Of course he’d say that because he’s an Aston Villa fan. As an Arsenal fan, Emery is getting overhyped and people are conveniently forgetting that he was awful in his second season at Arsenal and was rightfully sacked. Its easier to be successful with a club like Villa where the expectation isn’t that big

[@jeannotschumacher1024]

Agreed. But i still loved him at our vlub. He did his best. But unfortunately the chelsea defeat in the uefa league final cost him his job.

[@ajcalee]

Has gabby won anything ?

[@garywallace5602]

Villa, have had a decent season, and fair play to them. However, it's mainly down to United, Chelsea and Spursy underperforming. Same as Newcastle last season. Liverpool and Chelsea underperformed, allowing them to get top 4.

[@tomclaydon92]

Quality thinking from gabby as always Edit: this comment is sarcasm if it wasn’t obvious already lol

[@zj9cz]

Emery - 4 Europa League Titles between Sevilla/Villareal 1 League Title with PSG, 2x French version of the FA Cup and 2x French version of the League Cup. Basically the same win percentage at Arsenal as Arteta (look it up] before he was gone with a worse squad. Arteta - 1 FA Cup in 5 seasons and finished twice (including this season) in the champions league places. How much has Arteta spent? Even if they win the league, the point stands.

[@varashylov]

And also Emery was absolutelly awful with Arsenal. Didnt expect him to win the squad was bad but he got spanked left right and centre (by Villa as wel btw), dude has one tactic and thats about it. And Conference league Im sorry but Villa spent more than all teams there combined and cant win it. You like Emery? Fine keep him but dont hype him here its a joke. And btw PSG? Really? You can put a dog there they will still win that league by about 55 points. The players had no respect for him.

[@HearszAM]

Emery is also responsible for the biggest bottling in CL history. PSG led the first leg 4-0, and lost the second leg 6-1 against Barca. Even with all those resources (look at the players he had and how much the squad was worth), he showed what a bang-average manager he is and he couldn’t cut it at a big club. Same in the Europa Final against Chelsea. People keep going on about Arteta winning the FA Cup with Emery’s team? How did Emery go against Chelsea the year before with ‘his’ squad? They got battered 4-1 in the final. He’s a cup manager. Even Lampard could win the f**king French league. Emery has proven nothing and if losing in the Europa Conference over two legs to Olympiakos isn’t proof, then it will be next season when Villa have to juggle the league and CL next season.

[@HearszAM]

Emery is a jammy manager. Sure, Villa beat City and Arsenal, but also threw away a two-goal lead against a Chelsea side that were battered by Arsenal three days prior, lucky to salvage a point at home to Sheffield United, and thrashed by an inconsistent Spurs at home. He's labelled a tactical genius when he beats the big teams, but not a word said when Villa drop points or lose games to teams they should be beating. No way on earth is he the second-best manager in the league, Agbonlahor is only saying this because he's ex-Villa.

[@victorogu2001]

Unai Emery has never been a top of the table coach and it doesn't look like he will ever be. Aston Villa is currently at the highest they can be on the table with Emery.
