Brighton beating Chelsea.

Loving that there is a full rafter of 3pm games today, feels like it's been a minute since there has been 8 Premier League games on a Saturday.

The absolute state of modern "Journalism", stealing comments from some online forum ffs

Leicester 1 v 3 Man City Bournemouth 0 v 2 Spurs Brentford 1 v 1 Wolves Brighton 2 v 1 Chelsea Palace 1 v 1 Southampton Newcastle 2 v 0 Villa Fulham 3 v 1 Everton Liverpool 3 v 0 Leeds Arsenal 3 v 1 Forest Man United 2 v 2 West Ham

If that was his plan, he's even shitter then I thought he was, as that was not what was happening on the pitch (Admittedly i've only watched Villa 2/3 times this season, so I could be wrong)

Emery was probably my first "realistic" choice last year, as he's a top quality Champions League level manager, that plays pragmatic yet effective football, whose results have spoke for themselves, which it what I thought we needed at the time. Obviously was delighted with Howe and fucking love the man now, but was disappointed when Emery turned us down. I'm curious what @brummiethoughts are on this appointment, as it sounds like Gerrard just played anti-football which was depressing on the eyes, which was one of the many reasons he got the sack, and the complaints where that Villa have all these attacking players playing a system that focused more on defense (that may be wrong, just what I observed from the outside), however Emery also plays more conservatively and is not a particularly attacking coach that gets teams playing exciting football, so I wonder if them same concerns will be applicable, he's obviously an elite manager, who would actually know what he's doing, whereas Gerrard knew the square sum of fuck all, which will probably make it much easier to swallow, atleast until they go on a bad run.

I get your point, but we have also started Sean Longstaff in CM in 7 of our games this season.
