Sunderland v Rock Bottom Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Edvard Remberg]

this French joke we have? Ha!

What does his nationality have to do with it?

Nothing. He's a joke and he's from France. Nothing sinister intended whatsoever.

I totally disagree that he is a Joke - I feel he is our best bet (not the perfect Pep Guardiola) we have. Why- because I can see the setup that he wants to play - problem is that the players can't do what he wants.
My opinion - not = fact.

Out of interest (well the faintest smidge of interest because I'm honestly losing all will to give a shit any more), how did Cissokho do?

He was OK.

Slightly better than Bacuna in that position.
But in all honesty they really are all as shit as each other.

To me only three players (Three Jordans) and Clark is worth keeping rest of squad can leave. 

I think it is time for Villa fans to fight back and start demanding heads. It is time for supporters protest. Perhaps every Villa fans should wear black outfit. No more claret and blues.

He's our only bet.

I was in favour of Garde but, while I think there has been some improvement in terms of general play,  it is beginning to look a lot like getting the right man at the wrong time.  He doesn't come across as inspiring enough to put the necessary fight and fire in the belly that a relegation scrap needs, and that might have seen us battle to some points at Norwich or Sunderland.  Too many players still seem to be just going through the motions.  I know he hasn't got much to choose from but surely Bunn or the other young fella can't be any more of a liability than the hopelessly inept Guzan, surely Kozak can't be any less effective than Gestede, and surely a sulking Richards couldn't be a worse RB than Hutton.  Why not at least give these a try?

Wearing black to the games is an excellent idea

[KRS]

Clark is next to useless but Championship will be about his level along with most players at the club. I fully expect the Jordan trio will most likely move or be moved on.

the best part of the game was the villa singing randy lerner what a wanker loved it

I am fairly sure dressing up in the colour of seals en masse is a bad idea.

Garde was going absolutely ape shit at some of the mind numbingly stupid things we did second half. If he had a gun, Gestede would have been shot for failing to put Traore through, and then they score as a result.

Edvard. You are vehemently behind Remi Garde, and say that you agree with, and can see what he is trying to do.

Can you elaborate what that is please, because it isnt evident anything has changed?

We are still making poor errors all over the pitch. Leaking goals. Not scoring with regularity. Not holding onto the ball with any sort of authority. Not showing battling qualities.

I'm not criticising Garde as such, but I can't make a case for him being any better for us currently than Sherwood, apart from he talks a better game, seems a nice bloke and hasn't slagged the club off in the press.

Football wise, no difference.

I have no feeling towards Garde good or bad to be honest. He's the fall guy.

Based on what?  The set up this week was entirely different from the set up last week, with the only similarity being equally dreadful performances.  He perseveres with Gestede up front, but then never gets the team to put any sort of cross in that the useless oaf could use his one attribute to capitalise on.  I'm sorry, but it all just reads like wishful thinking as there's been no improvement from Sherwood's start to the season at all. 

[tomd2103]

So it is Garde's fault? and Sherwood's, and then Lambert's, and then Mcleish's.... there is something more rotten to it - but I feel more comfortable with the start tactics from Garde than I do from the others.

If you have a squad of poor players the only thing you can do is make the unit tight and fight hard.

Agree and Garde has failed to do that so far.

the whole lot can fuck off,owner players fucking disgrace
