REVEALED : Why Unai Emery must unleash ‘terrific’ Aston Villa star as impressive stat emerges

Aston Villa is in a solid position going into the international break,

but Unai Emery has a lot of decisions to make.

Aston Villa has had an amazing start to the season. With four victories from seven games,

they are currently sixth in the Premier League.

They have also won both of their Champions League matches,

including the historic triumph over Bayern Munich last week.

This season, Unai Emery wants to show his skeptics wrong by being among

the top four in the league and managing his obligations in Europe’s top tournament.

Emery will be happy with his team’s start, but the international break offers a chance to consider what has to be changed—one player, in particular, deserves to start.

Ian Maatsen ought to lead Aston Villa in more games.

In the summer, Ian Maatsen was signed for £37.5 million from Chelsea.

Under Emery, the Dutchman was viewed as an instant starter,

and many anticipated Lucas Digne to develop into a more supporting role.

However, the Frenchman has started the season strongly and solidified his position at left-back while restricting Maatsen to substitute games in the Premier League and Champions League.

Emery has been given no reason to drop Digne on his current form however,

with a hectic fixture scheduled on the horizon and the promise Maatsen has shown

from the bench should point towards starts for the 22-year-old.

After all, despite playing significantly fewer minutes, the former Borussia Dortmund loanee

has equaled Digne’s total of six chances created for Villa in just 118 minutes of top league action.

Maatsen, who played for Dortmund in the Champions League final the previous season,

is the long-term left-back option, but Emery is considering his effect off the bench.
