Nottingham Forest defeated Aston Villa 2-0 in a Premier League match. Villa struggled to break down Forest's defense and were slow with the ball. Unai Emery expressed frustration at his team's performance and emphasized the need for improvement to compete in the top seven teams. Emery praised Douglas Luiz's performance and hopes Carlos's injury isn't serious.
Emery on Alex Moreno: "I was thinking (about him coming on) but the result was tight. After five months, I prefer playing with him when the match is more easy. He's doing every session with us as normal & wishes to play." Hopes & thinks Carlos's injury isn't too serious. #AVFC
Unai Emery says #AVFC's response to going a goal behind was "fantastic" and said the same about Douglas Luiz's performance. "He added his qualities and energy to win the match. When a player comes off the bench, it's a good example because we need everybody focused." #AVFC
Unai Emery yesterday: "He is scoring a lot of goals but he can add more assists, as a midfielder, for our strikers. He can be more of a protagonist with the ball." 24 hours later, he executes a huge goal for #AVFC and Ollie Watkins. Game-changer. https://t.co/NHfw9xmCFr
HT: #AVFC 0-0 AZ Villa needed the break. Big save from Martinez at the end. Started quickly but became more lethargic & untidy. AZ encouraged from winning cheap giveaways in the attacking half & deep runners catching offside trap. Emery called for calm & will need an improvement
Unai Emery: "We can analyse one year when I arrived here and the mentality I wanted to create. "I'm very proud of them (players) after one year and I want more. Today was a key moment if we could really be contenders to be in the top seven, and we lost the opportunity." #AVFC
Asked Unai Emery about the problems posed by Forest sitting deep. Praised #AVFC for the progress shown this year but he still wants "more" from their mentality. "If we want to be in the top 7 teams, we have to reduce the type of mistakes we did today."

FT: Forest 2-0 #AVFC Villa not at the races - how you feared they'd lose, happened. Slow with the ball, soon ran out of ideas and could never stop Forest's threat vs the high line. Emery looked increasingly exasperated by the end, which summed up the performance. An off day.
#AVFC have conceded early at the start of both halves. Emery will be hugely frustrated - his players look dishevelled and ruffled, not in keeping with the control he always wants.
HT: Forest 1-0 #AVFC Intriguing 45. Pattern was basically set by the 1st minute. Villa tasked with breaking down a side prepared to sit & launch forward on transition. Red shirts queuing up to run behind at times. Villa need to be more snappy with and without the ball, in truth
