Mantis Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 The good thing about Emery is that he seems to take defeats very hard and is obsessive about getting us back to winning ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Just one of them days. It happens. Unai will be in his bunker rewatching the game 65 times before Thursday now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) Someone said to me last week you’ll have a bad run at some point and fans will hound him out. I laughed and said no chance, he has full support and will for a long time. Sometimes I do wonder though.

TheMightyVillans Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Unai has managed to get us to bounce back after every loss this season. I expect the same to happen for the next 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rugeley Villa Posted November 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2023 If we had a bad run the fans will turn because that’s what we do. It’s like we get ahead of ourselves and think we should be doing better and assume the manager isn’t good enough anymore then get someone in who takes us back a few steps . Let me tell you now we are very lucky to have Emery not the other way around. I really dislike our fanbase at times and we seem to always get what we deserve. Short memories our lot, too entitled. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mark Albrighton Posted November 6, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2023 Struggling to see where the OTT criticism is, to be honest. Under previous managers, their threads would be littered with negativity after a defeat. This thread has barely moved since the defeat and overall those posts that have been made are still kinda on the positive side. Unless people are talking about the match day threads. But unless Villa are 3-0 up after 10 minutes, they’re always terrible. The majority of VT has even given his performance an “average” one. It’s hardly the harshest criticism we’ve seen on here. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple of fans on Facebook in particular who only pop up with an " When I spoke about these attributes he had in his failure at Arsenal I was hounded out " post after every loss. Ironically you never see them after a win or any good run/performance. Edited November 6, 2023 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically you never see them after a win or any good run/performance. Oh I’m sure it happens on Twitter, Facebook, etc. Just not really seeing it here. Any criticism I see on VT is usually accompanied by sentiments such as “I love Unai however…” “he’ll learn from this” “he’s already studying where it went wrong and will have it corrected by the next one” I think any criticism on here is very minimal and often delivered in a feather light manner. And for good reason, he has more than earned that. I just don’t think he should be immune from ANY criticism if a poster feels the need to offer some. I basically don’t think anyone, regardless of what they’ve achieved, should be immune from legitimate criticism when it’s warranted. We could win the champions league three years in a row, but following that if he decided to put Bertrand Traore in goal*, I’d expect there to be criticism of that decision. *obviously I’m saying that as a quite far fetched example of a bad management decision. But now that I’ve said it, I kinda want to see it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Unai Emery took Villareal to CL semi final... I think we should sit back and just let him do his thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Media talk all week trying to link him to a move to Manure, Plop. Meanwhile Nas and Wes make moves to strengthen the bond between them, Unai and the club with the Real Union investment. I'd call that a 4D chess move. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I think he was genuinely okay with our play against Forest. Didn't take our chances and he wasn't as stroppy because everything more or less went to plan except for not stopping two outside the box shot. I think, away, we definitely don't play with the same enthusiasm as we do at home. It's far more 'careful' which I think is a combination of some of our earlier poor openings (Newcastle, Liverpool, Legia). Still have some things to do to get the balance of our away approach. Conceding the early goal will keep us out of most of those matches if we keep doing so. I'm sure Unai will figure it out but the instructions can seem contradictory when we go away - 'stay calm but also be energetic' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree.. but I think we add Moreno and JJ and we suddenly have that extra swagger to deal with the away games.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
