EMERY: DO NOT WASTE MY TIME
Daily Mirror UK
|November 01, 2025
UNAI EMERY has revealed delivering a rollicking to his “time wasters” is the main reason for Aston Villa's upturn in their form.
Villa had failed to win any of their opening six matches across all competitions before going on to win six of their next seven ahead of facing Liverpool tonight.
When Matty Cash scored their first league goal at the Stadium of Light in the 67th minute six weeks ago, it looked for all the world as though Emery’s side would claim their first win at the sixth attempt. However, their 10-man opponents hit back with an equaliser - a goal that prompted Emery to blast his players.
He criticised their attitude, labelling the defending “lazy” and saying his team lacked an identity on the pitch.
That proved to be the turning point for Villa. To their credit, Emery's players responded in the perfect way, winning their next five games.
