Then the relatively useless, such as Kolasinac, Pepe, the big Greek lad. No thought has gone into that squad, or if it has it is the various thoughts of too many cooks.

Total mess. No wonder Edu and Arteta set about dismantling the entire thing and starting again.
Certainly the dressing room was a ****show at that time. Auba and Ozil hoovering the life out of it. Emery didn't deal with either of them.

Villa finished 17th that season and made us look as bad as they were.
We only finished 8th. Behind Wolves.

As good as Emery might be. We didn't see it.
