nufc123 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Just now, The Prophet said: They were no where near until their January business came good. Hence the second part of my point, Asensio and Rashford gave them momentum. Of course it helped. Its not allowed to do smart business in January?

The College Dropout Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 2 minutes ago, The Prophet said: They were no where near until their January business came good. Hence the second part of my point, Asensio and Rashford gave them momentum. Overall last year they coped well with CL football though. And that was the opposite of your claim.

Pilko Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 1 minute ago, Yorkie said: It's just a stupid observation. Villa have been absolute shite plenty this season, including against us in the cup when we beat them comfortably. Aye, plenty shite having just secured CL football with a game to spare. Must be sorcery or dumb luck managing to do that when you have to play two or three games a week, can't be any other explanation. Also, you cite one game as an example, what about the one at St James where they absolutely walked all over us for the duration? Doesn't fit your narrative I suppose.

Kilcline Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Villa can get in the bin but I'm pleased it's going to work out for them and Dracula after all the ridiculous pearl clutching around their team and performance against Tottenham. They did the right thing for themselves and are going to be vindicated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I think they play a very measured style fully aware of the workload, and they always look pretty defensively solid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said they hadn't been shite; they have. Plenty of times. They're where they are on merit and credit to them; they're a good side and Emery has objectively done a terrific job. But what's got them there was an absolutely unstoppable run between October and Christmas. Other than that they've blown hot and cold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 To put it in context. The first time we didn't cope with the Champions League and had a mad injury crisis. We finished on 60 points. Fine margins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had some seriously iffy spells, and some seriously good ones. The away at your place was our last really convincing away league performance. We've just had successive shite results against teams we should really have beaten. We've managed to 'manage' the whole season brilliantly, though, and Emery deserves huge credit for that. You also look at the sort of performances John McGinn has put in recently, too, those don't get plucked out of the air. Emery isn't perfect, he's got plenty of things wrong this season (Spurs for example, which was a desperate low) but over the course of the season he's managed the whole spell superbly. When he came 4 years ago, we were 17th and stinking of (another) relegation. To do what he has done since then with a pathetic small net spend compared to the managers he's competing with, and the loaded nature of the system, is just incredible.
