VILLA report

Just Aston Villa

[1874 Lions @1874TheLions]

🚨 Monchi reveals how Unai Emery tried to bring him to Arsenal and PSG before finally getting his man at Aston Villa.

After years of attempts, the pair reunited at Villa - and Monchi says the Emery he knew in Birmingham was a “much better Unai”.

Could their partnership have gone even further at Villa?

Manzambi already acting the part of the main man at a huge club. Taken some sloppy Bruno like shots from distance when better options available but had an air of “chill, I’ll deliver in the end”. Great coup for Villa to pluck him ahead of Newcastle.

[Dan Bardell @danbardell]

A year ago, not many #AVFC fans were massively excited by Victor Lindelof arriving at the club.

Nobody is probably massively excited by him now either, but he has become a dependable and valuable member of Emery's squad.

Some words on "the ice man".

🚨Alejandro Garnacho has played just 31 minutes for Aston Villa this season

He’s been an unused substitute for Villa's past four matches

[VILLA report @Villa_report]

Parisians, stop with your delusion about the 7 goals conceded and all that. Just take the time to watch one of those matches, you'll be blown away by his saves and his quality with the ball at his feet (it's just mind-blowing how he can launch guided passes from 30 meters).

🚨 L’Angleterre est déjà choquée par Zion Suzuki, la recrue tant désirée par le PSG ! 😱

6 matches disputés, dont 5 titularisations, 495 minutes, 7 buts encaissés et 1 clean sheet avec Aston Villa.

La presse anglaise est conquise par ses arrêts et son jeu au pied, au point de faire oublier Emiliano Martinez chez les Villans. 👀

Le PSG peut-il avoir des regrets ? 🤔

[John Townley @johntownley11]

There was an acceptance that replacing Emi Martinez would inevitably mean a downgrade for Aston Villa, but Zion Suzuki has been a revelation.

Suzuki has performed like that every time he’s played for us. If anything, his distribution at the start was the worst he’s been. The reason I say this is cos we chose to spend money on him, he’s part of our team & will win us pts. You stuck with Kinsky. Who gets blame for that?

[𝑷𝑹𝑶 @ProN17_]

Its tough but we really do have to stick by RDZ and give him the chance to get it right. We need to remind ourselves, if it wasnt for him, we'd have gone down last season, thats fact

Against Villa it was literally just Tottenhams rotten cursed luck, that Suzuki put in arguably the best game hes ever played in his entire life. Those early saves gave Villa 3pts because had we gone 2-0 up, we would have had complete control of the game and we would be sitting here right now going into the international break mid table and with full belief that we can potentially get top 8

Instead we are all left wondering if we are in for another relegation fight this season and its all because of one man. One mans performance has made us question absolutely everything this club done in the Summer window and what its doing under RDZ. Had it not been for that one man, the mood at the club, and from the media would be in complete contrast to what it is now

Suzuki - potential to be as good as or better than Martinez (🤯)
Rugerri - potential to be as good as Digne
Wan Bissaka - upgrade on Garcia
Gomes - brilliant
Mbaye - potential far beyond Bailey
Manzambi - potentially as good as Rogers
Jackson - ✅Watkins replacement

[John Townley @johntownley11]

Since Unai Emery's first match in charge of Aston Villa in November 2022, the club have now won 20 Premier League games against the 'commercial big six' teams - more than any other side.

It’s very sad. He’s the only one who left, who I was actually gutted to see go. Can you imagine Youri linking up with Jackson, Manzambi and Mbaye. He would have been in his element. Sadly, you make choices and there are consequences.

[Liam LS @SmithLovelace]

Says everything doesn’t it United fans hating on Youri , he’s slow he’s shit blah blah blah. The downfall to being coached by Carrick from Emery is HUGE. We all knew it we most certainly had Youri best years that’s for sure #UTV #AVFC

[Najim Medini @NajimMedini]

Johan Manzambi c’est un profil assez rare je trouve. C’est un numéro 10 avec des aptitudes d’ailier. Il est percutant, a de la puissance dans ses courses et en même temps il est à l’aise pour éliminer à l’arrêt. Aime se projeter aussi, déjà buteur pour sa 1ère titularisation.

[Chino @ChinoUTD]

🚨 Didier Drogba on Nicolas Jackson at Aston Villa:

“I’ve always said there’s a very good striker in Nicolas. Sometimes even he doesn’t know what he’s going to do, so imagine being the defender.

You watch him today and see defenders couldn’t settle. He runs behind you, comes short, turns you, creates space from nothing. Then sometimes he gets to the easiest part and reminds you he’s Nicolas Jackson.

But that’s the frightening thing. Finishing can improve. How do you teach somebody to naturally cause this much trouble?

If he stays at Villa for years, I think those supporters could absolutely fall in love with him. Because once a striker gives you goals, flair and entertainment every weekend, you stop asking whether everything looks perfect.

And if Nicolas ever becomes as consistent in front of goal as he is at getting himself there…

then Aston Villa have a serious problem. Because every bigger club will suddenly remember his phone number.”

[Matt Law @Matt_Law_DT]

Difference between the two sides today were the strikers and the keepers. Villa have a proper out and out striker and a proper keeper. Spurs.... #thfc #avfc

[beyond90 @beyond90ftbl]

🇫🇷All Boubacar Kamara (26) needs to do is stay fit this season and he’s in different conversations

Constantly putting out fires in this Aston Villa midfield, so reliable in possession, able to set the tempo and keep his side ticking

Such a reliable player when he’s on the pitch with a profile so valuable in the modern game.

Wonderful footballer who’s struggled slightly with injuries over the last few years. He’s showing everyone why Villa fans love him so much with his performance today

the french general.

[Jacob Tanswell @J_Tanswell]

Asked Emery about #AVFC being more willing to go direct from deep this season: "We signed Suzuki because he's a fantastic goalkeeper, saving in his goal, and because he has qualities in build-up like we want - playing in combination short and because he has a very long ball when they opponent are coming to us in a high press, man to man. Now there are a lot of teams doing it.

"We must adapt quickly to how football is evolving, and one clear evolution is how the teams are facing man-to-man all over the pitch."

[Jacob Tanswell @J_Tanswell]

This is why Emery beds in new signings. They have to adjust to his structure - the most important component at #AVFC. He doesn't bend to them. He then uses their qualities to enhance the structure. Villa can keep the foundations secure while Spurs, blooding in all their new signings with far less stable foundations, look this ragged and shapeless. This is the reason.

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Buendia brilliant. Villa rampant. Spurs ragged. Villa a team with a game-plan, a togetherness and a hunger with a leader in John McGinn setting the tone. Spurs bereft of belief, ideas, goal threat and leaders. #TOTAVL
