Unai Emery says he was happy with the performance but not the result: "Those four chances in 90 minutes are something we can think that we can score one goal (from). We weren’t clinical." #AVFC

Unai Emery asked about his anger: "With the result, not with the performance. I am not happy that we lost. Not to do with the performance. We did beat them [Fulham] here two times, and the matches we played were like today. We weren't clinical today." #AVFC

Asked Emery if not hitting the target was the key issue: "It's not easy to shoot in the goal. It's my work to improve, because in Nottingham two weeks ago, Watkins had the same chance from Emiliano's pass. Today, he had the same. Again, he repeated the shoot (over the bar)." #AVF

Unai Emery on Amadou Onana: "I don’t know if he will be available for Thursday. It's about how every day he is progressing. I don't know if he will be ready for tomorrow, Thursday or next Sunday. The only player we know can't play is Barkley as he is not in the list." #AVFC

Unai Emery: "We have lost a really good opportunity, the players did everything we were planning but we needed to be more clinical. The match was pretty even. We created a few chances to score, it was very difficult." [TNT] #AVFC

Unai Emery: "We needed fresh legs, they're tired. The players tried to keep the same game plan we had at the beginning. We had chances with Ollie Watkins, Tammy Abraham but we couldn't get in their box. We needed to better occupy the spaces in their box." [TNT] #AVFC

#AVFC still have work to do in their pursuit of Champions League qualification after losing 1-0 against Fulham in the capital. Unai Emery cut a frustrated figure on the touchline, with his side now winless in five away league matches. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/footba

FT: Fulham 1-0 #AVFC Villa without a league away win for over three months. One shot on target. Drifted in 1st half and tried to wake themselves, but despite Emery's constant motioning, were not making enough quick or passes in combination. When they did, they fired over the bar
