It’s hard to criticise him, when one is performing so well and the percentages and performances back him up,  he gets it right more times than any other manager in my time. I’ve never lived in an era where I believe we can win whoever we’re playing. It feels strange, my brain is telling me, it’s the Villa, we’re bound to lose, but then I’m also believing we have a chance, we can win, we can beat anyone.

He’s not perfect, but, he nearly is.

The fact that it's difficult to tell the difference between ChatGPT and journalistic cliché doesn't reflect very well on either the journalists or the robots!

Obviously love Unai, but it’s pretty clear Glasner has his number. Doesn’t mean Unai isn’t brilliant, but he’s been out thought and out played most times we’ve played Palace.

Isn't that our 4th loss of the season vs palace? Or was it our 3rd?

Emery is a good manager but he's no Saunders, Atkinson or Little.

3rd loss and a draw in the league at home.

Completely outdone today. Very very disappointing. A season that promised so much feels very empty right now.

Had a stinker last 2 games. Time to show what we're made of.

Let’s not jump to over the top conclusions just yet.

He's won more than them combined.

Got everything wrong today pretty much.

What love to know what issue he has with Malen. Bailey did alright when he came on but he hasn't played for weeks and if he can get decent shots/crosses in his ten minute spell it really begs the question why Malen couldn't at least get on at half time.

At key moments in seasons with trophies in sight he becomes as conservative and predictable as Gregory and O'Neill which is the most disappointing thing for me. If we are to win anything significant soon we have to take more risks in our play especially on one v ones. Only seemingly allowed to do it at Villa Park.
