I remember them being above mid table but after they beat Tottenham theyre now fourth and only 2 points off the top of the league. That means that if they didn’t lose to Nottingham forest or Everton they would be first. Ik they really haven’t had difficult match ups but it’s still very impressive.

It’s just spurs
Arguably they have been massively underperforming for almost 20 years now. They should probably have cemented themselves as a top 6 club in the early Randy Lerner days
Since Emery took over.
Good Ebening. Emery is a good manager I just don’t think he had the cash at Arsenal. Happy to see him do well
Why did this get downvoted? It is a completely agreeable statement
Because this sub has turned into moronic Man City dick suckers
Taking out an opposition player usually helps.
Right, they were impressive.
Emery is cooking🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lots of good players and a good manager. The sky’s the limit if they keep spending and recruiting like they have been.
Villa definitely did not play well today but a win is a win. Emery is great at getting them to win matches they probably shouldn’t win.
Plus this is the problem with playing the way Spurs play, it’s too inconsistent. Today was the perfect example of why playing controlled and “boring” is what top teams need to do.
Spurs have 7/8 best players out.
Can we stop making this silly claims about the playstyle.
How does arsenal, Liverpool look if you just remove 7 starting outfielders?
I mean it’s really nuts how people just ignore the luck here injury wise. Romero being out is obviously on him, but south shave their top 3 cms out top 2 cbs, starting winger and more
Also to double comment: playing boring is the opposite of what top teams do whe up 1-0 against a team at home. City and Liverpool won the title by being relentless. You go for a Casio at hoe then you can sub and adjust to ease out the game. At 1-0 no top team ever should be parking the bus that’s insane
They were lucky today. Think full strength spurs put 5 past them on today’s performance.
We were missing 4 starters
The Emery effect. Won 3 back to back Europa League trophies (including the one against us grrr) with Seville which is an amazing accomplishment in itself. Like others have said, his defensive, counter attacking style was not flashy enough for the Gunners but suits Villa just fine. Good manager. Good ebening
Since the ebening they signed someone important.
Villa has been good the whole 2023
Since Emery arrived over a year ago, we have been on top 4 form. That’s no exaggeration.
We have roughly the 8th best squad in the league but a phenomenal manager that helps us perform better than 8th. Where we end up in the league by the end of the season depends entirely on how far we go in Europe and if we can keep key players fit.
Since they lost 3-2 to Arsenal last year
