Popular Post NoelVilla Posted December 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2023 I was prepared to try to give up on football. Along came Unai Emery. We should be able to criticize and be disappointed but it should also be proportionate to where we have been and what Unai have done. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 If he asked for a statue and a stand to be named after him right now, I’d give it to him. Ive been a Villa fan only since 2001ish and this is the only time as a fan Ive been truly excited and happy except for perhaps MON’s first league cup final as that felt like a false dawn of a corner turned. Even under the MON days it just felt a bit ‘off’ most of the time. Now we feel like real challengers. I actually wouldn’t be stunned if we won the league. Obviously it’d be incredible but because of what Unai has already done it wouldn’t appear absurd. then you remember that a very short time ago we were 17th under Gerrard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) It's such a shame what those glaring misses have done to Unai's left eye. Such stress, now I understand what they mean by "intense". Edited December 31, 2023 by sheepyvillian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Interesting to hear Unai Emery talk on Match of the Day about the title, basically said I will have this conversation again if we are around the same position in the league after 32 games. Just imagine if we are there or thereabouts, I think the teams around us might start to doubt themselves. However I do fully expect the cheating Man S***** machine to kick in and win the league but perhaps not. I'm a believer mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Adam2003 Posted December 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2023 I’ve just read a bunch of complaints on here (as in: on the current latest page on each of their threads) about Diego Carlos, Cash, Douglas Luiz (!), Ramsey, Duran, Lenglet, Martinez (!), Diaby and Zaniolo so credit to this guy for getting any sort of performances from this squad! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Unai greatest strength is doing the unexpected but casually. I dont think our defence is super solid though its how we set up but 2 of our 4 clean sheets was vs City and Arsenal. Its like we prepared our season for them games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I just want to post to thank Unai for delivering one of the best calendar years I can remember as a villa fan. Up there with 1996 and 1998. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onmeedson Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Hope Unai has not taken to self harming after the loss to Unt and the eye is just a new weapon to pierce the back of any under performing player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably has thick tactical dossiers for every single fixture as soon as they're announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest bunch of lads Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Obviously still over the moon with this man. I’m happy if Villa win the majority of matches 3-2 if it means losing the odd match 3-2. Entertaining matches is a bonus. Exciting times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I presume most teams do this sort of thing but if you look above Diego's head and to the left of Konsa's head I like the detail on the Burnley players shown in the background. Little bit of an insight into some of the information the players get. I'm sure Emery (and his backroom team) leave no stone unturned. UTV! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pongo Waring Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Got Aston Villa in the PL the 2nd best overall team of 2023. What a job he's done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
