Houllier has also arranged for his squad to watch tomorrow's Spurs-AC Milan game on TV.

GH should hire from Martin Laursen to work on our defence
Gerard Gaffe number 11,147: loans out Fonz, who then scores more goals in 5 minutes than Heskey could manage in 5 matches.
and being as we have blamed MON for problems on and off the pitch in recent months and indeed years, why can't he aswell.

Gotta feel sorry for the kid.

I'm feeling the need to defend Gerard a little here, loads of people have mentioned the injury list but it's never been backed up with actual numbers on here that I've seen. So...http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/clubs/2/aston_villa_injuries.htmlScrolling down there's a few in August, so we'll start with those but it has to be remembered that we already had Delph out at that point, so we'll add that 1 to the total which comes out as 47 injuries. That's a massive number for a squad of 23 players to absorb. Add on bans and we've had a fair amount of players missing for a large chunk of the season, which can't help.The other thing that is mentioned in the thread a few times is to say why don't we just defend corners like we did last year. The answer to that is fairly simple. The entire coaching and management team that planned that left, no one who had dealings with the first team was left. Therefore the only people who could've implemented that same defensive system are the players, but an off form Collins and an overweight Dunne had their own problems, along with Warnock who clearly didn't want to be at the club any more.

47 injuries? Are you sure?
