Sure it's exciting with Emery but he's had no where near enough time to make an impact, imo, But we shall see To take this team to where Emery is going to want them is going to be a long process and we need to be patient. But Danks got a reaction 3 days after Gerrard left so it’s not impossible to think a much better manager will get the same. We of course going up against a much better team than Brentford.

TomC Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Interesting to hear that Unai spent the first day teaching them his press... It's hard to predict who will be in the team given that he's new and that he's known for using many different formations, but if we're pressing from day one, I bet he will have high energy runners in the team, which means Watkins and Buendia will likely start. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Too early to expect much from this game, but it will be interesting to see something of his game management, tactics and the players he uses. I think the players will put in plenty of effort; they will know they are playing for their careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Not expecting an immediate bounce here in terms of the result, I would settle for a clear improvement in our overall shape, our desire to compete, and the speed with which we move the ball.

Yeah, I think he’ll look to press as well. Ings is pretty good at it too FWIW; not sure about Bailey though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted November 5, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 5, 2022 Difficult first game would be a big understatement. Hopefully we don't get beat but if we can keep it tight then who knows, 1-1 draw. Larga vida Emery's Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 It’s a game I honestly believe we can get something from if we play to our full potential. I think we just lack belief, especially when we go behind. Hopefully the Emery factor and presence on the touch line will help now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanVillan Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 1-1 But a disallowed goal for Villa in the 60th because of a VAR check back to an encroachment of the center circle at 2nd half kick off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomC Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I'll predict a draw. We took 4 points out of 6 from them last year. Yes, they're playing better under Ten Hag. However, we have the advantage of surprise; nobody knows how Unai is going to play. We also do well when we let the other team have the ball and play on the counter, which is what will likely happen here. We may have problems if they score first, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its just the 2 league wins since 95 (09 and 21 at Old Trafford)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
