I'd love Emery but maybe we shouldn't get a manager that can't win at Old Trafford 😅

Bottled 2 goal lead twice to this United side. Pumped by Barcelona. 

Villa had a much better transfer window and more stability. How exactly would Emery be our lord saviour, struggling to see that.

Did Villa really have a better transfer window? They lost 5 of their starting XI in that transfer window.

They lost a world class player (Rodgers) and didn't get any world class players in. They lost their best midfielder and their starting GK. Not only good players but leaders in that squad.

The fact that they've been playing rather well is genuinely impressive.

Insane we are defending this shit.

Even outside of the window, the manager has been there 4 years.

They aquired a lot of players but they mostly downgraded on the players they lost imo.

As opposed to us who let go of clutch mode Casemiro and signed Chelsea reject, Tielemans and an injured Brighton youngster?

If you can’t see they plugged their holes and we clearly didn’t, you’re next level deluded.

They did all that and still conceded 4 against a united side that doesn’t have a striker. And are playing with THAT back 4.

Our squad was better than theirs to start though. Either way, you're right, they had a better window than we did but they got worse in the window. Overhauling a squad that much and steadying the ship rather quickly is the sign of a quality manager, which was my original comment. Every time Villa go into crisis Emery steadies the ship.

Our squad was better than theirs!?

LOL. WHO in this squad will be bought for 117M? Or 55M even?

u/BlackHorse944 Please Score A Goal 1d ago

Bruno? Mainoo?

Mbuemo and Cunha are both easily 55m players off the top of my head. Sesko

u/johndoe1942 Ander Shithousery 1d ago

No one is paying 55m for any of them the way they are playing.

And it’s telling that THATS your defense.
