Regardless though his time is in the past and I think as a club we spend too long looking back and wallowing in what we think so and so did wrong and focusing on those that have f all to do with us going forward. For the first time in a very long time we have a positive result to build on. Lets focus on that and look forward. As Sherwood put us in this mess I'm allowing him credit for the Spurs game, so for me 1 point from the last 10 PL games ..but I agree, lets look forward now ...Hopefully we can bring two or three in (did nothing wrong but I'm not convinced at all by Bunn) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That says all we need to know about him. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itdoesntmatterwhatthissay Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Apart from the 100% commitment from the players I don't think we played that differently with the ball under Garde than we did last night. Oh and Kozak. We needed Garde when MON was sacked, the battle now is too great. A real shame but I hope he sticks around and keeps transforming how this club plays football.

Too many times this season it has been 1 step forward followed by 2 steps back. For example we got a good point against Citeh and then followed it up with a heavy loss at Everton. Played well at home to West Ham and then put out two gutless displays at Norwich and Sunderland. Feels more like it's been two steps back, followed by five steps back.

Completely different character to his Newcastle days, and always seems to speak well of our club. Back on topic, I think that lacklustre nature of the performance against Wycombe could have worked in our favour. I think Garde wanted to use the game to see which players wanted the fight, hence his team selection against Palace. Hopefully we can get something against Leicester to build some momentum. Plus, we owe them one! What did he say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Excellent performance, full of spirit, energy, hussle & bussle and a willingness to fight to get the ball back. I'd love it if we could force another couple of wins in the next few games. Bacuna, Gana, Lescott and Ayew were our best players, in my opinion, putting in great shifts. If that's the way we continue to play (full of energy, constant hassling of opponent players, even from Kozak), then it's possibly clear to see why Garde has been reluctant to use Adama more, despite his obvious attacking flair. He would add considerably to the attacking ability in the team, but it's hard to disagree that we wouldn't have been 'on top' of Palace as much as we were last night, had he been in the side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presented the entire results of both managers. How is that in a sherwood-centric manner? And then you choose a specific section of games for your comparison. Brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Premier League would not want to lose a club of this magnitude. I hope they can resolve it." He's a monumental ring piece, but fair play to him for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Houliier was well connected and looked like he had Cabaye nailed on to sign in the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaCas Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Garde now needs to be backed in the transfer market. We need strengthening all over the pitch but for me a couple of options up top are essential. I liked Kozak's attitude last night but if we could get someone strong, mobile and quick like Loic Remy on loan it could transform our season. Secondly, an Ashley Young-type wide player who can beat a man but also cover his full-back We could do with others elsewhere. GK, CB, RB but first for me would be the two attacking positions I don't see how Grealish get back in this side at all - it would need a complete sea-change in attitude and approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
