NO FUSS, NO SHOWBOATING JUST A STEADY HAND ON THE VILLA TILLER

HE is one of many examples but let's take Jurgen Klopp on a big European night at Anfield.

Where would you have found him after a particularly memorable win? Actually where would you have found him after any win? In front of the Kop, doing the airpunching routine.

Fair enough, the fans loved it and in modern football, Klopp's antics are the norm rather than the exception.

We are all responsible - supporters, the media, ex-pros - for the cult of the high-profile manager.

There have always been managers who bask in the limelight but, nowadays, there seems to be more of them than ever.

And that is why Unai Emery remains a breath of fresh air.

When Radu Petrescu called time on one of THE great nights at wonderful Villa Park, what did Emery do? He shook the hand of Vincent Kompany, spun on his heels and walked briskly to the tunnel, politely acknowledging the congratulations that accompanied him. Not really a big deal and it is what Emery does.
