Aston Villa defender James Collins admits he's feeling better under manager Alex McLeish.
Collins did not dodge the issue when asked if he was glad to see the back of former boss Gerard Houllier.
Collins, who along with fellow centre-back Richard Dunne, was disciplined by the Frenchman last season, broke into a smile as he said: "I didn't say that... but everyone could see we had our differences.
"Me and Dunny want to try and write off last season. We were not at our best, we know that.
"There were certain things going on but both of us now feel we can get back to show our best.
"Training has been great, completely different and so a million times better. We have benefited from that, I am enjoying it more and getting more out of it."
