rodders0223 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Give the man what he wants. Let him move on who he wants. Still have Lange and recruitment team driving the overall philosophy with a lot of younger players , but if Unai wants a guy and he wants to **** someone off do it. I can see him , despite the feel good factor, and despite him being a nice humble guy binning a load of these players off. He's a real one. A proper coach and a proper custodian. A gentlemen who won't drop 125k on a name to feed his own inflated ego. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you want about us being lucky with decisions, we had 63% possession away, 556-320 in passes and16-8 in shots, we controlled the game and bossed them and fully deserved to win. Reading the Southampton forums you'd think we'd performed a smash and grab with 18% possession, beggars belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuL Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 A very good game yesterday. I'd say our best 0-90 mins performance under Emery so far. We had a lot of the ball and controlled the game very well (especially the first half). I'm looking forward to seeing how we build on it. Does anyone know why the extra GK was put on the bench instead of an outfield player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) Just seen match report from SKY which says " Ollie Watkins give visitors 1 - 0 win to climb 11 points above relegation zone ". Lol I'm not for the conspiracy theories but this is hilarious. We are closer to a Champions League place than we are relegation ffs ( Yes I know it's FACTUALLY correct but still ) Edited January 22, 2023 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I'm not for the conspiracy theories but this is hilarious. We are closer to a Champions League place than we are relegation ffs Yesterday was weird across the board. I watched the match on Peacock and the commentary ignored Villa for 90% of the match. They said a few positive things in the final 10 minutes of the first half because we had 98% of the ball, but they were so focused on Southampton. The Southampton players string two passes together for the first time in 20 minutes, and commentary were like "They're playing well today, I could see Southampton getting something today". Yet Villa had all the possession, all the shots, all the creative chances bar two very good attacks from Southampton and we were given no credit for it. Maybe that's a sign that we've moved up a level and the media are expecting more from us, while Southampton were the underdog, but it was weird yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in 1980-82 we were not supposed to finish ahead of Bobby Robson or beat Bayern. The magical "do you want to bet against us" interview quote by Sir Ron summed it up. Don't care what they think and they can keep discrediting us all they want as far as I'm concerned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is we've actually done Spurs and Man U in this run as well. Not just fluked a win but been the better team. It's going to take us getting probably 3-4 points from Man City and Arsenal as well. Then will be impossible to ignore. The bias is pretty blatant. The Independent match report in the win over Leeds I couldn't believe what I was reading. Relegation my arse. At this point I think Chelsea are more likely to get relegated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a lot higher xG than they did 1.2 to 0.6 with almost all of theirs (0.45) coming from the one Adam Armstrong chance Emi saved well with his foot. Other than that they had a clearly offside goal and the foul deflected one that was ruled out Edited January 22, 2023 by CVByrne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post abdulaziz1 Posted January 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2023 It’s much better for us to go under radar, let the media keep focusing on Newcastle, Fulham, Brighton and the top 6. Let’s see what we do against Leicester, then play without pressure in our two toughest games of the season. For me, it’s much better we’ve reduced the gap with everyone than going up on the table and be 10th or 9th. What counts is how we end the season. To do that we shal keep in touch with as much teams as we can. Two years ago, we won against Spurs and Chelsea, but we ended up 11th. We got far adrift. Leicester game is really huge, if we can win that, a lot of 6 pointers will be played. We’ll probably have a setback after that that’s why we need to get the three points before playing City and Arsenal. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 A big change under Emery this season vs Gerrard is we've gone from 5th worst in xG against against to 7th best. Especially when you consider the top attacking sides we faced under Emery and the number of chances in Liverpool had in that one game of 3.51xG is 37% of the xG against. So we're averaging under 1 xG against per game excluding that one Liverpool game. The side are set up very well defensively. We are well drilled. Now we need to bring in a couple of attacking players and build the attacking game. We've not created many chances at 8.48 xG but we've been clinical scoring 12. This can't last and we need to create more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
