Unai Emery's new-manager bounce at Aston Villa is already offering compelling evidence that it could be something more profound and long-lasting...
New-manager bounces so very often prove deceptive, but Emery and Villa are an enticing combinationHave to be careful with new-manager bounces. They can be hugely beguiling and concoct an easy narrative while actually being entirely illusory. There’s a reason their name has become a cliche, and the implication of a bounce is itself inherent. A short-lived gravity-defying lift that must soon be brought back to reality and the accepted order of things.
What’s also key to this is that Brighton played well too. This was a fine game of football between a Brighton side that has long been among the more watchable among the great mid-table morass of Barclays and a Villa side that at the very, very least is now going to join Brighton in that group. That Brighton’s first-minute opener came from Alexis Mac Allister pressing and robbing Douglas Luiz and Villa’s second-half winner came from Douglas Luiz pressing and robbing Alexis Mac Allister felt apt.
We’re pleased for him, to be fair. His was always a doomed reign at Arsenal, charged with the impossible of following a legend who had dominated the club for 20 years. There is almost no precedent for a new manager coming in under those conditions and succeeding. Just ask David Moyes.
