Aston Villa's manager Unai Emery admitted to making a tactical error by playing two strikers during the team's 1-0 Champions League defeat against Monaco. Despite starting with Ollie Watkins and later bringing on Jhon Duran, Emery noted that this formation disrupted the team's organization. With four shots on target in the first half, Villa struggled after the break, managing only one more. Emery expressed confidence in the players but recognized the necessity of converting opportunities to compete at higher levels.
I made a mistake when I decided to play with two strikers. Until that moment, we were more or less controlling the game.
The last 20 to 25 minutes we were playing with two strikers and we were not threatening like the first 70 minutes.
