Aston Villa boss Emery: Players know we must bounce back against Fulham

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery is wary facing Fulham today.

Villa meet the Cottagers after crashing at Nottingham Forest last week.

Emery said, “I am always trying to be consistent with my plan and trying to be better today than yesterday, and tomorrow better than today.

“These messages are always in my mind and I'm repeating them to the players.

“And then we try to practice and analyse deeply each match and, of course, we have to try to be consistent about why we are not being consistent away, why we are not winning or close to winning the match we played in Nottingham.

“Firstly, analyse this because we have to respect the opponent and we have to try and stop the gameplan the opponent is trying to impose.

“And we have to accept we can't win every match and we can lose some matches, but we have to try to win more matches than we lose. And move on.

“We were analysing the match against AZ Alkmaar at the beginning and we finished this morning speaking about it. We're going to add the two matches against Legia Warszawa and Zrinjski.

“But now is Fulham and I'm going to analyse Fulham with the players, but my analysis is always two deductions.

“Firstly, try to analyse ourselves and how we can face the match on Sunday. Secondly, try to analyse the opponent and how we can adapt to them and try to impose our idea with their gameplan."
