Gerard Houllier admits Aston Villa are facing eight games which “are vital for our future” after a topsy-turvy season at Villa Park.<\/p>\n

The Villa boss also believes the club’s fans, who called for him to be sacked after the home defeat by Wolves, have a big part to play in the battle to avoid relegation.<\/p>\n

Villa are only one point ahead of the drop zone ahead of Saturday’s clash with Everton at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n

Houllier said: “We know exactly where we stand and the difficulty of our task.<\/p>\n

“You have to remain positive. You can’t spend your time reflecting on what happened.<\/p>\n

“We have eight games ahead of us now and never mind what has happened in the past.<\/p>\n

“This is our league and the eight games ahead are vital for our future.<\/p>\n

“Everybody is concerned because we are not dreamers.<\/p>\n

“There is a new league starting up for us of eight games and the mood is positive.<\/p>\n

“A lot of players are internationals so they have that experience and they know what pressure is.<\/p>\n

“I also know their personalities and they want to do well for the fans and the club.”<\/p>\n

Houllier added: “I can really share the fans’ frustration and anxiety.<\/p>\n

“But their influence is so important for us, especially at this stage of the season.<\/p>\n

“They are fantastic supporters and, with their support, they can be the 12th man every game.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
