Firstly, a comment on what “unsustainable” really means: it’s that based on the chances we’re creating and conceding, you wouldn’t expect us to be picking up as many points as we are right now.
Villa have picked up the 3rd most points in the league since Emery took over.
Firstly, we need to remember that was our first game in months vs an elite Liverpool side who had their reunion a few days prior.
It’s also early days under a new coach and we were without a number of key players (Ramsey, Martinez, Carlos, Cash all unavailable).

Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa since 11/03/22:
• 3-3-8 record
• 2 points vs sides above us in the table
• 1 point recovered from losing positions
• 1-2-8 record vs non-relegated sides
• 14 goals from 16.8 xG
• 25 goals conceded from 21.2 xGA
• 2 clean sheets in 14
In truth, Gerrard has a number of options to fix Villa’s midfield problem - which is really a numbers game.
Cash receiving the ball shouldn’t be a trigger for McGinn to move into CF areas, rather he should drop into midfield to create passing triangles with Cash and Bailey.
