Emery was satisfied with the team's performance in the first 30 minutes, during which they dominated the game and created scoring opportunities.

However, Villa conceded ground in the final 15 minutes of the first half, allowing Liverpool to gain momentum and ultimately score a goal that was initially flagged offside, but later stood due to a review.

Villa struggled to regain their footing in the second half, and Liverpool scored their second goal, securing a 2-0 win.

Despite the disappointing result, Emery praised the team's effort and determination, highlighting their ability to compete and create chances throughout the match.

He also acknowledged the importance of the team's recent performances against Tottenham and Manchester City, which have given them confidence to continue improving and pushing for a better table position.

Emery expressed gratitude to the supporters, who traveled to Liverpool to show their support and enthusiasm, despite the team not achieving a positive result.
