Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[ChicagoLion]

he may well be toast but I do not hold him responsible.

I hold him responsible for not being good enough to effect a change.

We were down before he came; but we haven't even made a fist of it since he's been here.

I obviously don't know / see what he says in training, but fcuk me - continually playing Bacuna, Westwood, Richards hasn't done him any favours thats for sure.

What other choices does he have?
Although I am staggered that there isn't someone better than Bacuna in the club.

The staggering failure to spend a single penny in the January transfer window was the point at which the club accepted things like this would happen.

To not have brought in a single player, not even a loan, was the ultimate "fuck you" to the fans, and a similar "fuck you" to the manager.

I hear people lament players like Bacuna and Westwood and wonder how they get a game, but surely a large part of that is that we have nothing better.

January was the chance to fix that. We opted not to even try.

The club is a laughing stock, an embarrassment - there is genuinely not one single thing to be positive about, nothing.

My nephew gave me a Villa key ring for Christmas and I have been very pleased with it. Therefore, not EVERYTHING is bad, but I can't think of much else good to be happy about.

I was too skint to go today. I consider that a massive positive!

That's something that irks me about Garde. This is a pitiful squad, but I refuse to believe that we haven't somehow stumbled across two or three extra wins. This league is fucking rubbish at the moment but we look exactly what we are - the bottom team. We may have beaten Palace and Norwich but I think he's had plenty of time to come up with some new ideas. I mean, to lose an entire front line is unfortunate but what was the plan today?

I like his personality but I worry about his selections and they look as up for games as a corpse.

As team selections go, who else could he have put in today?

No you are right. Bacuna is definitely one of the best 5 midfielders we have at the club for a start. Silly me.

He had to start with a striker he doesn't rate and said could leave in January. That's how desperate we are. In the normal world players like Gabby and Bacuna wouldn't play for us again.

This was our outfield bench today, which one would you have picked for Bacuna's position today?

Clark, Sinclair, Richardson, Hutton, Lyden, Davis

Ok, so you leave out Bacuna. Who else?

Any of them. Any position he fills is a wasted position, he is that bad.

Westwood. Those two are the chief culprits. We basically play with 9 men. Sinclair is a waste of space, not to the degree of those two clowns but he's another that sums up our forward line of nothingness and lack of care. Richards, shite too, not just shite on the pitch but has the air of couldn't give a fuckness around him that makes him worthless to us.

Agreed. A total and utter waste of space.
Why not play Lyden ? he cannot possibly be any worse.

[aj2k77]

Oh and toss in Carlos Gil, he does nothing. He's like a good kid playing against grown men.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'd lay a pretty heavy bet that if we'd started with 9 men today we'd have conceded more than 6.
