will come through their current difficulties.
Under-pressure Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood says he is
giving everything to turn fortunes around, vowing to improve
their dismal run of form sooner rather than later.
Villa have not won in the Premier League since the opening day
of the season at AFC Bournemouth and sit 19th in the table
ahead of Saturday's clash with Swansea City at Villa Park.
With new arrivals struggling to settle following the departures of
Christian Benteke and Fabian Delph, Sherwood called for
patience as he seeks to steer Villa away from difficulty.
"It's obviously a transition period but I am proud to be Aston
Villa manager," he told reporters on Friday.
"We will need Villa Park bouncing tomorrow and we need the
help of the fans but we will get through it.
"I will give everything to the cause. I can't give any more than I
am giving.
"I know what I'm doing is the right thing - and it's only a matter
of time before the boys click."
Villa were impressive in spells during last weekend's defeat to
champions Chelsea - undone by a Brad Guzan howler and Alan
Hutton's own-goal.
Sherwood is reportedly set to stick with the American on
Saturday and the former Tottenham boss backed his number
one to make amends for his error.
"Goalkeepers can only play one position. Mark Bunn will be
considered and when it's right to make the change, I will make
it," he added.
"Brad Guzan knows he had made a mistake. But we're all in it
together. No-one is the villain.
"I am sure Brad Guzan has the confidence to put it right."
