Pinebro Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I don't mind recognition what irritates me is them spending so much time criticizing when we lose goals because of the high line. Yet they don't use the same energy when we do well because of the high line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to look at the lineups an hour before kick off the BBC seemed very confused, with Kamara at CB, Konsa RB, Cash RM and Zaniolo at CM. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono62 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 6 hours ago, It's Your Round said: I’m quick to complain when we don’t get any recognition, so should for the sake of balance share the Emery praise too. Sky Sports analysis piece shows more respect to Unai than most: Why top five is not the ceiling for Aston Villa Contrast that to the headline a few articles up, “Gerrard under fire at Al Ettifaq”, and we can all feel great about Villa one year on. I can't believe Gerrard is under fire at Al Ettifaq. What the Ettifaq??? You know what, its because of the lack of crowds. That's it. He needs to work at a place with an attendance over 42,657 and he'll thrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is written! I don't think grant did, did he? Thought they finished 2nd by like 2 or 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love for no one to talk about us. I think that horse has bolted this week. Seems pretty much every outlet has done a piece on us, Unai, Ollie or Dougie and whether we can break into the top 4. I find it refreshing and exciting coming from being pretty much invisible in the media. Unai has stated his target as CL qualification for the season, but equally I'm pretty sure he'll keep heads focused on the job and stop complacency coming in. Job's only 1/4 done so far.

I'd love for no one to talk about us. On one hand I agree, stay under the radar and do well without pressure. However, ultimately if long term we want to challenge the top 4 and compete for trophies then realistically we need to massively up our turnover. This will only happen when we get the media attention. When we generate clicks and get the attention of other fans. This will lead to increased merchandise sales and higher sponsorship deals.
