No goals but Emery knows Villa's forwards need time

Aston Villa have endured a difficult start to their Premier League campaign, tallying just one goal in their first three games and failing to convert a single shot on target. This has left manager Unai Emery realizing that the team's forwards require time to adjust and gel as a unit. Emery, who has overseen significant changes in the attacking department, is optimistic about Nicolas Jackson's potential to step into the void left by the departing Ollie Watkins.

Jackson, a £65 million signing, has already impressed in his first two games, but questions remain regarding how well he will integrate with new arrivals like Ibrahim Mbaye and Alejandro Garnacho. Mbaye's ability to create chances and provide assists for Jackson has yet to be fully realized, as he only made 25 minutes of top-flight football for Chelsea last season.

Emery acknowledges the challenge of integrating 10 new players into the squad, highlighting the need for patience and focusing on each match as they progress towards their Champions League opener against Club Brugge.
