Sorry to say it, but I agree with the comment about Garde even this soon in. What was he thinking?
The supporters should also be offered counselling.

It's kind of why I thought Garde was the right man at the wrong time.  This isn't his sort of scrap.  He's the clever kid in class that builds a cottage industry by reselling tuck shop sweets at increased markups.  He isn't the marauding hard of the school that was specifically required for this fight.

Well put, but I'm wondering who the right man this time could have been. We have a defence that leaks at least one goal and normally two goals through cock-ups and an attack that scores a single goal on a very good day. Which manager could have rectified that?

Maybe eight men in defence, lump it up to Gestede, have Ayew running around hoping the ball bounces to him would have been the most sensible tactic given our personell, but I'm far from convinced.
