Villa87 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I remember how excited I was when linked with Emery and then appointing him. I had no idea he would be this good. I just hoped he would steer us away from the bottom three. We have struck gold. Wouldn’t swap him for anybody. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We conceded 1. Unbelievable attention to detail. Exactly and then at the other end of the pitch rather than lumping the ball into the box we played a variation of short corner routines to nullify one of their strengths (as they are normally quite strong at heading the ball away) As you say unbelievable attention to detail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tomaszk Posted April 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2023 I think he's changed football forever for everyone in this squad. They will all be much better players for the rest of their career having played under him. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m normally rubbish at noticing this sort of detail but I noticed that we were insisting on short corners to get the ball into the box on the floor rather than have them instantly head it away. To be fair this might have been down to McPhee rather than Emery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villan-scott Posted April 16, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2023 I thought that after 18 hours the erection would have subsided… apparently not.

Sulberto21 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I don’t give a F what anyone says but Don Unai is the best manager in the World. Newcastle got on top straightaway after half time and then Don Unai tweaks positions of players and we go and score again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Follyfoot Posted April 16, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2023 Trying to put yesterday/ last night together like in the film Momento but using empty beer cans, a half eaten Chinese, VT and match of the day (rather than tattoos) I have put together the first part and catalyst of the puzzle. Thank you Unai 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one_ian_taylor Posted April 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2023 I have to confess I was a little worried when he joined that we were getting a big name manager who might not have been what we needed (call it ignorance about his tesck record) and had a decent chance of falling foul of the Villa curse of turning good managers and players into utter cack. A long way to go, but how wrong those doubts were. Where a lot of managers have come to Villa talking about what a big club we are etc and seen it as an uphill task to wake a sleeping giant, he has seen us for what we are - unfashionable, unloved, not one of the elite for a very long time and a bit of an underdog. He's moulding us into his image in a way I didn't think possible and it feels like a great fit. What hadn't clicked for me until yesterday, watching him so clearly enjoying himself, is what a good fit we are for him as well as the other way round. He's not fazed by any of it in the way a lot of our managers have seemed to be in the past. I don't think I've ever had such an urge to meet a Villa manager. He's brilliant, and I'm very happy to say my doubts were wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
