Former Newcastle United forward Michael Bridges has claimed that Unai Emery is ‘replicating’ Eddie Howe’s success with the Magpies at Aston Villa.
While Newcastle are battling for Champions League under Howe, Emery has taken over a Steven Gerrard side who were lingering somewhere between relegation and mid-table and has elevated them into the European spots.
As we saw over the weekend, Emery got the better of Howe in a 3-0 victory and his side put in arguably the best performance that a Newcastle team has had to deal with this season. It was their biggest margin of defeat so far and they were truly outclassed on Saturday afternoon.
