The last home performance at home signalled what could happen today, as we were equally as shite, although by some miracle we came out 2-0 winners, probably said more about norwich. The players do not want to play for him, let alone run through brick walls. Its unfortunate but it clear to see that he cannot motivate these 'professional' footballers. They need a rocket up there arses, old school.. Back to basics.. Nigel pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does he do, though? I'd have probably picked that team. We've been on a decent run of performances (without looking like scoring many) and your players turn out... that showing? If he did something odd or experimental that hugely backfired, I'd be all in favour of blaming him for that. I'm not even sure I can blame Garde for anything that happened today. He might as well pick the U21 team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little attacking threat as usual obviously but it was once we went 1-0 down that heads dropped. They're just really really really mentally weak - it's as simple as that. I don't agree, I thought we looked nervous from the off. Yes, they're mentally weak, but they really shouldn't have been. To be honest, I don't want him to go, because I doubt he'll resign and paying yet another manager off in a sacking is just yet more money wasted. People who are mentioning David Moyes are in dreamland, no way would he come here. We'd be lucky to get Nigel Pearson, Ian Holloway is probably more realistic. But I'm not just going to let Garde off for today's performance. My faith and trust in him has been knocked back to where it was at the start of January.

Ingram85 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Yeah let's get rid of him and get someone else in for the players and board to ignore!!!! Oblivious. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some of them weren't mentally weak to begin with but after this abortion of a season it's really not surprising at all that they start nervously and I don't think anything can change that. Not that it's excusable by the way - they need to sort themselves out but they're clearly not up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 we could do a lot worse than bring in Mick McCarthy, he knows the Championship and would get us organised and hard to beat which is what we need in that division. He also wont take any nonsense from prima donnas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really buy this mentally weak argument, Lescott, Richards, CIssokho have all played in successful teams that wouldnt sign mentally weak players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilbertoAVFC Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Garde's the best thing about the club at the moment. He's the best manager we've had since Houllier. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Could Be Rotterdam Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Forget tactics. Forget formations. Forget substitutions. If the players can't pick their heads up and fight for this club the there isn't anything Remi can do. It isn't his fault. And today's performance in isolation isn't lerners fault. Those players should be ashamed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Garde isn't a tactician he doesn't look at the teams we are playing, he messed up today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 One of worst performances I've ever seen. At 2-0 at half time you'd think they'd come out firing, but they all basically crawled into the pitch basically scared of going back out. Long hard season in championship ahead. No way are these lot (players and manager) bringing us back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSmith22 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 There's really no positive thing to look forward to at the moment except the chance of a complete clear out once the season ends. If I was Remi I would literally have my resignation ready by the morning. Everything about this match was a slap in the face to anyone that has stuck it out to this point and going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Garde's the best thing about the club at the moment. He's the best manager we've had since Houllier. I agree but it's not really difficult to be better than McLeish, Lambert and Sherwood. Three of the shittest managers in Villa's long history.
