Thank you Unai Emery.. I rate him highly, but the universe smiled upon us with this one.

To be fair, there’s nothing to suggest Emery would not have done as good of a job, he’s been just as transformative for Villa as Howe has been for us. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t win them a trophy by the end of next season. Could well be the FA Cup this year, more than likely in the semi final and only one of Sky’s six left.

Wouldn’t swap him got Howe and not saying anyone here is doing it but Emery has got to be one of the most disrespected managers of the modern era. I honestly think it’s just that stint at Arsenal. Hes got an insane record. 3 Europas on the bounce and then another with Villarreal. Great manager

I don't think Emery is disrespected at all, if anything I'd say the opposite.

He doesn't come across as well as Howe, all the good ebening bants etc. 
Howe is more of a fit for us I'd say. 

With Monchi and Villa, the Spanish connection and their style of recycling the squad every summer, he fits better over there. 

Howe prefers stability, continuity etc as a big part of his approach is team bonding, identity, work ethic and culture. 
Emery is more of a master tactician

Unlike Emery, I love how Howe’s career is on this journey with us if that makes sense. Kind of makes Sunday sweeter that it wasn’t just a huge moment for us the way we got that monkey off our backs but same with Howe getting his first major trophy. He will no doubt be on cloud 9. And no doubt hungry for more. 

 

Tactically he got it so spot on, the level of prep for the game obviously started weeks ago when he didn’t show our full hand at Anfield. The set piece tactic worked a fucking treat. After rewatching the game in full it would’ve been a travesty if we hadn’t won the game, we played the best team in the country by some distance off the park. 
 

I want this to be the first of many that he wins us. But regardless of what happens he goes down in history as one of our best ever. I don’t think it’s fair comparing him to Keegan, as the circumstances were different. But his name belongs in the same breath and ultimately he is the man who has brought us silverware.

Emery wouldn’t have gotten the club the way Howe does. Eddie is part of the fabric. Unai would’ve just been a manager.

Our best manager in the last 50 years. Look at what he inherited, what he’s improved, look at what he’s done with what he’s had, look at the restrictions he has that others didn’t, look at the competition he faces domestically and abroad, and yes, SBR and KK are legends for what they did in football and what they did for us. Howe to me is firmly their bracket first of all, but secondly, for me he’s all time. The thing I want to stress is this - we are just getting started under Eddie. 
 

Bring it on.
