Difference between Gerrard and Emery has been night and day, also their recruitment has been superb (bar Tielemans).
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.
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.
Kovavic -> Barkley
Barkley -> Kovacic
Every 70th minute. We remember
Definitely last season. Unai was picking up about 2 points per game with Gerrard's squad.
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.
Tielemans has had his moments, plus he came on a free.
We'll take that Tielemans right off your hands, don't worry
It's OK, Gerrard has found his managerial level now.
It’s a shame that these stats ignore cup games, it’d make us look boss :(
…well, except for the 4-0, that’s less boss.
Good Ebening sir Unai
Let this tired joke die
Bipolar much🤦
Has this been Emery's best league performance? I dont remember Sevilla or PSG going on a run like this
This is the 4th 10+ game home winning streak in his career, crazy record
Arsenal went on a bender aswell with like 17 consecutive wins/draws
Happy for him. Didn’t deserve to be made so mich fun of at arsenal
Emery masterclass, can see them winning the Conference league comfortably as well, only competitor I can think off will be Fenerbahce and the teams that might come from EL.

We got a rude awakening in the Conference League when we went to Poland, at the moment the group we are in has basically been reset with all four teams in it having the same number of points and the same goal difference (3 points and +/-0 GD) after two games. We go to AZ on Thursday which is a really big game for us, it's a "must not lose" fixture as far as I can tell, but at their place and in the form they are in it's going to be a tricky task.
Saying this in October is absolutely insane behaviour
=[
“The teams that might come from EL” is a very wide selection. They might win the Conf but definitely not comfortably like you seem to claim
Unai is not appreciated enough. This guy does excellent work nearly everywhere he goes.
That picture of Emery there is perfect.
"You like that, aye? Want more of that, aye?"
Who are they playing next?
home league wins
Dibu <3
I'm very okay with Aston Villa pulling off a Leicester City this season
i'm not
Congrats to our old manager. He deserves it all👏🏾
I so badly want to see this team make the top 4.
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
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
Aston villa on its way to getting qualified for Europa league..
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.
Hope this isn't now a jijx for the next home match
The Villan Arc
Who was the last team to beat them there?
Must be a nice season ticket
Aston Villa Europa League 2025 champions confirmed
Crazy stat
The Villa midfield is quality, Luiz, McGinn, Kamara is really strong. Tielemens if he can find his feet is only going to help
Good ebening - Emery Unai
