Are you worried?

For the first time in his reign i sense there is a tiny bit of pressure on Emery now . He needs to sort that defence out to start it's been our chilles heel for far too long. The Mings/Konsa CB pairing needs to return ASAP .

Definitely one of the biggest issues is the volume of goals we leak.

[LeonW]

The defence needs sorting. The concern is that we simply struggle to keep clean sheets and when our attacking players are off form we can’t compensate.

[tomd2103]

Not in the slightest bit worried.  I was worried when we were constantly fighting relegation for seasons and when we were in the bottom half of the Championship with financial issues lingering over us.

We've hit a bit of a slump.at the moment and a few players are struggling with their form.  I think it will be a tough couple of months ahead, but then we could really pick up.again for the run-in.

I do like these new slumps that are a first league defeat since August. They're better than the old ones, although you still get the same level of bollocks spouted after them. Still, can't have it all.

Its more the fact one win in 5 not exactly top 4 form ads. Also the manner of the loss. Think people would have been ok losing a close game. But to get spanked by 4 again people will understandably be upset

We are leaking goals and fuck up against a shit spurs. With the no show in the LC it’s just fucking typical villa

[Legion]

We'll be fine.

Unless you're Alan Smith

Next 4 in the league include 2 winnable home games and 2 difficult away games.  8 points+ from that would restore my faith that top 4 is still on.  Otherwise we might just have to win the bloody UCL thing to qualify next year.

Yeah he was odd - they created very little other than the goals.

[Villan82]

I don't quite understand how people assume that you rest for the following game, as if cumulative fatigue isn't the bigger issue. We rested in the week for April and May.

People do understand that.

People also want to see us win something and the season after smashing the glass ceiling of 4th seemed an ideal time to tick that particular bucket list item off. And the club hasn't half used the narrative of the top 4 to gouge supporters so supporters will be a bit less willing to shrug off a 4-1 loss away to a club who will be trying to take 4th from us.

Look people don't like losing, especially to them lot, and the fact that it came after our contrasting efforts in the league cup sort of underlines the sore point.

There is ZERO pressure on Emery and to suggest it (even a tiny amount) is flat out laughable. I pay very little attention to the routine pile ons you seem to generate on here, but with comments like this it's clear that you are a troll. Pressure on the manager who is leading us to the knock-out rounds of the actual champions league?  Pressure on the manager who has us sitting in the top 6 level on points with Arsenal and Chelsea after 10 games?

That might be true of some nonsense - references to Moscow come to mind. But there is a bit of an issue. We’ve had a pretty benign start to the season and our form is not great, neither attack or defence are really functioning right. So it might only be the second defeat since August, but we’ve only played 3 sides in the top 10 and we’ve one point to show for it.

There is pressure on every PL manager. Emery isn't immune from it .
