Aston Villa manager Unai Emery spoke to the media after his side's 4-1 win over Newcastle United. The victory boosts Villa's chances of finishing in the top five ahead of travelling to Manchester City on Tuesday. Here is every word Emery said in his post-match press conference... Unai, you must be delighted with the win? "I am very happy with how the players responded today against one team performing fantastic and doing a very amazing season. Today we showed as well our capacity to face them. "It’s a team very difficult in the game plan how we were preparing and how we were as well responding on the field, getting a lot of duels. It’s a team very demanding, they push with their individual duels. We really played fantastic in 90 minutes and it was necessary to play with the starting players and the bench, the sub players impacted when we needed it. "I am very happy but keeping balance because today this victory is trying to be close to the teams contenders to be in the top five for Champions League. But there’s still work to do to get it. "For a European position, we are closer after this victory and of course happy. But now we are in our momentum, keeping momentum to try and get our best and don’t waste time and be focused each match. "The first part of the season we weren’t performing and getting points like we are now. We are under our objective in our better expectations we had, to be in Europe and to try to fight to get the Champions League positions." Are you peaking at the right moment? "Yes, now after recovering some players getting injured. Now it is very important how we can use different players and how we can use in different matches as well different starting 11 players, sub players. "One problem we had, we had some players injured, some players not fit. We had some players not getting the level we needed. In January we were very demanding to try to join some players giving us more of a level to set and try to get. "We are showing we are in this way, but there’s still work to do and still five matches to play in the Premier League and still the objective we have as well, and still the challenge in the FA Cup . But we are very happy and so, so demanding with the players each day to be focusing on each match." A word on Watkins' performance... "It’s fantastic! It’s fantastic to be angry, it’s fantastic to play like the way he did today. It’s fantastic to be ready and available in every match in the better moments like today I think he showed. This is the committed way I want." Watkins was angry to not start against PSG - what did he tell you? "He’s a very good person and very respectful always. His commitment is always very, very positive with his teammates, with the club, with the coaches and with the manager. "My conversation with every player is always trying to help support and be demanding with them, as well trying to understand their moment. Usually I am speaking with the players when it is the moment to speak individually with some players. "With Watkins, it was a very good conversation. Of course, when he responded like today, wow, I am so, so happy for him and for the team. Also for our objectives, how we are getting through them and through their demands as well. It’s really fantastic. "But every player is the same for me, trying to support and to help them." How important is squad depth at this stage? "Yes, but we increased our level. We increased clearly our level and demands. When I arrived here, it was my objective to play more matches in the season, Europe, like now in the FA Cup playing in the semi-final. "We are playing more than 55, last year we played more than 55. This year we are going to play more than 55. There are more players in the national team. We had problems before because we didn’t have enough players available to play, we weren’t achieving points because we didn’t have some players fit or they were injured or they were not getting the level we needed. "Now and always in my career as a coach, when I perform better it is when I have players available and two players per position, more or less, playing and performing well. Now, we are in this moment and our momentum is the squad of players’ momentum, not only the 11 players. They are showing it and it is necessary to have players ready to play and some players as well in the bench. "Today was the first time this season I had to take players out of the squad because every player was available for today. It was for different circumstances that I decided out of Pau (Torres), Leon Bailey and Lamare Bogarde. I told the players, it’s the first time. "Of course, it’s good for me to take this decision. I want moments like that with the players available, ready to play and performing in our demands." Tielemans enjoyed another excellent game... "For me, he’s a fantastic player! A high-level player. His commitment with us is really fantastic and he’s being consistent. Last year, he was a little bit in the adaptation of him to us everything in our demands. He understood in that moment how he was doing in his process. He was performing well, but he wasn’t playing with consistency. "This year, he’s playing consistently because he’s being fit, he’s performing well, he’s as well adding us his skill playing as a midfielder or even as a 10 number. He’s really physically feeling very good. This is of course the first idea with every player when I’m trying to get the best of them, with these characteristics like Tielemans has always help."
