TRO Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I'm pretty sure we are going to be entertained between now and the end of the season, by the opposition.....just being a cock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Maybe the the reason is his appointment will be announced just before kick of and the Villa players will give him a garde of honour ? Gets coat and runs for the exit .. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I hope he plays Gary Agbonlahor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hope he doesnt do a Houllier and wave to the Arsenal fans when they beat us. Anyone else other than me think the reason why Wenger was touting him for the Villa job is to get him experience inorder to take over from him when he leaves Arsenal?

Richard Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 So has Remy Gard signed yet?Do you think he will save us, Rich? Are you happy about this appointment or do you think we should have gone for someone with more managerial perhaps?It's a tough ask for anybody. Can he secure premier league survival? maybe the odds are not in his favour given : the upcoming run of games, the new players not used to the league or a relegation battle, the position we are in meaning we are still in the bottom three even if we win one or two on the bounce, the fact that he is not used to the club or the league in terms of management. I'm not dissing the "lack of experience" thing or saying we needed someone with more hours under his managerial belt ( I think Allardayce would have kept us up by the way) because to be honest there is a difference between just keeping us up and basically putting in place something to reverse the tide and make sure we dont have these battles for a few years yet. Sherwood was not capable of either, Allardyce may have been capable of one but not the other, Moyes may have been capable of both to limited degree, this chap may be able to do the latter but not the former, who knows in reality.For me it is not just about staying up this year it is in sorting out the complete and utter mess and shambles we as a club have become and that may actually take relegation to do. So we may actually still go down this year and he sort it out once and for all. My fear was / is we are going down and stay down for a while. I'm not sure whether he can or is able to sort it out long term but that's what I want out of him, out of any manager of Villa. It's a case of suck it and see with him as it would be any bloke to varying degrees. But Im not focussed too much on relegation this season as I've accepted it anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam may keep Sunderland up but I really don't think he was the man for the job here, Garde will give us a fresh aproach, reading up on him, he will be a cool head in these times which is needed for me.

Didiersix Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 At the risk of ruining everything, I've got a good feeling about this one. I think he will give us a good chance of staying up. Our big problem (as we all know) is goalkeeper and striker, but even so, I think he has enough there to build something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have a feeling he wont be there for long if it does turn out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Someone earlier mentioned that Garde likes to build from the back but in an attacking sense. I'm reading a break down of his tactical approach and it seems that he builds from the back as in defense first. Here is a small excerpt from the article.Against Tottenham in the first-leg of their Europa League knockout tie, Lyon were extremely aggressive with their pressing – and also intelligent in targetting the opposition. Jan Vertonghen’s distribution is superior to that of William Gallas, so Gomis was tasked with pressing Vertonghen, ‘steering’ the ball to Gallas; similarly in central midfield, Moussa Dembele was targetted almost to the point of being man-marked, and the ball ‘directed’ to Scott Parker. In the image you can see the player matchups and Parker being left alone – the centre-forward, Gomis (marked with grey) is discouraging the ball to the central defenders. Parker was harried after he received the ball, but with Tottenham’s fullbacks pushed up very high, he was often forced to dump the ball on the centre-backs, who were being pressed intelligently by the hard-working Gomis. In the return leg in Lyon, the home side’s strategy (even though trailing 1-2) was to sit back a lot more, inviting pressure and trying to hit Tottenham on the counterattack, Gomis again was detailed to pay attention to Vertonghen. This section reads all too true..... After some horrendous individual defensive errors in numerous games, Garde has started trying to protect his back four in recent weeks with unabashedly defensive tactics, even when playing at home, and looking to hit teams on the break like he did against Tottenham. He’s also experimented with a 4-4-2 (against Sochaux and Reims) and a 4-2-3-1 (against Toulouse), where in defensive positions the wide men pull back to form a 4-4-1-1 when out of possession. http://frenchfootballweekly.com/2013/04/28/olympique-lyonnais-the-tactical-debrief/ Edited November 2, 2015 by sexbelowsound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
