home league wins

[–] isaacals@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Who are they playing next?

[–] TehJofus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s a shame that these stats ignore cup games, it’d make us look boss :(

…well, except for the 4-0, that’s less boss.

Difference between Gerrard and Emery has been night and day, also their recruitment has been superb (bar Tielemans).

[–] gizmostrumpet@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Tielemans has had his moments, plus he came on a free.

[–] somethingnotcringe1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Villa were very close to going down a bad path but they realised that Christian Purslow who wanted to bring in his favourite Liverpool players was the problem and got rid accordingly.

[–] moriero@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We'll take that Tielemans right off your hands, don't worry

[–] Spookytooth66@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hopefully Tielemans has turned a corner, he came on and set up Bailey's goal yesterday.

[–] Strananach@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah I mean his ability was never the issue, but his workrate and stamina.

[–] NewAppleverse@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hardest thing to build. IIRC Kovacic had similar issues when he came to Chelsea from Real.

Took few seasons for him to stand on his knees upto 75mins mark.

[–] qwertygasm@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Difference is Tielemans has been in the prem for years and is actively regressing in that regard

[–] Forgetmyglasses@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Playing at the highest level for so long probably fucks your knees and joints up as well.

[–] AnnieIWillKnow@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Kovavic -> Barkley

Barkley -> Kovacic

Every 70th minute. We remember

[–] TheKingMonkey@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Definitely last season. Unai was picking up about 2 points per game with Gerrard's squad.

[–] vin_unleaded@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's OK, Gerrard has found his managerial level now.

[–] FatWalcott@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Has this been Emery's best league performance? I dont remember Sevilla or PSG going on a run like this

[–] Williamklarsko@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Arsenal went on a bender aswell with like 17 consecutive wins/draws

[–] Infernode5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is the 4th 10+ game home winning streak in his career, crazy record

[–] mesmartpants@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Happy for him. Didn’t deserve to be made so mich fun of at arsenal

Bipolar much🤦

Unai is not appreciated enough. This guy does excellent work nearly everywhere he goes.

[–] Lolejimmy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Emery masterclass, can see them winning the Conference league comfortably as well, only competitor I can think off will be Fenerbahce and the teams that might come from EL.

[–] TheKingMonkey@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Emery masterclass, can see them winning the Conference league comfortably as well, only competitor I can think off will be Fenerbahce and the teams that might come from EL.

We got a rude awakening in the Conference League when we went to Poland, at the moment the group we are in has basically been reset with all four teams in it having the same number of points and the same goal difference (3 points and +/-0 GD) after two games. We go to AZ on Thursday which is a really big game for us, it's a "must not lose" fixture as far as I can tell, but at their place and in the form they are in it's going to be a tricky task.

[–] Kenny_dies@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

“The teams that might come from EL” is a very wide selection. They might win the Conf but definitely not comfortably like you seem to claim

[–] Indydegrees2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Saying this in October is absolutely insane behaviour

[–] Arsenjam22@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Congrats to our old manager. He deserves it all👏🏾

[–] AjenoMerveilles@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That picture of Emery there is perfect.

"You like that, aye? Want more of that, aye?"

[–] lewis30491@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm very okay with Aston Villa pulling off a Leicester City this season

[–] LilianNalis@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] TeamUlovetohate@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Getting emery was a major coup for villa

[–] Jon98th@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Give Unai a half decent team and he’ll make it into a European contender; the man is a legend.

Good motherfuckingEbening !

[–] Loud-Caregiver6566@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Happy for Emery, after seeing how the fans and players at arsenal mocked him.. deserved another chance in the Prem. Always remember when he returned against us in the Europa, knocked us out and didn’t even celebrate.. classy bloke

[–] CanadianToffee18@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I so badly want to see this team make the top 4.

[–] Mustache-Meister@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Unai has been very underestimate since his time at Arsenal

[–] mrgonzalez@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Must be a nice season ticket

[–] ElectronicEnd839@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Aston villa on its way to getting qualified for Europa league..

[–] lospollosakhis@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

People were writing Emery off after the Newcastle game lol

[–] daab2g@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think it's great to see Unai stick it to all the losers who laughed at his accent while at Arsenal, he's a top man and top coach.

[–] StriveForBetter99@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sports strategy is sports strategy

[–] Wrosgar@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hope this isn't now a jijx for the next home match

[–] Poli_Talk@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Villan Arc

[–] HarbyFullyLoaded_12@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Who was the last team to beat them there?

[–] fegelman@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Aston Villa Europa League 2025 champions confirmed

[–] Luc4_Blight@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] Madein97lol@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Good ebening - Emery Unai

[–] showmethenoods@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Villa midfield is quality, Luiz, McGinn, Kamara is really strong. Tielemens if he can find his feet is only going to help
