It does make you think precisely what Harvey Elliott is doing in training to the extent that Emery finds his mere presence in matchday squads unpalatable. But Lindelof, with that uncharacteristic carry, then simple and effective pass into space for Morgan Rogers to venture and fire home the winner, showed that any player can thrive under the Spaniard if they listen and learn.

Reminds me of the quote from the article earlier about what he told Rashford.

Quote
Before signing Marcus Rashford on loan from Manchester United last season, Emery met the player and was encouraged to find he was still a football-obsessed young kid at heart. He told Rashford to go away and do his research. “Find out how I train, how demanding I am, how many videos I show. If you still want to come after that, then you're my player,” he said.

Talking of the Balague book, I just read that in there about an hour ago.

My view is we should keep Unai till early March and then reassess his tenure.

We'd better still be in the FA Cup.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery, speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm very happy. Our supporters should be proud of everything we are doing together because the energy is very important. How they transmit the energy, how they are helping us here to feel Villa Park is out fortress.

"It's really fantastic. And then compete, compete. Sometimes we can't dominate, sometimes we must defend. We must be resilient which we need today well. But being resilient, taking our time, with our qualities, overall we must be proud of everything we are doing. But first have issues and of course be realistic.

"After those three points of course we are taking advantage but still a lot of work to do. We are building the team in different ways. Of course the mentality is very important. This is through our mentality. We must understand how much team we are facing and how we can compete, stopping them. Our capacity too, tactically. We need our structure defensively and offensively to get good positions. Then our qualities. With our supporters helping us. The energy was important as well. "

I thought he’d blown it at the start of the season but WTF do I know? Best manager since SGT and I think he will be the best ever, even better than Ron   Saunders.
