Unai Emery - our manager

[Clampy]

Pre-match press conferences in their very nature are repetitive. It's no wonder that answers start to be so, especially when it's not in your first language.

That's exactly it, English is not his first language. Its such a simple explanation really.

They are utterly pointless PR crafted lots of words to say nothing.

Everything in football is so PR sanitised...

ha ha Risso finding out that just loving Unai to bits is classed only as being a Lukewarm disciple on here now
even a mild observation of saying ‘demanding’ to many times produces a barrage of support that our leader is simply perfect in every way

I hate press conferences and interviews with managers and players. I really don't give a fuck what they say because they are either thick and/or boring, and/or bland, and whatever happens they rarely say anything of interest because they can't deviate from a neutral, non-committal, safe line. Then you have the journalists who daren't ask anything juicy because they'll be black-balled so they resort to asking inane questions that make you cringe. Fuck the pressers!

I think they must have cut any Zaniolo questions from the OS video of the pre-match conference.

[OCD]

Unless they said they wouldn't comment on any Zaniolo questions (as per the club statement).

I agree to a degree although Klopp and Mourinho (and Pep to a degree) are generally more forthcoming and also comfortable talking about how pissed off they are. Although, I think the latter is one of Unai's assets - he doesn't query refereeing decisions or give any "woe is me" bollocks.

Its catching on.
No Zaniolo talk is the way to go!

This is, by definition, IS Zaniolo talk.  Flagellation is now your only option.

The Villa Podcast after that Fulham game was even better than usual, especially when we got the good news half-way through. I still listen to it occasionally.

It was a brilliant episode that!

Why are we still talking about Gerrard.

Unless it's SJM or Tyrone being interviewed!

Their English is better than Unai's.
