Villa are good. Emery is a smart manager, he's got the team mostly playing well and they've got a superstar centre forward. They lost three key players to season ending injuries too.
They don't have much of a plan B though, so if a team can stop them from doing plan A then things don't go so well which is why they've had a few heavy defeats, but that's ok I'd suggest.
Leon Bailey keeps getting better too, he looked promising when he signed but erratic, he's improved a lot.
I hope the board back Emery in the summer, if he wants it. Good times at Villa Park, quite surprised by @Holte End post really. I'd expect villa fans to be thrilled.
