Boss Remi Garde hammering home his Villa plans
Villa boss Remi Garde is preaching the mantra of practice makes perfect into his team as he bids for Premier League survival.
The Frenchman has revealed he is hammering home his footballing philosophy to his players and is not afraid of repeating himself.
