""We are disappointed and frustrated - not for the result, because we should win this match playing with one more player, but the most important thing is how," Emery said. "And we have to try to recover and work again with our identity, playing with a style we want to build and a style we had positive experiences with, being successful. "My frustration is more with that. There is still work to do; some players are adapting in the squad and our idea, and they will need time."
""Other players were here last year and know how we want to build the team and how we were being successful in the last three years. "Our start, we've not been doing well. We drew and we didn't lose. That is a positive thing, but it's not enough. "Now, I'm a little bit worried, not for the result and how we are in the table, but more so how we are not playing with our identity, trying to dominate and impose with the players we have, playing in our style.""
Aston Villa conceded an equaliser to Sunderland despite having a numerical advantage after Reinildo Mandava was sent off. Matty Cash scored Villa's first goal of the season in the 67th minute, but Wilson Isidor levelled eight minutes later. Villa created late chances but failed to convert, leaving the club on three points from five league matches and still seeking a first win. Manager Unai Emery expressed frustration with the team's lack of identity and urged a return to the style that brought past success. New players are adapting and further work is needed ahead of Europa League fixtures.
