Unai Emery has got it all wrong with one call at Aston Villa.
Ethan Lamb of Football FanCast argues that Unai Emery should start winger Ibrahim Mbaye to solve Aston Villa's attacking struggles following Morgan Rogers' £117m summer departure to Chelsea. Despite Villa scoring only four goals in their first five Premier League games, Emery has relied on youngster George Hemmings on the left wing, leaving Mbaye on the bench.
Mbaye joined Aston Villa from Paris Saint-Germain for a reported £47m transfer fee, but has played just 33 minutes across two substitute appearances this season. Lamb highlights Mbaye's Ligue 1 statistics, including 1.8 chances created and 1.9 dribbles per 90 minutes, contending the 18-year-old possesses the qualities required to properly replace Rogers.
