To be honest, if we go down, it's not his fault and I don't mind if we do, so long as we keep him and keep working towards his style of play. This is how I feel too. Now, obviously if we don't get any better and Garde isn't able to improve us at all over the whole season, then there may be a case for reviewing that. But my instinct is that he'll end up doing a good job here and if we are inevitably relegated, we should keep him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 The faults I see,are there every week......under Lambert, Sherwood and Garde. until these faults are cured, I can't see us winning another game irrespective of the opposition. i don't really see any improvement.....the team is still brittle, the individual battles are rarely won, we are untidy in our play, we track back in moods, now and again, our position play is suspect, we have players out of position regularly, we lose shape at the drop of a hat,we have no fight, goals are conceded from little danger.....fed up now. other that, we are fine.

To be fair to Sherwood, he never inherited a European cup winning side from Lambert either. look it's been rotten for years and there is little chance of it changing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's literally nothing good that can come from having 3 managers in a season. Although I agree Sinclair should make way for someone else.

ozvillafan Posted December 14, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2015 We look a little better in attack, though our confidence is such that the players obviously lack confidence and snatch at chances instead of burying them. What concerns me is not our attack, though. It's how we handle ourselves off the ball. We just DO NOT pressure the other team. Ever. We sit back, usually very deep, and sit in a Zonal defense. When the opposition get the ball, we rarely come within 3 feet (Ayew excepted). Giving teams in this league time and space is criminal. It allows them to pick a good pass forward instead of forcing them to react quickly or turn the ball backwards. Arsenal were in snooze mode yesterday as they passed the ball at will. Remi needs to get the whole team pressing. Yes, it can leave us exposed but it's also going to lead to mistakes from the opposition: You make your own luck.... ... and we need lots of it.

PompeyVillan Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 To be fair to Remi, he's not had the easiest of fixtures to build up any momentum with. He deserves the benefit of the doubt in my opinion. We don't have much choice though really do we? There is so much pressure on him, it's unreal, for what it is worth I prefer him to Sherwood.

I think people are conveniently forgetting this season under Sherwood and remembering his good run last season. The football under Sherwood this season is up there with the worst the club has ever produced. We were deteriorating by the week and I'm certain that with Sherwood in charge we'd still be on 4 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Shown close to nothing for me - sacking him before the season ends wouldn't acheive anything - but if he keeps not winning what do you do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sharkyvilla Posted December 14, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2015 He seems to have improved Veretout and Ayew, he brought back Amavi at the first opportunity but unfortunately that's gone tits up due to injury, he has given minutes to Gil unlike Sherwood, he's banished Gabby hopefully, he's dealt with Grealish like an adult and shown he can make a tough decision, generally I think his XIs make some sense unlike what Tim was picking, though Gestede shouldn't be near a starting XI. I thought Sinclair was good for an hour yesterday and generally adds more to our attack than he is given credit for. Remi is also clearly not thick as shit and an embarrassment in interviews. Another manager might have got more cohesion between the back 5, but then the options are so poor and he's had to change it every week due to injury. I think even Moyes or Allardyce would struggle to achieve that too. It's way too early to write him off, we need to pick up as many points before January then have a strong window. I think we are down anyway so it's a case of who do you want to rebuild the club, and I'm hoping he and his staff can do that. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remi said after the game that if you press too much against a team like Arsenal then you leave open spaces for them to exploit. It's tactical. He'd rather the team stay organised and in shape from what I've seen. Yesterday when defending, Sinclair and Gestede swapped positions meaning that Sinclair could press. One player pressing on his own is a bit of a pointless exercise though. Off the pitch I've been really impressed with him, on it not so much so far. To attack the way he wants to attack you need Grealish, Gil and Ayew on the pitch together but to defend how he wants to defend you can only really start one of them if he wants Gestede up top.

piav_k4 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 “The discussion with the owner was also about that,” he said. “I wanted to have certain answers and he told me that in the case of relegation the project was still on, and that he counted on me to lead it. So I am working also in the medium term.” Asked if he would want to stay, Garde added: “I would want to stay if I feel that everyone is behind me. A season in the Championship is not the stuff of dreams but we can reconstruct the foundations of a big club quite quickly. “To go down, it is not the wish of anyone, but if we are in the Championship and the club still wants me, I will start again with Villa. The answer is yes.” Bham Mail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 The next five games is now when he will be judged, if he is still without a win then i think he is pants. you cant really blame him for a idiotic piece of defending from hutton ending the game after 10 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VillaCas Posted December 14, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2015 Just the most idiotic and ridiculous posts. The bloke has had 5 games after inheriting the most dismal set-up I've seen at VP in 20 years. I'm just thankful we've found someone willing to give it a go. I'd be ashamed if Garde was to read some of these posts. Get a grip 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he picks Grealish though I think he should get a new five year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
