Victor Lindelof Now Undroppable for Aston Villa After Emery Masterstoke
Aston Villa got back to winning ways in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime with a well-deserved 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest, moving themselves up to second in the table.
Unai Emery’s side took the lead on the stroke of half-time through Ollie Watkins before a John McGinn brace, either side of a Morgan Gibbs-White goal, sealed all three points, following a difficult week in which the club were thrashed 4-1 by Arsenal.
But while the attacking players are undoubtedly going to earn the plaudits for the recent unbelievable form, one player’s performances are going under the radar, and he may well have now made himself undroppable in the eyes of the manager.
Victor Lindelof Now Undroppable for Aston Villa
During the summer window, Villa fans had to be patient before the club got their transfer business done, with three arrivals on Deadline Day in Jadon Sancho, Harvey Elliott and Lindelof.
Elliott’s deal has been a complete nightmare, with the club looking to call it off if they can find an agreement with Liverpool, while Sancho’s impact has been minimal. But Lindelof, after a slow start, has now arguably made himself undroppable after stepping in for injured duo Pau Torres and Tyrone Mings.
Many people questioned the signing at the time, after an error-strewn spell at Manchester United prior. The Swede was arguably at fault for the goal they conceded against Forest too, misjudging a header which allowed Gibbs-White to race through and score. But overall, he has been a more than solid signing, and was described by Jamie Redknapp as a ‘flawless signing’ after the game.
It’s another example of how amazing Emery is as a manager, that he can improve even experienced international footballers, as well as youngsters, and Lindelof’s partnership with Konsa is something that is blossoming.
Emery Masterstroke Pushing Aston Villa
Emery has established himself as one of the best managers in the Premier League over the last 12 months, and it’s because he is capable of masterstrokes like signing Lindelof on a free and transforming his game within six months.
Much like Morgan Rogers, the improvement in Lindelof is noticeable for all to see, and Emery has done it time and time again. His coaching in-game is exceptional, his work off the pitch is brilliant, and his ability to identify stars who can improve the squad is magical.
All the club’s recent success is because of him, and Lindelof becoming an undroppable member of the team is just the latest example.
