Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[aj2k77]

I hope he is a really nasty bastard and sorts out some of these coasters. Let's them know in no uncertain terms that things like 6 touches in a half and repeating the same mistakes over and over aren't acceptable. If you can't take a corner properly, stay behind after training and practice. I want some of these fuckers shaken up.

Are you thinking agbonlahor and Westwood?

Agreed regarding Westwood poor set pieces and hope veretout, grealish or Bacuna will be ahead of him on all.

Garde's brief: eliminate complacency. For years now this has been at the root of everything that's shit at Villa. Too many coasting along giving too little and taking too much. Just as we invite teams to score against us in almost every match we play, practically asking and asking again to be beaten, we've been asking and asking again for relegation. It will come unless there's a stark, abrupt and painful change of culture throughout the club. Garde doesn't look the chummy type. I hope he's ruthless and cunning enough to stop the rot at this club in spite of its hapless, naive owner.

He's probably wishing the international break was now, not after Sunday's game.

Maybe.  But it works quite well for us either way.  City is probably a write off anyway and it gives him a proper first look and then a break to work on things.  Given the sky money, the next two months are probably some of the most important in the last 30 years.

another benefit is that there won't be a shirt big enough for gabby to get into in two or three weeks time so that alone will rule out any more appearances

"Gabby, Bacuna, Richardson, Lescott, Westwood, you are, how do I say? A big bag of wank, no?".

"Fucking sheet"

The lot of them. It appears no one can do a basic such as take a corner, so keep them all in for an extra half hour every day until someone can take a corner. Free kicks, exactly the same. Basic throw in drills, without anyone gormlessly standing there staring. Guzan, 45 minutes every day kicking, kicking and kicking some more until you resemble a footballer. These are the very very basics, things we need to be able to do without thinking about it and we make it seem like a skill only the Brazilian team of 82 could ever obtain.

They are lazy, opta stats say currently no other teams runs less than we do in each premiership game, each player on average runs a whole mile less than Bournemouth, that's 11 miles less covered in games. We are lazy on the pitch and lazy on the training ground.

No more rolling in at ten and going home at midday. I want these players drilled, I'm sick to the fucking back teeth of losing and if they had any pride or backbone they would be to and do what it takes to improve.

I just hope that we all give Remi the time to sort out the mess we are in - for me he has as big as job as Graham Taylor did when he first arrived, the whole club needs sorting out.

Lets hope that it is not to big of a task for him to sort out.

Watching last night you would think that none of our lot trained together, there was no team play no team pattern and certainly no tactics

Only Gill, Ayew and Sinclair for me showed any ambition of wanting the ball

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Not word for word but a memorable little snippet from 5Live's commentary last night when we had scored and were pushing for a second:
"And it's a corner to Aston Villa on the left...and Danny Rose comes away with the ball."


Wtf happened there?

[Tuscans]

Press conference ?

[Percy McCarthy]

When is the press conference?

"Gabby, Bacuna, Richardson, Lescott, Westwood, you are, how do I say? A big bag of wank, no?".

"Fucking sheet"

Bacuna has a slight let from me as nobody knows his best position. The others are shite. Utterly woeful. 3 totally past their best and one who is frankly not, nor ever been, good enough for a half decent top flight team.

I got the thumbs down for this last night, but surely money has to be forthcoming in January?

Money has to be spent on a striker or  we are down without a shadow of a doubt for me.
