Jamie Carragher: Aston Villa a better coached team than Manchester United | 'Unai Emery third best manager in the Premier League'

Jamie Carragher: You can make an argument that Unai Emery is the third best manager in this Premier League. If you back over the last 12 months since he came in at Villa, if you are talking about Man Utd, Aston Villa are a better coached team than United. There is no doubt about that.

    Horses for courses isn’t it … yes he is doing very well at Villa and showing his class.

    But I don’t think if he was given the United job he would be doing better than ETH.

    He didn’t succeed at arsenal (not entirely his fault) but similarly I don’t think Arteta would be a good fit at Villa.

    I feel like Emery wasn’t given a fair chance at Arsenal. Looking at his record he would have eventually made a success of it. Look at the squad overhaul that Arteta has had - Emery had a load of deadwood and still managed to do ok.

    I was listening to talkSPORT the other day and they were saying how Poch is the ‘best of the rest’. I thought surely it has to be Emery, but he barely got a mention.

    100! Been saying for age. FSG should be grooming him to replace Klopp. Such a good tactician.

    I honestly wish he was given more time at Arsenal tbh.

    I’m happy with Arteta at this point but yeah, he deserved more time.

        Arsenal was going backwards under Emery. He certainly didn’t get the backing arteta currently has, but that might be bc arteta is better at selling his vision

    You can make an argument that says Kompany is the best manager in the league, Jamie.

    In seriousness though, he’s proven that he is a great manager more than once, and he is a manager that can make a mid-table that can punch well above its weight, but has so far has not demonstrated the ability to manage egos and expectations at a “big” club.

    Emery is a brilliant manager but I seriously have to question whether Carra even thinks this himself. He has been coming out with contrarian rubbish recently just to wind up certain sets of fans. This is probably more of a troll against Arteta and Arsenal than a genuine opinion.
