However, Emery admitted he was left frustrated by Villa’s attitude in the 2-2 draw at Ipswich on September 29. To the point where he had to complain to his players and make sure it would not happen again.
“The biggest teams and players will try to win every game,” Emery said.
“When your team does the same, that’s when you feel stronger.”
“You always have to ask the players to improve their attitude. We had some examples here. In the Ipswich game, I had some doubts whether we would show the determination I wanted.”
“I’ve spoken to the players a lot about this and I don’t want to repeat it again. We can win, draw or lose, but we have to play to win and show how hungry we are.”
