Aston Villa’s crowded options on the wings have left one summer arrival struggling to make an impression, with Unai Emery demanding greater discipline and consistency from his attacking players during a demanding 2026/27 campaign.
Villa currently sit 12th in the Premier League, collecting eight points from seven matches through two wins, two draws and three defeats. Their European results tell a different story, with victories over Viking FK and Fenerbahçe encouraging as Emery balances domestic concerns with continental ambitions.
The 3-1 win against Viking FK and a 6-0 victory over Fenerbahçe have highlighted the attacking quality available to the Spaniard. However, competition for places remains fierce, particularly across the wide positions, where Emery expects his players to contribute without possession as well as create chances in the final third.
