Aston Villa, whose performance has been sluggish since the start of the season, was eliminated in the third lap of the League Cup in the early morning of Wednesday (17th). Head coach Emery's coach position may be in crisis and has been listed as the next fifth popular figure for the head coach by lottery companies. However, Emery defended that the team's performance has improved and was confident that Villa can rebound quickly.

Villa won 0 goals and scored 0 goals in four Premier League games. On Wednesday's League Cup away, Elliot finally broke Villa's "goal drought" before halftime, but Brentford tied the score by Hickey in the 57th minute of the game and was eliminated in the final victory of the 12-yard penalty shootout.

Lottery company William Hill listed Emery as the next head coach in the Premier League to be 15 times the loss, ranking behind Porter of West Ham United, Amorim of Manchester United, Pereira and Farge of Wolves. Former Villa's chief scout Mick Brown also said: "Emery has a lot of achievements in coaching Aston Villa, but when can she eat her old fortune like this? What if she cannot win in 5, 6 or 7 consecutive games? If Villa's performance continues to not improve, Emery's good days will end."

Emery still maintains confidence after the game: "The team's current performance has improved, and it is important for the team to score goals at the beginning. This game deserves a better ending. I think it is important for the team to improve all the way. I will continue to work hard to improve and focus on preparing for the next league."
