Gerrard may have confidence in his players but do they have confidence in him? Players will always look to a manager to sort out a bad result/run. However, if Gerrard has lost some or most of the dressing room, results by and large won’t improve, hence the inconsistency.
I still maintain that he doesn’t know his best team? Every week we see two or three changes. This can’t go on much longer and certainly until the World Cup break.
I don’t think he’s a bad bloke and he’s been a winner most of his career but sometimes you have to realise/accept your limitations. Perhaps the Premier League and being at Aston Villa is just too big right now in his career?
