We're on the march with Unai's Army
We're going to the UAE
And we'll really shake 'em up
When we win the inaugural CBF Al Wahda Challenge Cup
And we'll celebrate by only drinking tea

Was mentioned in the Villarreal thread as I didn't want to start another one just for a friendly. Nice for Villa fans based in UAE.

I realise this is a training game, but you’d think two premier league teams with quite string teams would be befitting a better ground and  more than 25 fans.

It’s almost as if no one in the Middle East is interested in football.

Thank God they’ll never be hosting a major tournament over there

1-1 absolutely shit defending from Chambers

Takes an angle at the top of the box to force him on his right foot.. yet he takes a right footed shot and puts it in the bottom left corner. Strange approach.

Can you tell us more about the shape and line up please lovely people?
Title: Re: Dubai Jolly
Post by: jwarry on December 08, 2022, 02:41:25 PM
Pretty clear to me our defenders can’t do what Emery is asking them to do.  Konsa not comfortable and neither is  Chambers

1-2 now

Our pressing has been much better with all forwards and midfielders pressing together but defensively we still look weak.  Carlos needs to get fit quick

Finished 2-2.  You could see what Unai wants to do but the players are just not there yet, and I doubt a few will ever get there eg Konsa and Chambers.  Overall a bit disappointing, I was expecting more

Apologies if I've caused offence.

I meant nothing other than I think they're a load of twats. If there's any other connotation, it was completely accidental.

Fair enough, the only 1 I've seen was with Buendia actually holding the chain, Cuotinho and Luiz behind and then someone else that I don't recognise.

I understand that if an Israeli citizen or Jewish person criticises the Israeli state, they will then be described by government spokespersons as 'self-hating Jews' so they can take the blame for their own opinions.

Along the same lines as caring environmentalists being called 'tree-huggers' and proposers of safety at work, etc. being labelled 'do-gooders'.

Quote an astonishing perversion of language isn't it?

Hope Konsa sends him a Christmas card and a Scalextric set as a gift.

Seriously, though, that is really unfortunate. Great player in the making. Reminds me of a younger Mitrovic.
