Yes, the transfer window is important, but our needs are more pressing that that.

More than anything else, this team NEEDS a win.
We have got to stop this horrible,horrible run of results and remember what it's actually like to win a game.

Once we do that, we just might have someone to build on.

Trouble is we simply do not look capable of winning a game. I can't remember the last game we deserved to win.

Leicester away until Sherwood decided to display his ineptitude.
without doubt the catalyst for everything that has happened on the pitch since

For me the catalyst was the humiliation and disgrace of the Cup Final. That was when we were holed below the water line.

Yes, close call Lee but the Final was so public and so naked to mockery and ridicule. Soton was as bad as they come but we still clung excuses of focus and concentration. Strange that we really believed it.

Good point. I was on a SATs training course for the Southampton game. At lunch, I was regaled by a Bluenose with "You don't want to know the score. You really don't want to know the score. You really, really don't want to know the score. You really, really, really don't want to know the score. You really, really, really, really don't want to know the score." Or words to that effect. I went outside for a long walk in order to calm down.

Traore and kozak being omitted is a mystery I must admit

Which of course raises the question who is marking Remi's card?  Whose advice is he taking about players? Somebody must be perpetuating the belief that Libor Kozak is a one man bomb squad.

I wish someone would ask him about Kozak and Traore. Instead of some of the fucking useless questions he does get asked. The press conferences are utter torture. Let alone the mundane bollocks on the OS.

edit: just saw this on the OS

Quote
Adama Traore...

It's a very young player, without experience at the highest level.
He did some good stuff in the training sessions but at the moment I didn't choose him.
But he is quite close to being on the team list one day.
He has to work hard.

Now need them to ask about Kozak

He's got to be allowed to make what we'd perceive as mistakes. Players need a chance. Though from what we've seen, not much of one.

Remi has to work out very fast who has the fight for this.

Just watched MOTD.

Garde looked a worried man, with good reason.

He's been at the club for 3 weeks and already looks 3 years older.

Remi has to work out very fast who has the fight for this.

He recognises here, reflecting on the game, that Sanchez is a necessary component, which is refreshing.

Quote
Remi Garde has accused Aston Villa of being too lightweight during the 4-0 defeat at Everton until Carlos Sanchz entered the field.

Sanchez, who played well in the 0-0 draw with Manchester City, started on the bench at Goodison Park after a long jaunt away on international duty with Colombia.

He replaced Idrissa Gana as a half-time substitute against the Toffees and added some steel to an otherwise flimsy claret and blue side.

"I think we missed a little bit of character, we were too light on the field," admitted Garde.

"We didn't win enough challenges, enough duels - that was a key point of the game.

"We were better in the second half. A player like Carlos Sanchez has done quite well in this situation.

"The first half we didn't win any challenges and when you don't it's too difficult to win the game."

Garde recalled Jack Grealish for yesterday's match despite admitting there was room for improvement in the young winger's game.

"It was a difficult game for everybody. Jack is a young player he has to work like Carles (Gil), like Jordan (Ayew), like Idrissa (Gana).

"I know the team is quite young but they have a chance to show what they can do.

"Not only Jack but a few players I was wanting a little bit more from."
