Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[mr underhill]

I am if it helps keep us up

[olaftab]

I'm not sure helping Arsenal develop their players is the way forward for us.

Well apparently we have been selected by Wenger to develop their next manager so we might as well do the players as well!

[Villa in Denmark]

Agreed. Needs must and if that's the best option then that's what we've got to do.

[Des Little]

There's not a lot I wouldn't do if it meant us avoiding relegation. In fact nothing at all football related.

[Pat McMahon]

I think it's great that so many people are watching us and hoping it all goes tits up. We have a chance to prove that Villa are still a force to be reckoned with. One of the worst parts of supporting the club over the last few years has been the feeling of being a total irrelevance.

I have lost count of the number of neutrals who, since I returned from China, tell me they cannot be bothered to watch us. Those that do invariably switch off after 15-20 minutes.

Sadly I can't blame them. The first half of Monday's game saw me curled up in the foetal position and asleep by half-time. Ayew's goal woke me up and I heard we had played well second half, which is just typical.

[Sexual Ealing]

Aye. When there are season ticket holders on here who regularly post that they can't face turning up, I can't condemn a Stoke/Everton/Arsenal fan from wanting to look away.

[claret and blue blood]

Well Remi is our 3rd manager this season so 3rd time lucky?
If he just starts by playing our best 11 in the correct positions it will be a start.
He seems to have a record of promoting youth, are there any under 21's worth considering, Lyden the Aussie midfielder for example?

[mr underhill]

nail on head - play your strongest team in their right positions and see what happens over a period of time;simple - isn't it?

[brian green]

Plus Mr U, get the team properly fit and able to play a full match. None of this cobblers about subbing key players because they are tired.

[Des Little]

Well one positive so far is the absence of those awful Pravda images of Garde taking training, specially picked for the laughing/happy 'everyone's fine' type affairs.  Can't stand that nonsense.

Now isn't really the time for throwing new youngsters in, we need to get a couple of results using the younger players who are already there (Grealish, Amavi, Traore, Ilori).  Once we start getting on track then we can look to bring a few of the kids into thew squad.

Club just tweeted that an open training session will take place this morning, so expect those wonderful images by this afternoon.

Drat and double drat!

A professional footballer getting "tired" is a product not fit for purpose and therefore should not be getting his full wage until he gets fit.
