The lack of conviction and intensity in any 50/50 challenge should tell us all we need to know about what Unai has at his disposal...

This agenda of bringing the role of the fans into things isn't going to go well for any of them, management included.
#AVFC's Ollie Watkins admits it's "hard not to notice" criticism from fans after struggling to reach the heights he previously set himself.
"You've got to keep plugging away. I know the manager backs me and that's all that matters," he told @RobJonesSport.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/f…

Our biggest issue. Forget PSR. We're already playing with a rigged deck, but most signings have been overpriced, not in positions we needed strengthening, or both. Whilst we have overachieved with what we have, in years to come it will be this aspect that ruins Unai's legacy.
As for Villa, they haven’t permanently signed a player who’s improved the team since Rogers in January 2024. That’s woefully bad recruitment. Players signed from last January and last summer now out on loan.

They don't want to hear the actual answer, it'll be a bunch of flags and social media dross.
Unai Emery and senior figures have tasked #AVFC to look at ways to improve the atmosphere at Villa Park. Fan groups are engaging, with Villa open to suggestions. So what are the reasons behind the perceived decline in atmosphere?

Our incoherent transfer business means I doubt this less than I probably should.
🚨 Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Wolves are among the clubs interested in signing Scotland left-back Andy Robertson, should the 31-year-old leave Liverpool this summer.
The defender's contract at Anfield runs out in June.

He is right, they should be. But we were in a really good position when he stupidly chose to put out a full strength team in the cup. Keeping up with those is hard, but we don't make it any easier. PSR constraints aside, our recruitment is incoherent, at best.
Unai Emery: "The contenders for the title [with Arsenal] should be Man City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Newcastle, Man United, Liverpool. Why? Find the information."
