Gerrard hasn’t come here with a five year plan but with the intention of success within the next 2/3 seasons. All of our first team eleven are under 30, with only Ashley Young in the squad over this. We do lack experience.
If he wants some senior pro’s in right now, I’d have no problem it as long as we don’t do any “Shay Given” type contracts. Under this regime I don’t think we will. Digne would be a fine addition.

Started it last night, the first episode was ok but did fear it would fall away as most BBC seem to. The Fall had a good start but the end was a complete farce, like a group of 8 year old kids had written it.
I’ve given up with it now. Got to the end of episode 3 and can’t be bothered with the rest. -
Jack Butland? Had a pretty high stock a few years back and talk of a £30m plus price tag.
Should be in his prime at 28, but now just a back up keeper for Palace and probably won’t play more than ten games a season.
-
I think he should stay with us now and play some U23 games for the rest of the season.
Then sit down with him in the summer and decide whether a new loan is best for his development.

The Tourist (BBC1 or all episodes on BBC iPlayer). Probably divide opinion this one because it started ok but has sadly gone downhill rapidly for me.
-
Anyone think this guy will be ready to challenge Cash next season or will he need another season out on loan (Championship perhaps)? We obviously think a lot of him to give him a 5 year contract.

We do need competition for Targett but also someone that can upgrade us in the position.
Owen Wijndal would probably do that immediately. Aaron Hickey or Borna Sosa possibly but I haven’t seen enough of them to really know?
In addition to the above, there is also Antonee Robinson? Pretty sure he’s good enough to challenge Targett.With Axel going/gone, then surely we need an additional CB this window. The Connor Goldson links will no doubt ramp up now. Question marks about whether he could step up though but Gerrard replied on him a lot at Rangers and he is a local lad.
In the Championship right now there is also Tosin Adarabioyo, Ben Cabango, Chris Mepham, Lloyd Kelly and Harry Soutter, although Soutter is recovering from a bad injury at present. Any of these guys would settle quickly into the squad though.

I do think the football under Gerrard has been very conservative even though not easiest fixtures. Its a bit Rafaesque
I agree but after five consecutive defeats, he needed to stop the rot and steady the ship. By and large he’s done that.We do need to be more expansive though. Our final ball is largely appalling.

Being a Black Country fella, I’ve had many an orange chip. I still eat battered chips occasionally because the kids like the novelty when having a chippy tea but quite honestly I prefer a regular chip shop chip. Nicer to eat with a cod or a kebab.
If just out the fryer, battered chips can be swimming in grease.

Completely self inflicted. Lacked a ruthless streak in the final third but we were very sloppy in possession in the second half.
Gerrard needs to rip them a new one.

Decent eleven but no Watkins is a real blow. I guess we won’t have a lot of experience on the bench? Perhaps just Young?

This will be a tough game but with Brentford playing a couple of games last week and carrying a few injuries, we should have enough to gain a positive result.
Fitness and Covid permitting, team pretty much picks itself at present. Hause is a certain starter now and he’ll be useful against the height of Brentford. Going to say 1-2 win.
Martinez
Cash Konsa Hause Targett
McGinn Luiz Sanson
Buendia Ramsey
Watkins
Subs: Steer, Bogarde, Young, Iroegbunam, Carney, Traore, El Ghazi, Archer, Ings

With Tuanzebe likely to be moving on next week, I wonder if Gerrard will look to take Connor Goldson as a short term option to cover Konsa?
He’s a local boy and desperate to be closer to his family. I’ve spoken to his father a couple of times in the past when he was linked with Wolves and West Brom. Not sure if he’s really good enough but could be a short term squad option.

Yep, all talk. Lange out! -
Happy New Year to all on VT. Take care and stay safe.
Never thought I’d find thread’s discussing things like gravy so interesting but it what makes this distinguished discussion group so likeable.
In addition, I don’t think any thread is worthy if it doesn’t contain at least one of these:

Have to say, the Great Escape is still a fantastic watch.

Sunday’s game now cancelled. I wonder if a little game playing is going on?
Injuries can clear up and some new signings incoming next week could really boost their chances.

Phillips out until March, not his biggest fan but its not good for them
Massive blow for them, as he’s basically the glue that holds that team together. If they do sell Raphinha in January, they could be in trouble. -
Based on nothing at all, I wonder if Gerrard will be interested in taking Curtis Jones either on loan or permanent transfer?
Highly rated youngster but just can’t get enough games with Liverpool. I presume Gerrard will know him quite well.

Trippier rumoured on 150k pw. Makes me want them to fail all the more.
It’s the only way they’re going to attract players at present. Massive contracts but you can bet every single one will have a relegation clause. Can’t blame someone wanting a huge last contract I suppose.
