Unai Emery

[Footy-Vill]

This is great: https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1589593237202915329?t=bJjfUKDttGorxJqlWs_6cg&s=19.

A thing of beauty

Absolutely enjoyed that, the full version. He actually plays the match.

Agreed so entertaining

Love that

Thank you very much. Excellent viewing.
I've finished watching it. This is how elite management appears. It's fantastic, and it's both brilliant fun and riveting.
One observation that hasn't yet be xommented so i bring to the attention and how I am surprised to see Emery walk off the field without final greeting the players or even that much to the crowd.
I recall seeing his joyful reaction at the final whistle and then leaving.
Maybe it's just his personality, but I'm curious why he wasn't shaking hands with either set of players on or beside the pitch

Great by Villa TV . We get even more confirmation how Emery is a class act at managing!

Yep great viewing , but poor cameraman could not follow the game 

[Bad English]

Emery shook hands with Walter White at the final whistle. He then walked towards the tunnel and gave the Lower Trinity a victory fist. He would have had ample opportunity to see shake hands with players from both sides in and around the dressing room. He acknowledged the fans in his post-match interview. He can't do everything that we would like him to do.

Dean use to wait by the tunnel to shake hands with everyone, Gerrard would shake a few hands on the pitch, every manager is different. It'll only be a problem when the results aren't good, then every aspect of a managers conduct will be questioned.

[Risso]

Emery turned around and shook hands with every single sub and member of staff when we scored the first goal.

All this is true and it's not something he should be critisised for.

BUT, if we are to be fair we have to acknowledge that people would have found fault in it if Gerrard had done the same.

[Pat Mustard]

He was hand slapping/high-fiving a few of the fans close to the tunnel on the way in too - he probably just wanted to strike a balance between thanking people, but not to be seen to be getting carried away after one victory.  I still felt there was more connection with him in 90 minutes than we saw in 12 months of Gerrard.

[Clark W Griswold]

I think it was his way of saying, great, really pleased with that but there's still loads to do so lets not make it look like we've just won the cup. The fans will have been more ecstatic with it of course because many have been around since 95.

[London Villan]

Yep, he isn't an arrogant, humourless, dour, motivation-sapping, self-centred individual, so it's no wonder people will warm to him a little more quickly.

Yeah, but that is because he's a shit manager and we'd probably have lost.

I saw him walk away as you mention and saw it as him deciding to leave the celebration / adulation for the players. For him it was job done. He did the necessary handshakes with the vanquished

[cdbearsfan]

Why do we have to be fair to Gerrard? He was shite and he's fuck all to do with us any more. Thankfully.

[Monty]

Being fair to Gerrard means giving him an objective assessment, which is to say acknowledging he was terrible.

[London Villan]

Gerrard is a product of the current trend of talking a very good game, but not having the experience, skill or knowledge to do anything to improve things. Very similar to many politicians.

He has had his hand-held by a team of good coaches and relied on being a big name, with some big-name fans in decision-making positions, that over-promoted him.

He'd be better off resetting his management career and learning his trade at a smaller club, but I doubt his ego would allow it.

[Bully2345]

I'm happy for him to walk off and let the players take the celebrations at the end. He sounds like such an obsessive that he'd have immediately got to work on analysing the second half.

I preferred Deano's consistency of always waiting by the tunnel win or lose to Gerrard coming on the pitch when we the result was good. Gerrard created a stick for us to beat him with when he started to do his vanishing act after bad results
