Bent - 'We believe in Houllier.'

[Risso]

But Bent knows the Villa players have to come to terms with Houllier's ideas and philosophies, and said: "It was difficult against Wolves, especially against those two (Berra and Stearman) as centre-halves. But, at the same time, the manager wants the system and, as professionals and players we've got to respect that."
He added: "If he wants to play one up front, then that's fair enough.
"As you said, the fans wanted to see 4-4-2 but this 4-5-1 seems like quite a common formation now. We have to try to make the system work.
"It's always difficult when you're the only striker trying to compete in the air against two centre halves but the main thing is the manager is not going to change it.
"He wants us to play this way and we've got to get on with it and adapt to it."

Hmmmmmm.

Maybe the board should call a meeting with the players only and really find out whats going on

As soon as the board do that, the manager is finished.

He was purchased by Le Gaffuer for £18 - £24 mill., so he isn't going to dislike him is he - or at least not show it.
