God, you’re lucky.
Not only do you support the finest club in the world, but you get to read my thoughts two days running!
Ok, forget that; I’m just in a daft mood at this stupid time of the day, where I’m about to go to bed.
So I saw this article where Dwight Yorke says “sack Garde and appoint me”.
I thought it was just a re-hash of what he’d said a few months ago, but it seems he’s quoted as mentioning nine games to go, so it might be relevant.
So bearing in mind that it might be a bit of creative journalism and I’d never consider Yorke as a Villa manager just yet, there is a certain point that struck home with me;
“You need more than that, somebody who understands the football club, who gets more out of the players and Remi Garde hasn’t been able to do that. Every interview he’s done, there’s no positiveness coming out of it – at least show some fighting spirit with nine games to go.”
And Yorke does have a point doesn’t he, when you look at it like that?
Garde definitely seems to have been playing things down, although I can’t say I blame him, given our position and the fact that he’s been stitched up.
And yes, Garde has been trying to play things up, to a certain extent, if you want to look at it the other way.
He’s still being quoted as saying we can beat the Swans and stay up on the OS.
But his comments haven’t convinced anyone, have they? And we all know that you have to read underneath to see what he actually means.
This is pretty much a throwaway post, as I don’t think Yorke coming in with an upbeat mood would have changed much.
But perhaps you might think otherwise?
All started with Cissohoko should have gone off, free kick Cuzan came out and miss it completely.
Even the BBC text coverage has stopped at 17:48. The game must be that bad…
Hutton ball watching for what nearly 30goals this season
The clown in goals carp worse than enkleman
Green on Verhoute off.
Looks like I was right about Guzan then…
‘Oh, Brad Guzan. A nightmare. He comes to punch clear a free-kick and doesn’t get anything on it… the balls comes off the shoulder of Federico Fernandez and Swansea lead.’
BBC Sport
Bit of a no-brainer really though
He did the same in first half got away with it
Bill Pearson
You can’t blame sissko for that goal
And why was sissko booked in first half HUTTON gave ball away as per usual
Jvillan, he gave away a free kick again and if you see it like i did he should have walked, the mans a dreadful player unsafe.
lack of effort i do hope remi walks and tells the truth about this bag of fucking shit
Bill
Not in the same league of rubbish crap shite as guzan Hutton wastewood and flabby all their today again
No manager should pick any of them as for free kick off sissko I switched over to rugby missed it seen goal
So that’s that then. Another Guzan howler and another 3 points for the opposition. Its like the horror version of Groundhog Day.
you couldn’t script this. even piss poor teams, beat us without actually getting anything on target. can’t question the effort, they are putting in, but no quality whats so. lacking confidence and zero quality game over
That was said Jvillan by Sky , how many would be at the club next year, we all know that team bar one player is worthy off being there that’s Ayew the rest can piss off.even that Green wont make a player from what I can see,
only gana i would keep off the 1st team, oh maybe the left back amavi looked to have something about him.
If any game sums up why we’re going down its that one today. Swansea are woeful, and we are worse – create our own problems and just nothing in the tank to do anything about going behind. Piss poor.
I also think that the ‘kids’ might be crap.
Story of the season – Swansea one shot on target and they win 1-0. Didn’t think we played too bad first half but within 10 minutes of the restart game over.
Here’s a stat for you. – Hutton hasn’t yet played in a game that we won!
Whatever the criticism of the defenders – Guzan should have got to that ball first.
Onward and downwards!
Guys – bit harsh to write off Green – the kid is only 17 playing in a poor side lacking in confidence and quality. I thought he did OK.
totally agree, which is another reason, the manager is reluctant to throw um in before hes certain they can handle it. you have to remember under21 games doesn’t have anything like the same intensity as a piss poor premiership game. also a player like green would not have trained with the first team long. so the understanding you build up with team mates isn’t there.
Hitchen
Wasn’t even a shot his shoulder scored
Hutton is worst pro to wear villa shirt
Listened to the commentary on Talk Sport, Stan Collymore said that he finds it unbelievable that Cissokho has been at big clubs like Liverpool, Lyon and Porto and still has absolutely no idea how to defend. Can’t disagree with him there, Amavi will walk straight back in when fit.
Thing that riles me about this season is the utter crap of most of the teams….just shows how crap we have been….we are the most consistently crap team in the league…other teams have had spells of not so crap.
We didnt play well today, Swansea actually made us look good. Gana was the only decent player but he still gives the ball away way too often. Green is only 17, and I thought he was very positive when he came on. The rest were bang average as ever.
For next season, it would be nice to keep Amavi and Gana, but that might be a big ask. Along with the likes of Grealish, Gardner, Baker etc, we would have a decent side. The rest of the dross we should try and offload asap…Garde and his sidekick included.
