He had a win percentage of 55% with Arsenal and took them one place higher in his only full season with them, and got them to the Europa League Final. He had a poor end but the fans never seemed to take to him.

Totally agree, by the end he took them backwards

that’s harsh. He had one premier league job, barely knew the language, was taking over from a legend and a squad full of ageing and disinterested players and his record is similar to both Wenger and Arteta. 

I am only giving an opinion, he could not sort out a troubled dressing room, had no connection with the fans (granted following Wenger was a tough ask), couldn't speak the language, and took Arsenal backwards.  This is not progressive management, and make no mistakes there are some serious challenges ahead for the new manager, he would not be my choice.

What do you mean by that (honest question)? It’s certainly progress on what we’ve had. He is a manager who has very recently won major things. If you want someone ‘young and hungry’ an argument could be made that Gerrard was that person. he’s actually younger than both Klopp and Guardiola. 

his record in the Premier league speaks for itself

Emery is 1000 times the coach that charlatan is. 

As much as agree he is a better coach, his record of managing in the Premier League is not great, as previous said not a progressive appointment IMO

I hope not, not a progressive step IMO

He should try to coach Liverpool under 9's.

More his level. 

That's just cruel, he would destroy their innocent child confidence too

Please sack him tomorrow. I am due to take my seven year old to his first ever game on Sunday. I want the atmosphere to be electric not absolutely toxic. Get him out now!

That's a tough call, I would not take my kids to that game if Gerrard is still in charge

Media: "Can you turn this around".

Gerrard: "I'm a winner, I'm a fighter, I'm not a quitter".   No Stevie can you turn is around???  I guess not!

Is Gerrard now quoting the lyrics to 'The Joker' by The Steve Miller Band?

Graham Turner was less out of his depth managing Villa than Gerrard the utter clown

I can say with all honesty there is absolutely nothing I can find to like about Man City, this is not bitterness just my reality.  Let's be honest I hate the scum but at least I can laugh at how ridiculous they are, with Man City there is just nothing.  They are everything that is wrong in football, condescending to other clubs, arrogant, the ESL debacle, there use of state sponsorship to flout FFP, the list goes on and on.  They are my nemesis.

I honestly understand the reaction to Jack leaving the Villa, but I think some perspective is needed.  Football is a fickle beast and players come and go, we as fans and the true lifeblood of the club have a huge part to play in turning all this negativity in to a whole load of positivity and supporting the team as only we can.  Jack chose to leave, we have not, will not, never will and nothing makes me prouder to be a Villa fan.

I think now we have a more well balanced team from an attacking point of view, there is definitely more pressure on starting positions as we now have a much stronger squad.  In a way I think the pressure is off them a little too and for some the shackles are off and they could kick on.  I hope for a good season, strong team work and if we can get around 60 points it will be a good season in my opinion.

it's really hard to find any positive to this display, not sure the selection helped anyone in the starting 11, not saying that the manager cant motivate the team to play one of the best in the league but something isn't right

target isn't playing 

I'd rather drinkmeths
