No sane person with hopes of a career would go near Villa under current regime. The staff seem completely demoralised.
I thought it was pre-season.. Game against a lower division side, prep for the championship.
Remi had to go with the players at his disposal, not fair to judge him when he has sheite players to choose from.
See what happens in Jan, can imagine a fair few coming and going, only then will I cast judgement
I'm judging by his record of no wins in 10 games. Sherwood won one game in his 9 or so games in charge and was sacked for it.
I just don't see that Garde has been able to motivate the players in his time so far and some team selections have been dubious at best.
Think the board have got to realise, this ain't working.
the team is shiete, Tim brought these players in so yes judge him it was his team, it is still his team and they just aint good enough. You cant blame Remi for that. You can motivate them till your blue in the face if they cant cut it then it doesnt matter what you do.

Yes, agree the team is awful. He ain't the man to bring us back.
There are players there worth their place. Some are plainly not. Westwood is not a PL player; he has some skills but overall his game is not good enough; giving away the penalty was crass.
We're going to get nowhere without the right sort of signings. Don't see where they're coming from but fingers crossed.
Not too fussed about the result; away fixtures to basement clubs on small grounds who have everything to fight for is a nightmare, as Liverpool found out. It would probably have been a boost to have won, although our last win (in the League Cup) didn't provide one.
Hope Richards' injury is only minor; at RB he gives us something extra and Clark and Okore in central defence seemed fine.
Team getting dogs abuse is nothing new; Lambert survived for over a year on it. However, the best answer is to give the fans something to shout about.
Despite your position/predicament, I honestly think you'll beat us Tues.
Have you been drinking Tux!

imo if we have them at the end of season and relegated
Amavi, Veretout, Gana, Adama, Ayew, Cissokho will all leave
This month
N'Zogbia, Gabby, Lescott will go hopefully
If we shift the useless high earners like N'zogbia and Gabby, then the wage bill will be more manageable. So we can probably afford to pay the wages of Amavi & Co. Which means that if other clubs want them then we can demand decent money for them.
Newcastle when they were relegated managed to hang on to their better players. But then they didn't have an owner who was planning to go anywhere.
NZogbia on 65k a week is that true what I have been reading?
Garde may not have signed the players, but he keeps picking Richardson, Westwood and Bacuna.
And he took off Gil - who was Villas best player today - and, to gain confidence, he ought to have gone for the win and started with Ayew.
So he is making selection mistakes all over the place.
In short; he dont know what he's doing any more than Sherwood did.
Bring in Pearson seems a good shout to me. Should have signed Moyes back in October or whenever. It was obvious he was looking for a way out.

Yes Pearson for me, he'll demand passion and steel, if he doesn't get it from a player he'll get someone in who can. If he can then get Shakespeare and Walsh from Leicester as his backroom staff at some point in time that would be an added bonus.

If Remi's winless run continues vs Palace and Leicester I can't see how he can hold onto his job. For me, this would signal the time to act and relieve Remi of duties. Nothing personal against him, he seems a knowledgeable and nice guy, just a case of wrong club/wrong time.
-------------------------------------------------------
I agree.
I don't think it would take too much convincing for Remi to leave. Watching him on the sidelines, he seems somewhat bewildered about what is going on. He doesn't seem very happy and no doubt there is little rapport between him and the team.
If Villa loses the FA Cup replay, then he may not be around for the next PL game.
You can't keep on putting out your best team game after game. After today we have Palace on Tuesday and Leicester on Saturday. Reckon the team today was a reasonable selection if Garde's aim was to keep some of our better players fresh for Tuesday. Yep Richardson is not much good, but you'd think he'd be OK against the basement clubs, and Westwood may not be the first name on every fan's team sheet but you don't expect him to be so daft to give away a totally needless penalty.
Likewise taking Gil off was probably with an eye for Tuesday; after all, Ayew and Veretout were reasonable replacements.
Bottom line is we're still in the cup, and we have some fresh legs for the Palace clash. Could be worse. Hope Richards is fit; he's not a perfect right back but he's at least as good as Hutton and was very lively going forwards.
No fecker who's any good would dream of joining a losers Chumpionship destined team.
