Another home win for Aston Villa in the EPL, that is 14 consecutive home wins for Aston Villa in the Premier League, unbelievable feat. Aston Villa fans are currently living the dream, they are third in the Premier League and playing fantastic football, if they continue playing like this, then they could even finish in the top four.
As for Manchester City, that is 4 games without a win, 3 draws and one loss, and they definitely didn't play like champions tonight, Villa were by far the better team and they deserved to win. City have failed to win a game this season when Rodri was unavailable, it is clear that City cannot do without him, and i can imagine a scenario where Rodri gets injured, that is disaster for City, i really think they need to go into the market and buy a few players in January.
Unai Emery has done some excellent work at Aston Villa since arrival last year. Aston have now found there way back to the premier league top and not longer a mid table team. The players this season that we’re added have been the ones super heading this season. Players like Pau Torres have enjoyed a smooth start to continue. The Villa park had also become a fortress which seems hard to beat Aston Villa. They dominated a team like Manchester city which shows they are not to be taken for granted.
As for Manchester city I will say they are just experiencing a post treble winning season fatigue and to be frank they need it. I don’t blame them that much, this season is truly going to be a bit rough for them because there players fitness will definitely be questioned. As for Rodri, I don’t think they need anymore players, the likes of Kovacic, Nunez and Kalvin Philips are his replacement but they haven’t settled down well and also the players are different.
