Ollie Watkins and Donyell Malen struck for Villa in the final game of their USA preseason tour.
Emery reflected afterwards: “We’re finishing here our pre-season in the United States with the match we played.
“With the same objective, play all the players available and mixing young players with players getting fit.
“Of course, it’s not my objective now to play or set the starting XI players.
“I want to try to get everyone in the same structure and in the same combination or different combinations we can have.”
Impressed by Nashville
Emery also said: “Nashville played well and I know they are performing fantastic in their league here in the MLS.
“We faced them, respecting them, and even when we were 2-0 they were able to claim back a result.
“They drew and, of course, they showed their capacity.
“Last year we played against Columbus Crew, this year we played against St. Louis City, here (against Nashville) and all matches we play against MLS teams - sometimes we are winning, sometimes losing and sometimes drawing.
“The level they have is a very good level.”
