Aston Villa manager Unai Emery wants his players to attack and defend as a collective after his side lost 4-2 to Leicester City at the weekend. After the defeat on Saturday, Emery made it clear that he is happy with the options he has available to him for the remaining months of the campaign.
Unai Emery said: “I have complete confidence in our squad and in our strikers. Of course I think Ollie Watkins is going to play 100% as a striker and he will compete with Jhon Duran. But we also have players who can play with him – Bailey, as a second striker – or as a 10 we have Coutinho or Emiliano Buendia. Then we have utility players like McGinn and Ramsey who can play inside or outside. I want them to help us by adding goals. There are different ways to get goals, with a striker, with wingers, with midfielders – with centre-backs maybe or left and right backs. I want everyone trying to defend and everyone trying to attack. Trying to hit the targets for their position. I am perfectly happy with the squad because we are not playing in Europe, we are not playing in cups. We have 18 matches left in the Premier League, we have options, we have two players for every position. I think that’s enough. They have shown me their skills level, now I want them to be competitive and demanding and they are doing it.”
