People talk about how Pep Guardiola is changing how football is played. Emery is changing everything, and silently doing so

[@tristanedwards1340]

Thing is majority of his players was probably fringe players or championship players To show the whole footballing world what can be achieved by proper coaching Arteta they keep mentioning is no where near because he hasn’t made anyone into a star he buys expensive players and after season 1 how many are worth what he paid Emery makes stars

Great overview. Only critique, would be right at the end, where you correctly mention the important long term injuries to three of our players in Mings, Buendia and Kamara for all or most of last season ... All those players are ALSO due to make their comeback in the team any day now. So that is a MASSIVE additional boost to Aston Villa's squad depth and experience for this season. UTV!

My only critique is they drew 2-2 with ipswich and looked like the newly promoted team. Were lucky to take a point.

​@@ellis-loweBc they have good scouting networks

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

@@ellis-loweVilla spend extremely sensibly. Even in this transfer window, bought Barkley for next to nothing and he’s already become important. Last year, Rogers for single digits and Tielemans on a free. Balanced with big money for Douglas Luiz and Diaby, neither of whom were irreplaceable last season. Bringing in the youth and integrating them, Philogene coming back and actually starting in the Bayern game giving an impressive performance. Every player completely clear on their role and their responsibility, no fuss or drama, plenty of rotation, yes the injuries are difficult and are stacking up and yes we have gaps in our defensive lineup but our manager isn’t stubborn - he always knows how to make the best of what’s available. Meanwhile more players are coming back from injury and there’s enough depth to keep going, we play a pragmatic game that doesn’t wear players out early (which is what hurt Newcastle and Liverpool in recent seasons). Hopefully we can get top 5 again, the issue is that Chelsea and Spurs won’t make it easy

[@dennisgoatimer1079]

It's amazing and to think since the 2nd game against Arsenal we either had to play a kid whose a CDM/CB by trade at RB(speaks volumes of what he thinks of Kosta quite frankly) or shift our best CB to RB and play Diego which you just don't know what Diego you're getting you're either getting the Diego we saw against Bayern or City last season or you get the Diego we saw against Ipswich. Hopefully with Cashy coming back now we can continue the form and he performs like he before the injury as for all his flaws he's pretty good. Buendia getting back to fitness bit by bit with McGinn,Mings and Kamara still to come. You said Diaby was one of our best players last season but on the eye test he didn't look it technically he did play well by the stats as well as Bailey even but the eye test doesn't back that up for whatever reason. Philogene though what a player he was a workhorse against Bayern. Also Watkins massively underrated he doesn't get the kudos that he deserves for the people who don't watch Villa I get the whole start Durán over him arguement but if you really watch us that shouldn't be a question Watkins over Durán the only debate really is whether to play them both or not. I won't change a winning formula Watkins tiring out the defence with Durán finishing them off.

[@sunshinemoonshine4022]

I think you need to get your eyes checked

[@aDragonMC_2_]

It's genius. Watkins terrorises the defence for an hour and Duran comes on and finishes it off. I don't think either of them will fully be happy about it, but my god is it working

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

@@aDragonMC_2_ exactly, no need to fix what isn’t broken. Honestly out of the two of them I’d say Duran is getting the much better end of the deal right now! Ollie is the unsung hero (by casuals - Villa fans know his worth), must be tough to put all that work in only to get subbed off and see Duran get brilliant goals, but that’s exactly why we love Watkins so much, he’s the least selfish striker of his calibre that there is. Immensely underrated for his creativity and assists too. He’s going to continue to start and deservedly so.

[@RoxyArietis]

I mean... Durán is only 20 y/o so him only scoring single digit goals in the MLS is not something bad.

[@EnriqueBartulac]

There are some inconsistencies though for example against Ipswich Town (which has been largely foreshadowed by their performance vs Bayern). That’s true for any up and coming team, but it’s still going to affect them.

[@STST]

Yes. Ipswich Town made them look very average. And for a newly promoted team too. Aston Villa are nothing special. Just met Bayern on a bad day. They won't be finishing 4th again. Lucky to finish top 8. Ipswich made them look like a poor team. It didn't take much.

He was always gonna do good, Aston Villa has the word villa in it, remember what he did at seVILLA?

[@benjaminjames5157]

Villa have sold players and not replaced their quality in the past because we had to sort out the books. Randy had taken huge financial hits post 2008 market crash and was struggling, and then when Xia brought the club in 2016, within a year we were nearly in administration due to his poor financials. The big main change that has occurred is Nassif and Wes coming in and committing to take Aston Villa to old new heights again. They appointed Unai and allowed him to bring in his own staff and make their own transfer decisions. They would have accomplished a lot more already if the dumb PSR FFP regs weren’t in place to protect the big 6. Upward from here. UTV

[@user-ed7et3pb4o]

Also, we’re now in the incredible position of having top players play with us at their PRIME, instead of having to sell our young talents or buy old injury prone players. It makes such a difference. We’re going to get prime Rogers, Onana, Tielemans, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen. We have prime Watkins and prime Martinez. Emi is a legend for how much he’s done for the club, not just in terms of performance but his belief and confidence is season-changing. We’ve got a great bunch and the best thing is that all of them seem to love being here and want to stay here (maybe except Duran, but that’s alright as long as he keeps scoring😂)

I think Watkins should still start, I still think Jhon Duran is an excellent player, but I think he's working really well as a last bit of energy to truly destroy the defense

[@SimBir08]

Would be an easy decision to make if Ollie wasn't also scoring goals. They would be a menace to any defence if they played together but Unai has tried in the past and said it didn't work. But in the 2nd half vs Wovles they were both on so maybe there is hope.

It's one thing to downplay Villa's achievements, but to say they are not Premier League quality is a bit silly. In the 33 seasons since the formation of the Prem, Villa have been part of 30....and if you wanna go back further you'll realise Villa are very much a mainstay of the top flight in England. Also given they finished fourth last season, you are implying that everyone from Spurs downwards is also not Premier League quality, so would be interested to know the 14 teams from elsewhere in the football pyramid who you think are...
