📊 Brendan Rodgers and Pep Guardiola are the only two managers to beat Unai Emery in each of their first 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄 Premier League meetings.

Keith Andrews could become the third this weekend.

🗣 Unai Emery on Alejandro Garnacho: "He's improving & getting better. For him, it was very, very important the two weeks we worked here. Still work to do, still things to add, adapt to us in our structure tactically. He's still young, he's working well & progressing."

#avfc

Good to see @jacobtanswell.bsky.social becoming the bad boy of #avfc reporting by including Unai's swear word, whereas sweet, innocent @johntownley.bsky.social censored it.
@danrolinson.bsky.social - this doesn't bode well for the inevitable boxing match.

🚨✅ Villa team news vs Brentford

🗣 Unai Emery: "Goretzka & Madjo, they are as well training with us, with the group.

“They joined us last week, this week they are working with us. Progressively, we are recovering some players. More or less, that is the news.” 1/2

#avfc 🟣🔵

Emery: "We have to build our structure stronger as we did the last year. I am especially happy how we finished before the break our matches. But we played a very shit match against Nottingham Forest at home. So how we can react, how we can change our performance at home is very important." #AVFC

Unai Emery on Alejandro Garnacho: “Definitely, he’s improving. The two weeks we worked were very important. He played 90 minutes in both matches. He’s still young, he joined us to exploit his qualities, but firstly prepare his body and his football - he’s doing it.” #AVFC

Unai Emery: "We have to build our structure as fast as possible. I'm happy with how we finished our matches in Brugge, Coventry and Tottenham, but we played a very s*** match against Forest at home. How we can react and change our performance at home is very important."

#AVFC

"Unai, what's your view on the significance of the Milner / Ireland transfer? Would you call it a sliding doors moment?"

#avfc

Unai Emery is due to hold his pre-Brentford press conference shortly.

ALSO I'm aware that using AI for YT thumbnails is bad and wrong, I've tried to stop it looking like those horrendous pub flyers...

..it seems like thumbnails are essential to YT and I don't have the skill or time...should I fight the good fight by not having a thumbnail?

Advice is welcome 👍
