"We are losing the opportunity to win the title in the Premier League, two months ago we were competing with Arsenal and Manchester City, you were asking me about it. Someone, even myself, may say 'maybe we can'. Some supporters, maybe they were dreaming it. Now we are not with the possibility to fight for the Premier League, some can feel frustrated, even myself because I have my dreams."
"In September I was worried and the objective was to stay in the Premier League. In December I was so happy and excited to get the top-five position and achieve the Champions League."

Villa have won only three of their last ten Premier League games and remain third, but face pressure from Chelsea and Manchester United below them.

Emery acknowledged the disappointment but defended his team's season, noting they were competing with Arsenal and Manchester City two months earlier and have overachieved relative to initial objectives.
