Aston Villa Report

Emery on Tielemans: "We must be intelligent managing matches. It’s not an excuse - we are playing Sunday, 2pm, but tomorrow we must be alert to the players who played and how they feel and if they can play more or less minutes in the game." Alysson has returned to training. #AVFC

#AVFC don't necessarily play well in Europe - and that's perfectly fine But they are efficient. Fundamentally, that is what football is all about, underlined by other English clubs’ struggles in Europe. Piece from Bologna @theathleticfc.bsky.social https://www.nytimes.com/athleti

Aston Villa are one of many Premier League clubs interested in highly-rated 17-year old Hearts defender, Alfie Osborne who could be available for a compensation package understood to be less than £250k. Arsenal and Manchester City are favourites @GraemeBailey #AVFC #MCFC #AFC

Asked Emery about Rowe: "He is playing progressively better this season. We played the first match against Bologna. Since there and to the analysis we did now, the last matches he has performed very well. He scored a fantastic goal. "He threatened us more than we planned." #AVFC

Unai Emery: "Watkins is a fighter. Sometimes he plays brilliant like today, and sometimes not. When he doesn't score we lack something from him. Always he plays well because he always does his task and works for the team. Scoring two goals is fantastic for him and for us." #AVFC

Emery: "Second half, we got the plan better, we could connect better with the 10s and progress better with our striker. "In the first half, we played more than we planned to play long. But in the second half, we connected more. Our reaction to their goal was fantastic."#AVFC

It's now four goals in five games for Ollie Watkins. Hitting form at just the right time... 🔥 #AVFC
