Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Klopp has certainly got 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' playing a more pressing, higher tempo game within a few weeks...I hope Remi can have a similarly swift effect on us.

The fact that we are so consistently poor means that just doing basics better - pass and go, throw ins, corners, pressing the ball and/or the player on it - should make a noticeable difference for the better.

Not picking Gabby, Lescott, Bacuna and Richardson and replacing them with footballers should also help.

Are we expecting a press conference today or tomorrow?

One thing I have noticed this season, our pressing is more about going through the motions. 50/50 balls go 95/5 to the opposition player.

hope I'm wrong
but I think there might be some very disappointed people on here when things don't pick up straight away
I think it will be evolution not revolution

I am fully behind Garde, very happy with the appointment,
 I just think its going to take more than re arranging the line up and changing a a few tactics here and there

I think we are really deep in the shit this time, not because we have bad players but because we are not a team, we have no pattern, we have no ID,
Garde will put this right I am sure, but the fruits might take some time

I am genuinely excited about Garde coming, more so than with Sherwood whose inexperience worried me. I will support him, even if we go down as I believe that he is a decent manager for us, even though we may be a stepping stone for him until the arsenal job comes up. Pulis, Sam Ateallthepies and to some extent the PR nightmare of Pearson are not great choices nor was Moyes or Rodgers, both who are suffering a crisi of confidence. Those suggesting Rowett need to take a long hard look at yourselves. Firstly do you think one of the rags managers would ever get a good reception and lets be fair, even though he has done a decent enough job playing mercenaries and kids, he hardy had the experience at top level did he? One mistake and villa fans would be on his back every five seconds. Good for them, not for us

It really is back to basics with our lot. Gabby needs to either lose a stone, learn to play or get out. Westwood needs to be pointed in the direction of the championship, Grealish needs to start growing up and guzan needs to be shipped out in January.

Garde has my full backing and to be blunt, as shit as we are, we are already gone anyway so lets start playing without fear!

Robert Duverne Metz leaves for England
METZ - The new Aston Villa coach, Remi Garde, asked Robert Duverne to join his staff. FC Metz accepted the request and therefore separates from his trainer.





The French fitness coach Robert Duverne, will engage in the next few hours with the English club Aston Villa. Indeed, the former trainer of the team of France and Olympique Lyonnais wants to join his former colleague Lyon coach Rémi Garde, who has just signed England. Initially linked with FC Metz until the end of the current season, the technician had the promise from President messin he would be released if Remi Garde called for a Premier League club. "A word is a word, we will end by mutual agreement of the contract that binds us," said Bernard Serin on the club website.

Robert Duverne joined the club in August 2014. FC Metz had prepared the release of Duverne recruiting at the beginning of this season the Belgian Deputy Bernard Smeets. The latter becomes the physical trainer of the first team, replacing Robert Duverne, 48, had joined a former colleague of Lyon, Gérard Houllier at Aston Villa ... between 2010 and 2011.

He's back to get you off the pies again Gabby, you big tub of lard.

while watching us huff and puff around WHL, Garde was probably on the phone to him last night and demanded he quit. Good news though.

[Quiet Lion]

We have looked visibly off the pace to me this season, and if the OPTA stats do show that we have run less than any other club, that is a clear area of improvement. Lets hope, no pray this guy can get us fit.

[JUAN PABLO]

I remember something that some of the players when he was here before were not into Duverne fitness regime .  Im happy hes coming .
