Aston Villa suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Monaco, missing a crucial chance to secure a place in the Champions League knockout stages. Defender Tyrone Mings criticized the team's overall display, citing lack of inspiration and poor execution following an early goal conceded. Despite the setback, he emphasized the need for a consistent attitude, both in victory and defeat. Manager Unai Emery expressed mixed feelings, recognizing that while the team had moments of good play, they ultimately fell short of previous performances and failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities, leading to a frustrating outcome.
Tyrone Mings stated, "Football's a very simple game, and we weren't good enough." This reflects the team's honest realization of their shortfall in the match.
Mings emphasized the importance of maintaining a consistent mindset: "We have to try to stay balanced and be the same if we won when we lose."
Manager Unai Emery acknowledged the team's performance was not up to par compared to previous matches: "I think we played 70 minutes like I want. The opponent has a gameplan as well."
Emery noted their missed opportunities, stressing the need to convert chances: "Of course if we want to be at this level we have to take the chances we create."
