Emery has brought that spark and belief back to Aston Villa he had a lot to prove after the way things ended at Arsenal, but he has dealt with it and delivered': Former Villain discusses qualities of Spanish manager

"He has redeemed himself in British football. It wasn't as if Villa was going to be an easy ride, either. There was huge expectation when he arrived, but he has dealt with that and delivered."

"Emery's main change was a cultural one: building that winning mentality around the club. That also stems from your philosophy getting players to buy into your system and trust your style of play."

"His style is one that the very top clubs play, so he was essentially telling players that the time had arrived for them to play like a top club. They needed to believe they were capable of that."

"Recruitment has been fantastic, too: he bought players who clicked quickly and helped to take the team to new heights, showcasing their potential."
