I've gone from being cautiously optimistic to quietly very optimistic. All good things do come to an end. I'll just enjoy the ride and hope for the best, though I'm as certain as I can be that we'll see a big improvement. He seems like such a decent guy that I'll enjoy it all the more. I feel a bit like when Deano joined, but this is on another level. Those first few weeks when he joined - before the 10 game run were great fun. The results weren't amazing - joy and frustration in equal measure (5-5 against Forest), but you could see it was going somewhere and there was a lot to cheer about.

Vive_La_Villa Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) Man U have found some form so emery’s first game may not be a good result. But no doubt it will a cracking atmosphere and occasion. He will realise how happy we are with him here and also the size of the club (and the task at hand).

I am not trying to put a damper on things, but he has to win games too. We can't afford to go on winless runs, and neither can he. It will take time, and surgery, but you have win games along the way, to be given THAT time. It's not easy, when a team is low on confidence....I am just hoping he can instill something, until we get to the Jan Window. It seems UE & NS is on the case right now, with no intermediaries.....so, I am more confident, we will buy right, in Jan. Its a tough ole job this, I hope the fan base are tolerant. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he’ll have to win games or we’ll get relegated but we can’t expect him to beat a team at home in his first game when we haven’t beaten them at home since 1995. I think we’ll get a result against Brighton. Im certain the fan base will be tolerant too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how he has sounded a ‘v’ in his language his whole life and the neural networks in our brains rarely adapt to new sounds even if we are fluent. Same as the average French person will never really pronounce the difference between ship and sheep without significant effort, or even how English people just say ‘Loch’ the same as ‘lock’. All this to say: don’t expect him to ever just say ‘Villa’ because he has practiced more. Alex Ferguson, got away with his speech impediment for years......funny how selective folk can be.

I'm not a professional football but I feel like this would be a good way to learn key instructions rather than playing out the whole drill/session and then explaining what you need to do to improve after it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Quote “The greatness of this club is the first thing I thought,” he said. “It was a challenge, I decided.” I wish he said, this is the first club I have managed that have won the biggest trophy in European football. The European Cup. Would be a nice wee dig at Arsenal fans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times when we've had the game in the bag but then **** it up. Games where they've been there for the taking and we've utterly failed to take the opportunity. Games where we've had a decent team playing well and completely failed to turn up. Games where we've been totally screwed over by the officials. So many late goals. So so many late goals.
