What must this fraud be thinking now. Emery has proved its a myth “managers” need time and their own players. He got results and a structure in place from day dot. Gerrard had a very good squad to work with but his message the whole time was how players werent good enough and how new players would be coming in. He was saying it every other press conference and post match interview. Ostracising players is all this clown seemed to do; he really believed in his own hype after his Rangers stint. Suppose its to be expected after being given God status at Plop his whole life. Half the battle is making the players believe in themselves and get them engaged in the plan going forward, give them an environment where they’re happy and enjoying themselves. Emery has achieved it seamlessly. These lads are loving life right now, the players are a proper team on and off the pitch: Edited April 17, 2023 by BleedClaretAndBlue 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 The reason why so many of us were frustrated under Gerrard is because we could see the potential in this squad. Not saying any of us called top 6 potential but definitely much better than relegation battlers ffs. I think back to Gerrard - regularly leaving out Douglas and Buendia ffs. Madness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia really gets it in the neck from him which I find funny. Pretty sure it's because he drops deep looking for the ball. No Emi! Hold your line up the field so you can be found behind their midfield. What do you reckon he's saying to McGinn after that third? McGinn confirming Ramsey should come off I think? Love big Jhon's admiration of Watkins. Perfect player to him to look to if he wants to be a successful PL player. Don't think I've ever seen a manager who is so uninterested in taking any limelight whatsoever. It's incredible.

Mantis Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Gerrard had that toxic mix of being eager to hog the limelight while also being light on detail behind the scenes. Unai is the exact opposite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unai is the exact opposite. The funny thing is he was trying to make it out like the players couldn't handle all of the detail he was conveying to them and talked about "getting back to basics". Yeah I'm sure you were putting on a football masterclass behind closed doors Steven, being the tactical savant you are. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't know how to get the best out of technically gifted players, so he left them out At the end of the day he was just found out in this role and at this level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 My mate who doesn't go Villa often after the Newcastle game actually said to me where's Unai? I said he's not Gerrard "fist pumping the Holte after a win and he had scored the winner and sprinting down the touchline after a loss" Arsehole.

He's got no backroom team, no ability, no humility to take a job outside a top flight somewhere and learn what he's doing. I don't think he'll ever manage again. Being linked to jobs is a sign his agent is active though. Once again, LOVE the thought of him tuning into that game on Saturday and seeing how brilliant we are. The penny might have dropped that he's got so so far to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
