​Villa ponder use of psychologists for underperforming players

Aston Villa boss Remi Garde is considering turning to a sports psychologist to try and turn around Aston Villa's fortunes.

Villa are winless in 16 matches after Saturday's 1-1 FA Cup third round draw at League Two side Wycombe, with Garde accountable for 10 of those games since his arrival in November.

The Frenchman says this is the worst run in his managerial career.

When asked if now was the time for the help of psychologists, Garde replied: "No, not for the moment.

"I've never used that in my teams, and that's it. But I'm very open-minded and if the solution could be from there, then I could do that."
