GABBY AGBOLAHOR SLAMS UNAI EMERY STUPID DECISION AND RIPS INTO ONE PLAYER’S PERFORMANCE, HE WANTS HIM OUT IMMEDIATELY

Former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor has unleashed a scathing attack on manager Unai Emery and midfielder Emi Buendia following a deeply frustrating performance by the Midlands club. Speaking candidly in his role as a media pundit, Agbonlahor did not hold back, branding Emery’s tactical choices as stupid decisions while tearing into Buendia for a display he considers completely unacceptable for a team operating at the Premier League level.
​Agbonlahor singled out Emery’s tactical setup and substitution strategy, questioning the manager’s decision to place faith in players who continue to fail to deliver when the stakes are high. He argued that Emery’s persistent reliance on underperforming figures is actively undermining Aston Villa’s momentum and cost them dearly during crucial moments of the match. For a manager renowned for his meticulous tactical preparation, Agbonlahor stressed that sticking with ineffective players in key roles amounts to an uncharacteristic and foolish tactical oversight.
​However, the brunt of Agbonlahor’s anger was directed firmly at Argentine playmaker Emi Buendia. The ex-Villa forward slammed Buendia’s lack of impact, accusing him of drifting through matches without offering any real creative spark, work rate, or attacking threat. Agbonlahor described the midfielder’s performance as body-language heavy, wasteful in possession, and completely lacking the intensity required in modern top-flight football. He insisted that Buendia has had more than enough time and opportunities to justify his place at the club but continues to let down his teammates and supporters alike.
​Taking his criticism a step further, Agbonlahor demanded that Villa move on from the playmaker immediately, calling on Emery and the club’s hierarchy to pull the plug on his tenure and show him the door in the upcoming transfer window. He argued that Aston Villa cannot afford passengers if they want to remain competitive at the top end of the table, asserting that moving Buendia out of the squad is the only sensible resolution to prevent further damage to the team’s ambitions.
