Ginko is right Imo. I'm not a believer that international football is somewhat pedestrian in comparison to the Premier league either. I remember someone posting on here that in international tournaments players on average actually cover more ground per game than in the premier league. It's our tactics that need to change not Sanchez dropping. What I have read about Garde he will hopefully play a style that will be more suitable for him.

Out of the shit selections KMac has made these last couple of games I think he actually may be onto something with Bacuna in midfield. He looks pretty good and will surely only improve. Remi may have other ideas though.

But this is what he does brilliantly for his national side. He breaks up play and passes it short straight to a playmaker to work it. This or man marks the opposition's best player out of the game. It's just that we haven't played to his strengths because we haven't had a decent manager to do this since he joined us!

Probably did that after they saw the team sheet!

http://mobile.avfc.co.uk/default.aspx?s=news-display&aid=5113886 Defender ruling following Swansea game. Micah Richards has been handed a one-match ban. This will come into effect immediately. This means the defender misses tonight's Tottenham clash. HOW CAN YOU BAN A PLAYER JUST OVER AN HOUR BEFORE KICK OFF. THE FA ARE A JOKE!

Have I missed something here? How can he be banned little more than an hour before kick off? Surely they have to give us more notice than that! Wtf!

Long road ahead but at least we finally will have some direction. Fresh start, let's have it!

Omg actual tactics! The players won't know what's hit them!

Remi Garde Le Sauveur

I would prefer Amavi wide to Richardson myself

8 defensive players....... Wtf? Cup game right?

That's really unfortunate. I really want to see him in the first team. He did well for Forrest and reportedly was doing well in preseason before his injury if I remember correctly. Yeah me too. Don't think he's injured again, just too soon for him yet by the way he worded the tweet. Gary Gardner ✔@22GardsAnother 3 days of hard training under my belt with the team! Wanna wish the boys good luck tonight lets get the win #utv #avfc! 11:02 AM - 28 Oct 2015

Won't be playing tonight. He has tweeted good luck to the team for tonight's game.

How about Mike Bassett?

Will lose all of them by some considerable margin We haven't lost a game this season by a "considerable margin", and that was with a guy in charge who is about as much of a football manager as my left arse cheek is. I think we'll improve if we get an actual manager to take over. Your right arse cheek?

Should Garde come there could be some favours pulled in from Arsenal with loans in January. Also he's worked with Loric Remy at Lyon (might be dreaming on that one)

Benito Carbone has made his interest known to Villa chiefs of his interest in becoming manager

Hahah you say this without a sense of a irony. It's fantastic.

I Agree, just can't see him leaving it at that though. Bet he'll get stuff out in the press without being quoted directly so as not to breach any confidentiality agreement. Possibly - but we didn't have a confidentiality agreement with Lambert did we? Or if we did - it didn't stop him coming out and making some incredibly annoying comments. Thought it was part and parcel of contracts these days, but you're right Lambert has been well annoying. Not sure exactly what would be classified as confidential information in such a contract if I'm honest. Let's hope his was water tight eh!

Sherwood released statement: “I am very disappointed that I will not be able to carry on in my role as manager of Aston Villa. "I knew when I took on the role that it would be a big challenge, but it proved to be one I greatly enjoyed and I know I have learned a lot from thisexperience. "Obviously, the initial priority was to stay in the Premier League, but beating Liverpool in the FA Cup semi at Wembley and then leading the team out for the Final was an achievement and experience that I will treasure for the rest of my career. “I’d like to thank my coaching staff and the staff throughout the club for their dedication, the Villa fans for their passionate support and the players, who gave everything during my time at the club. "I wish the club all the best for the rest of the season and indeed for the future.”

Dwight Yorke explains why he is the right man for Villa “Villa need something to really spark them up right now. I spent ten years there, I had a fantastic relationship with the fans there and I just feel when I look around at the managers up for grabs at the moment that they need something a bit more exciting to come in and really lift the place.” Fancy a laugh?
