off distribution was down to nerves, of the whole team after Burnley, or due to the insane Southampton press. Incredible signing.
