Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[ez]

I like the fact that he's not afraid to drop players and give someone else a chance. You just know with Sherwood or Lambert that Guzan and Agbonlahor would be playing every game they are available for.

[ChicagoLion]

Agree ez. He finally seems to be imposing his will on the team.
Sadly the quality is not there.

[villa for life]

Not his greatest fan but open minded. LVG and Klopp have not been able to yield instant results, either.

[supertom]

If he gets 100% from his players then you can't ask for any more. Two games running he has. I hope he keeps it up. Not only that his picked a decent line-up, dropped certain players who really needed it, and he also made a good substition last night which switched the dynamic of the game.
If we can see a continued progression he'll be a decent long term solution.

[Dave Cooper please]

And they are working with a damn sight better quality of player than Garde has inherited.

Talks the talk, but yet to walk the walk I think.

I'd like to see him adopt a b-boy limp for the Wycombe game.

[Villa in Denmark]

So he's not started turning around a squad that a one point looked like it might not score another goal this season, let alone pick up another point?

He's not taken a fractured squad that couldn't be arsed and got them at least playing for each other and giving 100%?

He's not weeded out and binned the wasters and trouble makers?

Results have been nowhere near what we wanted or needed, but I think it's only now that we're starting to see how big a mess things were in when we binned Sherwood.

Starting from the ramp at New St, just outside McDonalds.

I really like what Remi is trying to do here, it's going to be a huge task as our belief and team spirit was sucked out of us completely when he arrived. That was also by the sounds of it compounded by fitness and lack of discipline.

The team seem to be pulling together and trying to adopt his ideas and putting up a fight.

How that toe rag Jenas gets a job talking about football when he's spent most of his career on the treatment table is beyond me. Did he really play for us? So he reckons our only way out of trouble is to play long ball is it?

What is it with these pundits getting work and talking a load of bollocks about things they know fuck all about.

As it always was, as it is and as it probably always will be.

Sound bites for the hard of thinking to further promote the required narrative.

[Ian.]

To me it was a Jenas having a dig at Remi and his tactics, but how he can do that when he doesn't know what is going on. It was just as bad as the bollocks Moyes spouted about Huth's challenge.

A case of sticking up for his mate Timmy?

Can't have these foreign types coming over here and getting better results than those plucky, underrated, young, British managers.

[Ian.]

He probably was, of course Tim would have got us playing and would probably got the best out of Gabby.

[Irish villain]

I am a big fan of Remi Garde. To me, he seems one of the more competent people we have had in a position of authority in the last half decade.

I really hope he sticks around long-term.
