Video analysis and an instant connection have helped to get Watkins and Diaby singing from the same song sheet
Almost from the moment and first shook hands during ’s pre-season tour of the United States, a relationship blossomed. The dynamic was immediate and validated why the club’s recruitment identified signing another wide forward in the summer. Both started their careers as wingers but arrived in the Midlands to be fine-tuned. In Unai Emery, there had been thought about how to fit the pair together.
The 3-1 victory against Luton was as routine as the adage goes, barring a consolation, self-inflicted own goal. Villa’s 12th straight home win carried an air of inevitability and Emery’s side never wholly exerted themselves, or needed to. Still, the match presented Watkins and Diaby with different demands. Luton sat in a compact mid-block, not pressing but not sitting so deep it restricted space behind.
