Aston villa on its way to getting qualified for Europa league…
Difference between Gerrard and Emery has been night and day, also their recruitment has been superb (bar Tielemans).
Tielemans has had his moments, plus he came on a free.
Hopefully Tielemans has turned a corner, he came on and set up Bailey’s goal yesterday.
Yeah I mean his ability was never the issue, but his workrate and stamina.
Hardest thing to build. IIRC Kovacic had similar issues when he came to Chelsea from Real.
Took few seasons for him to stand on his knees upto 75mins mark.
Kovavic -> Barkley
Barkley -> Kovacic
Every 70th minute. We remember
Difference is Tielemans has been in the prem for years and is actively regressing in that regard
Playing at the highest level for so long probably fucks your knees and joints up as well.
It’s OK, Gerrard has found his managerial level now.
Definitely last season. Unai was picking up about 2 points per game with Gerrard’s squad.
We’ll take that Tielemans right off your hands, don’t worry
Villa were very close to going down a bad path but they realised that Christian Purslow who wanted to bring in his favourite Liverpool players was the problem and got rid accordingly.
Congrats to our old manager. He deserves it all👏🏾
home league wins
Dibu <3
I’m very okay with Aston Villa pulling off a Leicester City this season
i’m not
Give Unai a half decent team and he’ll make it into a European contender; the man is a legend.
Good motherfuckingEbening !
Getting emery was a major coup for villa
I so badly want to see this team make the top 4.
Happy for Emery, after seeing how the fans and players at arsenal mocked him… deserved another chance in the Prem. Always remember when he returned against us in the Europa, knocked us out and didn’t even celebrate… classy bloke
Unai has been very underestimate since his time at Arsenal
The Villa midfield is quality, Luiz, McGinn, Kamara is really strong. Tielemens if he can find his feet is only going to help
People were writing Emery off after the Newcastle game lol
Sports strategy is sports strategy
I think it’s great to see Unai stick it to all the losers who laughed at his accent while at Arsenal, he’s a top man and top coach.
