It's an absolute banger tbf. Doesn't really habe singalong anthem qualities though. Keep it lower down the pre-match order. Need Sam Fender to bash out something YNWA-ish.

Gottlob Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 He's obviously better than what we've had, but I do worry whether his nebbish character and funny English make him a bad fit for our current squad. Like Rafa he seems detail-oriented and a hard taskmaster when it comes to what he expects from his players out on the pitch, but he lacks the same sort of gravitas, seems to rub some players up the wrong way, and could easily become a figure of fun. He'll obviously get plenty of scorn from the press after every disappointing result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokerprince2004 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Dare someone make a new thread for him or would that jinx it after the Fonseca thread Pretty happy with this appointment but I always think of how average he was at Arsenal and worry. Guess I would worry no matter who it was. Anyone got a link to any English speaking Villarreal forums? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Bit weird and disrespectful having this leak the day of potentially his last Villarreal match. Doesn't feel like it fully adds up but lots of journos in reasonable standing going for it as happening. Very happy if true, not a pulse racer but a really astute appointment of a proven winner and someone hungry with unfinished business in the PL. Cracking appointment if it happens. Not convinced yet though! Edited November 2, 2021 by toontownman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey47 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 https://themastermindsite.com/2020/11/14/unai-emery-villarreal-tactical-analysis/ Interesting how I'm seeing a lot of people describe Emery as a defensive coach similar to Rafa but this article talks about how "Emery likes to play out from the back, Villarreal are also quite good at keeping the ball in the opposition half and dominating possession once there. They’ve kept 57% of the possession so far this season (4th best in the league) and their possession and positional statistics are very balanced between the three thirds of the field."

Carlito Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Seen some people on Twitter criticizing Villarreal's league form but they've only lost 3 games out of 11 this season. If anything he'll make us a tough side to beat, which is what we need right now. Chuffed with this if it's confirmed before the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
