From Townsley/Brum Live:
Emery was visibly angry with Bailey the moment he lost possession on the counter-attack, jumping up and down and seemingly trying to rip his coat off. His pass to Morgan Rogers was easily intercepted, allowing Cunha to run past Ezri Konsa and beat Emi Martinez to score.
It is difficult because it was an exciting moment,” Emery explained when asked about why he went ballistic at Bailey. “Leon Bailey, just before, he did a good action to Abraham, creating a very good chance.
“When we got in transition, we were not really dominating. They had more defenders than we had attackers.
In this action, Leon Bailey was alone with Luke Shaw, and there were two players with Morgan Rogers. I was trying to get Bailey to stop and get passes to get positioning in attack.
“Why? We planned before that the transition of them [United] is really fantastic. In this moment, the match was being played through the emotions. Maybe if Abraham scored, we’d be speaking now differently.
“We needed to control the game like we did in some moments in the game. I can’t tell nothing to the players, because I know the effort they are doing to recover their confidence and getting our structure stronger again.”
