M_Afro Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Poor old Unai saw the real villa tonight. 11 goals conceded in last three away matches! Shudder! He needs to fix our away form fast. A point or more at Brighton on Sunday would be a great start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it showed me tbh is that i can see the way we want to play, some players are looking good, but some are really showing themselves up. Unai played this one different with the high line. I think Unai wanted to see the high line in action so they can work out the kinks over the winter break. We definitely aren't ready to roll that out for any league match.

It was a worthwhile evening from that point of view. Unai cannot work miracles. We have players who just implode under the smallest amount of pressure. He will get it right but we must be patient.

GingerCollins29 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Despite the result, Emery is absolutely brilliant. I am certain we will progress loads under him, especially when he shifts deadwood and brings in whoever he wants. Under SG, we lose that game 4 or 5 0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club bangs on about winning trophies but then changes 4 of the back 5 in the third round, 4 days before a 6 week break. I don’t think we were that bad tonight and Olsen was primarily the reason we lost but that’s just it isn’t it, he shouldn’t have been playing. Of all the positions on a football pitch, the keeper does not need to be rested. tbh, maybe he just wanted to see him in a game, to get an idea if he is good enough going forward. he got his answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Lots of positives and he should be under no illusions that some of these back ups aren't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I'm truly not that fussed about tonight. Unai will have found an awful lot out tonight from those on the fringe and those in the starting line up. I think only Young gets any credit at the back. Dougie, Kamara and JJ looked good together in parts. Ollie starting to gain confidence again. As for McGinn, I don't see a long term future for him under Emery, I just don't. Augustinson, Olsen, McGinn will be freeing up spots in the squad come the summer at the latest. I think there will be some cut throat decisions next summer with our owners backing Unai to put this right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Mark my words and I'll quote this post. We all know thos team are mentally weak. They can't deal with any setbacks or adversity. The points gained from losing positions is the worst in the league every year. We hope Emery can change it. We hope Gerrard was the problem but we all know it's the team. We know when things get a bit tough they capitulate. They have the safety net of a new manager and new manager bounce. This team are the problem at the football club. I know we want to bel they aren't. But we all know they are. It won't change until we get rid of 4 or 5 players. McGinn, Mings, Konsa, Watkins, Luiz can all fetch good prices and I've just had enough of them and their association with the club's problems. I just want them gone and new players signed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I really foresaw us winning this trophy in Unai’s first season. Disappointed we didn’t go big in this game tbh. Anyway hopefully he will realise our squad outside of about 7 players is immensely weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston_Villan4 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I just hope he never chooses McGinn to start again. Poor guy just looks absolutely lost in his system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LondonLax Posted November 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2022 Emery will have these three games to look at the whole squad then a month to work with them on the training pitch. You learn a lot more about your strengths and weaknesses from a loss than you do from a win. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
