The Prophet Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 4 minutes ago, Orphanage said: Because Emery was our first choice and hes seemingly done a better and quicker job than Howe ( with less money i might add ) Considering he started from a much higher platform and is yet to achieve anything, I'd disagree. Granted both are very good coaches and Emery could do well this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His points per game is better than Howe’s, but Emery’s starting point was far superior. I think they’re both excellent managers tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir_9 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) Find the Emery/Howe debate a bit pointless. Howe finished above Emery last year and beat him 5-1 this year so on a head to head Howe can beat an Emery side If you look at it outside of just head to head, Emery is the more experienced and accomplished manager at the top level but this does not mean Howe doesn't have the nous to get himself to a level even higher than what he's accomplished for us so far. As others have said, the situation we find ourself in should not be the end for Howe but it may very well be if it is repeated and not learnt from and addressed properly next season. If Villa qualify for Champions League lets see how their domestic season plays out next year, and in fact lets how their domestic season ends up playing out this year. They might still finish 5th rather than top 4. My hope is (just like many others here) Howe wins us many things and becomes the best manager he can be during his time year.

We had a worse squad and were in a far worse position than Villa when Emery took over. It’s not even debatable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have us down as having a lot more potential for success in the future. Villa could end up winning the Conference League this season but we'd probably do the same if it was us in it.

Hanshithispantz Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I wonder what Emery and his unwavering high line would have done if he was here atm to have us in the top 4 apparently. Resort to witchcraft? Shamanism? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) Possession football still requires energy, running, and speed. Creative players need others to make runs for them to actually be creative. We've blown away some teams sit back this season already. To me, it seems to be a confidence thing. The board need to back him in January. Edited December 23, 2023 by Gallowgate Toon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Eddie is without doubt the man for this club with its owners modus operandi of a slow build to the top 6. Our performance last season has led to a false dawn and that has fucked up the heads of the “I want it all, now” types on here. A quick look at the table has us 7th, above manu and Chelski. Something almost unimaginable just a couple of seasons ago. We are still on trajectory and the right man is still in charge. Merry Christmas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery is the more accomplished and experienced manager at the top level for sure but for one reason or another didn't come here in the end and I don't think Villa will be willing to let him go anytime soon. Even at the point if/when this club decides to replace Howe next year (if that happens). I hope it doesn't come to that because like the majority of people I hope this is all a lesson learnt for Eddie and I hope he is the one to continue his good work so far and improve on it.

Decky Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 If we have a bad January and lose to the mackems I can see a substantial section of the fanbase turning against Howe. It would be a real shame for it to happen but football fans are fickle. Given how difficult January looks we have to beat Forest in a few days, a bad result there will only make it way worse.
