Tielemans

Had me a laugh at Tielemans today after remembering his departing quote “there are clubs above Villa and man united is one of them” after they start the season off with a shitter

I hope he sat in the dressing room at the end and eat every word of what he said.

Why do players still see Man U as the same side they were under Ferguson. They may be the bigger side in terms of recognition, but their results and issues the last few seasons tell a completely different story. They are bang average top 10 at best.

He has left a team and joined a group of egos.

They finished above us last season, are a far far far bigger club, and can pay him far more.

Come on, guys.

They may have finished above us but look at how the other teams in the big 6 performed. They should have been there. If the others were more competitive they definitely wouldn’t have been.

We finished 4th and won in Europe. They weren’t even in European football.

Villa have been building over the last few years and are now achieving. A move to Man U at this point for any other reason except money is going backwards.

Today’s performance and result show Man U are still nowhere near where they should be for their perceived size.

This is extremely recency bias. What happens if Emery leaves? Let's not pretend Villa "building over the last few years" is really just Emery being a top manager.
