After Leverkusen, you mentioned that managers seem to come to Anfield
00:03
and change their game plan a lot.
00:05
Thinking about Aston Villa, they've got such depth in their squad,
00:08
not only in personnel, but in terms of style,
00:10
when you think about the difference between maybe a John McGinn
00:13
or a Leon Bailey in the right wing,
00:15
or even Edry Contra in the right-back or Edry Contra in the centre-back.
00:18
With the team with so many options, but also in a bit of a bad moment at the moment,
00:23
how hard is it to try and game-plan for all the different permutations?
00:27
If you ask me now, I would say it's not that difficult,
00:30
because Unai Emery has played in a similar style for years now at Aston Villa.
00:36
It's almost always the same formation,
00:42
but it sometimes depends on the player,
00:45
that you can have different characteristics.
00:47
But his style of play, his idea about football has always been the same.
00:53
And I think Unai's saying this, that also was the situation with Xabi Alonso,
00:59
who we studied for I don't know how many games,
01:02
but never once he came up with the idea of playing Boniface as a left winger
01:06
and playing without a number 9, that he hasn't done at all before we played them.
01:11
But that's maybe also a compliment.
01:13
Most managers feel that we have a very good team,
01:19
so they think they have to change their game plan,
01:21
not their playing style, but their game plan a bit.
01:24
If you ask me now, do you expect Unai to change a lot,
01:29
I would not expect that, because he never did this,
01:33
not if he played City and also not when he played Liverpool in the past few years.
01:39
But in terms of personnel he can change a bit, like you just said,
01:43
he has a different option in the full-back and in the wings,
01:46
but it's always been a 4-4-2 that he's been playing for many years now.
