Popular Post Demitri_C Posted April 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2023 I couldnt believe we dont have a thread for our number two good old pako!! He came highly rated before coming over with emery and maybe we havent given him as much credit as he deserves. He has a reputation as one of the best coaches out there for fitness. I have to say this is one of the fittest villa sides ive seen in years. Under gerrard our stats were some of the worst in terms of running and how much was covered. Our fitness looked poor. I think pakos been abit of a unsung hero here. him and unai certainly are the dream team for us. I think he has been a big upgrade on mccalister and Shakespeare (the latter i expected big improvements from 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I was now years old when I found out our assistant managers name which is always a good sign that you've got a good manager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when we were appoointing gerrard and we were all getting excited about beale coming. Id argue ayestaran is by far a better coach. All you need to look at how much we have improved in most areas of the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Beale is a decent coach . Pako has the years and the trophies . But do not underestimate Villaneuva (sic) . He has been alongside Emery since the Valencia days 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post burchy Posted April 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2023 I think how much timber McGinn is carrying at any given time should point to how good our fitness coaches are. The McGinn Scale. He looks as for as a butchers dog at present so hats off to Pako and the team 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RadioTom Posted August 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2023 I was watching the Newcastle game today, and that absolute f***womble who’s Howe’s no. 2. It reminded me how lucky we are to have someone who complements Unai perfectly, who isn’t all about the limelight, and just goes about his business to improve us as a team. Pako doesn’t get enough credit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Didn't realise Paco was our number 2 tbh he was the brains behind Rafa Benitez's time at Liverpool. Good appointment that we made at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 He doesn't know it all though https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/295473-steven-gerrard-pako-ayestaran-liverpool Quote Steven Gerrard is blessed with both the personal and professional qualities needed to develop into a top manager, according to his former coach Pako Ayestaran. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Actually I take it back. The quotes don't really reflect the clickbaity title/open para. Quote Now, I don't know him as a manager, but he has to try and put into practice the things he's trying to learn [and] make mistakes, because it's the only way you can improve.

skarroki Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Someone not mentioned when the communication thing with Emery is brought up as a cheap shot. This guy is fluent in English and has been a manager for years, hundreds of games of experience, but is now dishing out the orders that Emery wants. He knows how to do it, he knows how to coach, he knows how to handle egos. If he can work on a training field with Jamie Carraghet for more than a day without giving him a black eye he has all of my respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
