messi11 Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Just finished watching the Villarreal game so here it goes:Weekend Manager watch Unai Emery- Villarreal just didn't play well today but snatched the win with the last kick of the game against relegation fighting Almeria. Villareal are currently 7th on 18 points. It might not be pretty football but Emery does know how to get results. Odds 5/1 Rúben Amorim- Changed the game with his subs at h/t where Sporting CP won 3-1 against surprise season high flyers Casa Pia (His former club). Just 3 points behind Porto in the league now. I loved the high tempo and triangles his side played. End to end game. Odds 8/11 (Favourite) Kjetil Knutsen- Guided his side Bodø/Glimt to a 5-0 win to take them second in the table. Molde look like they've tied up the title but Bodø still massively punching above their weight. Didn't watch this one. Odds 25/1 Aaron Danks- You know the story. New entry in the odds at 16/1 Edited October 23, 2022 by messi11 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today he claims, we've already signed a new Manager but he doesn't know who it is. The Emery link has been the absolute quietest, the way we work I could see it being plausible. I've also randomly wondered if it could be something audacious and out the Blue like Gallardo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted October 23, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2022 I think for the squad we have and for where we are in the Premier League standing atm, Emery definitely makes sense. Solidify us this year and then provide funding to kick us on next year. Emery for me is the best risk/reward scenario. Amorim is certainly exciting but it doesn't feel like the right time to take that type of gamble, however, we may not get another opportunity. High risk but high potential. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also any time he’s played the Emery link down it’s more of a timing thing vs a rejection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I can see Amorim being a good secondary target. But Poch , Emery and Tuchel are way ahead of him for me. They have managed high quality players like ours before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
