Aston Villa Report

Jacob Tanswell

For Chelsea's fourth, Martinez was stranded against Garnacho and Joao Pedro as distant teammates rushed back frantically. It was the clearest portrait of how Emery’s “structure” had crumbled. It all felt so unfamiliar and desperate. @theathleticfc.bsky.social #AVFC…

Emery: "I have to analyse the match because I'm not sure how we conceded four goals, but we can't concede four goals like we did today." #AVFC

Unai Emery on Matty Cash: "We will check him tomorrow. We will do a scan, and hopefully not a lot [of time out]. He had some doubts about his calf." #AVFC

Emery: "We are in a bad moment. Why? Maybe we lost our structure and our structure was so strong when we were being consistent. “The objective we have in front of us, we still have time to recover it, but we need to recover our structure. Today we lost one opportunity." #AVFC

Unai Emery: "We are not with one player always scoring or winning the match for us. We need our structure. We have high qualities, but through our structure. It gives us confidence and individuals confidence." #AVFC

Unai Emery: "Still three points difference to Chelsea. It means we have been doing something well this season. But not now. It is the moment to be together and to work harder than we did. Also, remembering tactically a lot of things which we didn't do today." #AVFC

Unai Emery: "I was watching the game at 1-4 trying to understand how we can find solutions to recover a lot of things. We need to recover confidence, energy and our structure. We are in a bad moment, it is clear." #AVFC

Unai Emery via TNT: "In 29 matches we are better than them [Chelsea]. Not today. Now is the moment to find solutions and to try to recover good form and feeling together in everything. We need to get some days working and getting balance - we are not doing it like before." #AVFC

John Townley

Unai Emery: "We need to do the last two months regaining our structure. We are now doing something wrong in the structure - it is not strong like it was before. This is now my concern. I will share it with the players. There is still time to recover it." #AVFC
