4) Play Carles Gil
The footballing world was stunned when Aston Villa announced the signing of Carles Gil, but then Tim Sherwood rarely played him.
The only real technically gifted option at Villa, along with maybe Jack Grealish, so Garde must use him a lot more.
Put him just behind the strikers or on the wing and let his flair do the talking. Yes Villa need the backbone and the fight, but they also need to offer something up top and Gil can do that.
Villa didn’t even look like scoring under Sherwood, but introducing this guy could be a different story.
