I’m worried now that 2 bob bit channel and the
“experts” they put out have criticised our world class coach.
There was the question posed - quite reasonably - as to why Unai didn't fully explain his point but he didn't need to did he. Simon Jordan is very complimentary about us generally speaking.

I can imagine the annoyance that he won’t give them anything to blow up into a crisis and that makes me happy. Jordan is the exception to the rule, he doesn’t seem to care about any sort of narrative. It wasn’t long ago that Emery laid into that Matterface for his ridiculous questions.
It wasn’t a strange interview, it was one that Emery has given before but I suppose they needed a headline.

So we’ve gone from having T shirts with Emery quotes…to, he’s leaving us anytime soon, all in the space of 24 hours.

Gloom and doom is alive and well on H&V.

Yep, because Garner didn't get the red he deserved and moments later we managed the rarely-spotted triple defensive blunder to let a goal-allergic forward to unaccountably achieve the best chipped finish of his life.

(Of course it was more than that, of course it was a bad day, but you know, we are kind of overreacting here you know?)

And there it is.

I just think Unai cant stand stupid questions especially when we've lost.

He'd already answered her as to why we are not "contenders" and she then said "why do you think that?". He couldnt see the point of answering again.

Balague deals with this in his book. Unai hates giving these pointless interviews but realises its an obligation. he was v polite i thought.

It's part of the gig. His english, in front of the media anyway, isn't as strong as it ideally could be. They were softball questions but he was the one who created unnecessary noise around the top 5 stuff.

Pissed off with the result/performance, McGinn's injury and failure to get the Gallagher and Tammy deals done.

He had already said he doesn't judge what's possible until matchday 34. He's also clearly annoyed how other teams are able to just go and buy players while we're forced to manage additional restrictions.

He manages the situation superbly overall.
But it must piss you off when you see how others can spend more or less what they want.
We are outperforming our resources but the injury list will inevitably see us slip down the table and he knows that.
