Pinebro Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Just looked up his first 5 games. Good luck Unai, lol. Talk about throwing a guy to the wolves. Appointment should have happened 3 weeks earlier so he'd have a chance to build some momentum. Edited October 30, 2022 by Pinebro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Could easily be five straight defeats including the Man Utd Leage Cup game. But first five games won't define anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digne Luiz Dendonker (or better) Kamara Buendia Bailey Ings (or better) That's basically the Gerrard system isn't it? I think we will go ‐-----------------Martinez----------------- Cash---Konsa----Mings-----Digne ----------Kamara---Luiz----------------- Sarr---------Buendia-------Bailey -------------------Ings--------------------- Assuming we sign Sarr or someone similar. I think Ollie and McGinn won't survive long. That team will pick up plenty of points imo. Emery will have plenty of money and scope to bring in who he wants to improve any of the other positions too.

Talldarkandransome Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Let's not write him off before he's started. Yes it's a tough start but these clowns have proved they can perform sometimes. And with some proper coaching we should be ok. If they don't improve under Emery then they are truly shite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery is getting paid 125k and his CV is incredible, He needs to improve us quicky.

IrishVilla10 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 You can get a result against any team in the league, we proved it against city. Liverpool just lost to Leeds, United are strong. Brighton are very beatable. I have no expectations though, looking forward to just seeing what happens 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only real standout teams this season are City and Arsenal as it stands. When I say that, i don't mean other teams are necessarily " weak " . I mean quite the opposite; the League is just very competitive now. Everybody else is potential FOOD!

viivvaa66 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I don’t think there is enough time before the World Cup break to make major improvement. We could get a result or two, but I do not expect miracles. This season will be all about getting away from the relegation battle and maybe do well in one of the cups.

andym Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 2 hours ago, Delphinho123 said: It’ll be so interesting to see how this pans out. For once, I feel as though we as fans don’t have the excuse that the problem is the manager and not the players. If Emery can’t make it work then we probably have to admit we’ve pissed a load of money up the wall and our squad is average at best. Blaming a manager is usually football fans’ denial that their team isn’t as good as they think or want it to be. It actually feels nice and refreshing that we absolutely shouldn’t have that excuse any more. Players like Buendia/Bailey and others who divide the fan base are going to either sink or swim and there will be nowhere for them to hide. We’re going to find out a lot about our club and the players over the next 12-18 months. Bring it on. This is the first manager we've had in years and years that is actually a good, proven manager at this or any other top level. We've wasted so much on 'potential', or just outright cheapskating in the latter Lerner years. He's got a track record that shouldnt have any of our players questioning him. For as good as the journey was under Smith, he wasnt able to make the step up in managerial ability he needed, and that leads to doubts for players. Under Gerrard, i do wonder once they got past the initial 'Stevie G' as a player facade, how quickly they realised he was out of his depth. Probably not long when he was basically saying to them: 'you have to put the work in, you need to prove you have what it takes to be worthy of this club etc. Now here's Mick Beale who will be doing all of the coaching, all of the meetings, because it will take me 15 years to be as good as him.'

Villan_of_oz Posted October 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 30, 2022 I think someone else said something similar, if Emery can't sort us out then I'm done.... Not with the club, I always support AVFC, but just done in terms of expecting us to be anything else than making up the numbers in the prem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet we get thrashed by Bournemouth, palace, Fulham and newcastle! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 This is a top manager. We need to look upon him as being long term. We must give him time. If these players cannot perform for him, the owners will make sure he gets players who will. I personally am looking forward to the future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
