Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[gpbarr]

We haven't improved 1% under him.
The defence is still a shambles. His assistant looks absolutely clueless.
He still hasn't dropped Guzan.
He still won't unleash Adama.
He still hasn't told Hutton that he isn't Cafu.
He still won't play Kinsella at left back.
He still hasn't realised Bacuna isn't a left back.
He still plays The Pantomime Horse.
The Kozak contract rumour won't go away.
We fell for the bullshit of him being the new Wenger.

Jesus wept - you got to be kidding right! The only one in this entire mess who is above criticism (at this moment) is Remi - I mean for god's sake, dont you understand the absolute horse manure he walked into?!?!?! His hands are tied till January, there is no guarantee any other player would improve anything, and he has had 5 games.

You clearly have all the answers.

What's the Kozak contract rumour?

[Hoppo]

I don't have all the answers but I know the answers to the questions I raised. Why not unleash Adama?

[Rudy65]

Sherwood is a tit. But at least we had the new manager bounce from him with instant improvment in playing style, confidence and results. Absolutely nothing from Garde so far

[Hoppo]

Kozak won't be played due to large fee owed to Lazio if he plays 15 games.

So those of you having a go at the manager for not playing Kozak please answer:
1. Why have both Sherwood and Garde  have chosen not to select him as there must be a reason for that?
2. If Kozak was fit and had the right mentality do you think coaches are totally stupid preferring a hod carrier to him as our number 9?

3 managers have chosen not to play Kozak.
What I don't understand is why he keeps playing Gestede.

I thought it might be. It usually is.

He's played 15 games.

Adama was unleashed against Watford with 20 or so minutes to go. He had two runs that started with all the elegance of a horny loose bull that ended in nothing and spent the final 15 minutes imitating Lord Lucan.

Ok but with the squad he has I doubt anything would make them improve? The squad pathetically poor - Sherwood had a least a few decent players to get a temporary improvement - Garde does not as they were sold.

I can somewhat understand Sherwood in that Kozak was only just back from injury, had a decent pre-season so may not have been quite ready for first team action. However he's had games since then, a chance to work on his fitness. There's no reason now that he isn't in with a shout versus Gestede who offers literally nothing and a lot less since Amavi got hurt.

I don't want to start criticizing a manager who got dealt a shit hand to begin with and I have made the argument he needs to be given time. However we can question some of his decisions and why the team isn't at least pressing and pushing the opponents. It isn't acceptable.

I know for a fact that is a load of bollocks.

Correct.

Gestede is rubbish agreed however Remi is in a tight spot and he has got to find something that works so he has to try all the assists at his disposal to make a head and tail of it. It's wrong to say " why he keeps playing Gestede" as today was his only second start for a while.
