Aston Villa Report

John McGinn went to Arizona, training in 45-degree heat. He wanted to be leaner, working with an expert in movement who has trained NFL athletes & special forces units. "No matter how hard the conditioning was or how hot it was, he was dialled in." #AVFC https://www.nytimes.com/a

“I’ve been working hard, I’ve had a few injuries throughout the season so things haven’t gone my way. I was happy to get the start and get the goal, but the result isn’t great. I’ll keep working hard and hopefully we can turn this form around” Ross Barkley

Morgan Rogers may be tempted to look for Champions League football elsewhere if Emery's side fail to qualify for next season's competition. Villa have struggled to keep up financially and haven't been able to spend big to cement their place for the Champions League. @talkSPORT

It promises to be an intriguing summer transfer window for #AVFC, whether they return to the UCL or not. The squad is ageing - Emery named the club's oldest XI in 14 years on Sunday - while several players will enter the final two years of their deals. https://www.birminghammail.

Alysson sustained a muscle injury last week in training and will miss, at the very least, the next two matches, so will not be back until after the international break. #AVFC

Ross Barkley claims that #AVFC have "too many top players" for their poor form to continue. "I think we need to get back to doing the basics right, making better decisions on the pitch and managing the game better." https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ro

Morgan Rogers already has a stunning collection of goals this season, but Aston Villa need him to score a few more... #AVFC https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/morgan-rogers-debate-aston-villa-33599059

#AVFC's powder puff attack directly contributed to defensive errors at Old Trafford. Playing too quickly or rashly exposes Villa. They gave Man Utd the exact thing Emery repeatedly warned against - transitions. They want control but quality is missing: https://www.nytimes.com/ath

The Athletic

After today’s action, Manchester United move three points clear of Aston Villa, while Liverpool remain outside the top four.

Unai Emery thought Aston Villa lacked composure after Ross Barkley's equaliser at Old Trafford. #AVFC https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/unai-emery-reveals-reason-aston-33596622
