I love how Emery doesn't shut up.

Just constantly giving directions and shouting encouragement.

Its crazy how professional footballers still need it let alone so much of it

Its a real insight as to what modern football is all about and how it's easy to write the top managers off simply because they have the luxury of top players

There's a shocking and colossal lack of football intelligence in the professional game right now. That's why teams like Villa need so much aggressive coaching from the sideline to stay alert, take up the correct position on the pitch, maintain a high press at the right times, etc.

You look at the successful teams of the late 90s and there was more footballing intelligence than there was raw talent involved. Now, young players are being scouted mostly for their pace or other physical attributes such as height (if you're a defender) or strength, but footballing intelligence is barely being looked at, let alone prioritised.

They've had 80% of the play and barely troubled us.

Our shape in defence is outstanding. Plus this is definitely one of the best sides in the league building from their keeper.

Loooads of improvement to do once we've got the ball.
