‘Aston Villa players aren’t listening to Emery and he’s fuming’ – fans react
Aston Villa fans are concerned the squad are no longer listening to Unai Emery after his post-match interview on Tuesday (21 January).
The Premier League side were defeated 1-0 by Monaco, putting their hopes of automatically qualifying from the group stage into doubt.
Villa will likely need to defeat Celtic in their next European fixture to give themselves a chance of finishing in the top eight, and Emery didn’t hide his frustration after the defeat.
He said, “We are in this direction, being very demanding with the players we have but some are not following the plan we are doing and this is the objective I have now, to try to build the team as strong as possible with the mentality we are building.”
The Villa boss was then pressed by the media as to what he meant by players not following a plan, to which he tapped the side of his head to hint at mentality being the answer.
