DCJonah Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I hope today put to bed this myth that these players are playing as well as they can.They've been horrendously mismanaged this season.I hope Remi can keep up the kind of selections and performances we've seen today.I didn't think we were playing as well as we could but I did feel we lacked too much quality in certain areas to stay up. Keeper being weak, defence making stupid mistakes, midfield offering no protection or no attacking threat and a real lack of goals upfront. I still think a lot of those issues are still the case but today showed that being organised properly makes a difference and that the likes of Gil and Veretout starting more could solve some of the issues mentioned earlier. I'm still not sure we've got enough but I am more confident we will give it a better go than I did before the game today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Reasons to be cheerful:1. Despite having a catastrophic first third of the season, we are still not too far off a poor tail end of the league.2. We have a better squad than most of the relegation rivals with the possible exception of Newcastle (who will also likely escape).3. Despite being dire, we have not been embarrassed this season, and we've played the best teams in the league.4. We have hopefully turned the corner, whereas others will have their poor run.5. We have a seemingly serious, ambitious figure in Garde. Let's hope he's the real deal, and lucky with it.6. We have an owner with deep pockets and can spend big if he needs to in January.7. That clown Sherwood has gone. Looks like we are safe then? ;-) Edited November 8, 2015 by thunderball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Every time the camera panned to Remi, he was standing at the touchline, clapping, urging, directing.Contrast that to Sherwood slouched back in his seat with a big frown on his unshaven mug.We have a class act manager now, thank ****. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Picks his team and makes his subs as if he's watched our games properly. What strange new luxury is this? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm speaking of imagery, and also general sideline demeanor. Also, it helps if what you do while up and gesticulating actually helps accomplish something, rather than 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I liked that he pulled out the old Wenger trick of not seeing the Gestede/Hart incident. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernova26 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Seems an incredible likeable chap so hopefully the players warm to him too. Reminds me of a mini-Houllier very much.I think he's getting sick of answering that rather insulting question about playing French players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 All sounds are good, I begrudgingly gave up my season ticket today but heard game on talkshite radio. From the commentary comments, remi achieved everything and more I could hope from one game in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted November 8, 2015 Administrator Share Posted November 8, 2015 The Man City match thread is in the 'Current Season' sub folder, not where the usual active match threads are. I guess even the mods are sick of this new VT A quick click on "view on web" would have told you this wasn't the case. Please don't blame VillaTalk because of a problem with your phone when using a third party app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaForever1970 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Oh its nice when a new manager arrives all refresh and new, encouraging, happy looking positive upbeat and ready to achieve something. 6 months and he'll look something like this. Desperately trying to get us playing shut up shop football to stop us shipping goals. Gabby will be back in charge running towards the corner flag and everything will be shit again. Lambert arrived after doing well bringing a team through the leagues playing fairly decent stuff, few years at Villa the poisoned chalice usually sorts it out.
