Take a bow Unai Emery and Aston Villa.
They lost their spine, their quality, their experience, their leadership this summer...
It would have sunk most clubs.
But through smart recruitment (Jackson, Manzambi, Mbaye, Suzuki, Joao Gomes etc), excellent leadership from the likes of McGinn, Cash and Lindelof and smart management from Emery...
They've gone again.
7 matches unbeaten, the first side to even take points off City in the Premier League, let alone beat them... up to 5th, 3 wins from 3 in the Champions League...
It's a serious achievement!
A rather outrageous penalty from Youri Tielemans. Under that pressure, the mental fortitude required to back your technique and to retain that level of precision was quite unbelievable. In a difficult, rather poor Belgium team, he brought the fight and quality
What a night at Villa Park to secure champions league football again 😍 An unbelievable effort from the boys this season with some very tough competition. 10 goals in the one season has been an ambition of mine my whole career and I’m proud to finally have done it! Now we refocus for one last job. Enjoy the week stay safe, see you in Istanbul and UP THE VILLA ✈️ 🇹🇷
Staying positive as always. Take the point and move on, every one of them counts. Just spending the evening doing some design work.
What ya think about this away mock up?
