No. Vast majority of fans would back Emery over the players, and rightly so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted February 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2023 Interesting that he makes the point that we score an early goal and then appear to hope that the rest of the 90 minutes passes quickly without anything else happening. I've felt that for a long time and it's often why we just cannot capitalise on going ahead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I'm disappointed for Emery that we failed to strengthen the squad in January. Could have really done with a couple more of his own signings to freshen things up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 We are playing some lovely stuff at times. I’ve absolutely no doubt we are going to be a real force under Emery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Can't disagree with anything he says there. Shows the standards of the guy (and not in a showy Gerrard way) that he could easily have blagged it and said we were right in the game and the piece of fortune they got for the 3rd goal was the difference but he knows what he wants from the team and they aren't giving it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Just now, Villa_Vids said: Yes. We do if we are not leading already that is. We will score the first goal then revert back to sitting deep and countering, all the while giving Arsenal more time on the ball and getting into our box to score at will. FFS. Agreed buts that’s down to the mentality of some of our players. We saw it under Smith and Gerrard, The difference is that Emery has only been able to bring in one of his own players (2 if you include Durán who the club had been watching for sometime) Emery will get it right.

Villa_Vids Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I'm embarrassed too. Arsenal had barely any preparation time too for this game, and we gift them a 4-2 win. I can understand why Emery is so upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of current players have the small time mentality, When we take a lead against big team it’s like wow we did well already , over the moon . There’s no desire or the mentality to go for the kill.

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Remarkably incisive interview: identifies the precise problem with the performance. If this man is backed in to shape this team, he will create something v v impressive. If I was one of our current players, I would be bricking it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally love the fact he come out and said this. Would have been easy to put gloss on it but at the end of the day we lost after being ahead at home with 30 minutes to go.

MaVilla Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 brilliant interview tbh. Talks about how we arent playing how he is asking, the interviewer asks if the second goal is how he wants villa to play, the he says something like..... " (pulls a face as if to say....hell no) its a goal, a goal in transition, but we arent controlling the ball, we cant play 90mins in transition, they could have scored more from poor defending, poor ball control, poor turnovers, we score a goal and then act as if we wait for the game to end, trying to play transition, i dont want to build a team that only plays in transition, we can work in transition sometimes, but we need to control the ball.....etc etc etc". Honestly, a lot of these players are doing the same as what they have done before, up their performances a bit, get the monkey off their back, then revery back to not playing the style they are asked, or reverting to fast pace running around like headless chickens and not implementing a game plan, we have seen it over and over, i can see a fair few of this squads players being ejected quickly this summer. I get the impression Emery is a manager who just wont stand for it, its his way or the highway, and as he has the complete backing of the owners, and from what i have seen, also the fans, the players are the ones who will suffer, not Emery, at least for now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
