Purslow made a bad decision on appointing Gerrard, but the day to day business of the club has been excellent under his tenure. Hopefully now the owners know this and will restrict his ability to interfere in football matters.
-
That’s just semantics.
-
You mean like Gerard did last season…? Your right the squad is underachieving, but this is the same squad who will now have the scalps of two managers in 12 months, that’s what any decent potential manager will be considering.
-
The club should have put Gerrard out of his and our misery a month ago, but didn’t have the bottle because it was Gerrard. Should never have been appointed and should never have gone on for this long and now has put the club in jeopardy of relegation. What decent manager would even want to touch the club now?
-
Very happy to see this news with Doug, I can buy a new jersey now.
-
I don’t think it has anything to do with confidence. They all all very good players and not getting the right clear messages from the manager and are playing confused, as they don’t know their roles. A good manager makes his messages simple so the players understand what is required, it’s obviously not occurring. He needs to go, so the season can be saved.
-
When a manager isn’t getting the best out of his players and making them look worse than they are, surely their time is up? If the club don’t pull the trigger tonight, they aren’t serious.
-
I said from the start he should be given 12 months, but that is nearly up and if anything, we are probably worse than when he first came in. I'd rather us pull the trigger now and try and get a reaction to get the 3 points against Forrest. Get the new manager in now and give them time, hopefully the squad will react and get the club in a better position prior to the WC break. I just don't see how it improves and that should worry those who are making the decisions.

We basically stopped playing after the goal, balls played back in crowded areas by players, play was far too slow, when we did create some good movements, they were followed up by poor first touches. A good team would have put 4 or 5 against that Southampton team today, not good enough. Don’t know what Gerrard was so happy about at the end of the game, first half was just a pass, but poor against a poor team in the second half.
-
I didn’t mind it also, thought the av was clever, but prefer to see the fill name there someone.
-
He needs 9-10 points over next 4 games to keep his job.
-
It’s amazing how people are making excuses for Man City. They could have rested players as they have a CL game with Sevilla midweek I believe but turned up with basically their best 11 as they wanted the 3 points. Pep was unhappy, Villa came to play. Mings was awesome today, put Haaland in his pocket.
-
I think the problem with McGinn is he was signed to be a championship player with the potential to be a PL player, but is he really a top 10 club PL player? He has stagnated and struggles with intricate game plans, his role under Smith would have been far simplified.
-
While it was a better performance, I’m not sure whether it was from the players reacting to the boos from the fans last home game or they are still playing for Gerrard? The emotion displayed says it was for the supporters and that’s great they are showing they care, but it needs to be more than that week in week out. I wanted to give Gerrard time, but it has run out. He needs three points next week IMO to get more time.
-
Maybe, but he was a promising player when we were bidding prior to his break out season and Luiz is a Brazilian international with a way better CV. £30m + was the real number to get Luiz, Arse we’re trying to get him on the cheap.
-
When we were chasing Smith Rowe last season didn’t he only have 12 months left on his contract and Arse were turning down £30m+ ?? Cant have it both ways. Glad Luiz is still here.
-
When Gregory took the Derby job, I cried.
-
This is what you get when you can only win 1 in 5 for the start of the season. 5th, 6th choice on the list?? Disappointed.
-
What a load of rubbish. Most new Gerrard wasn’t ready for the PL, nothing to do with the clubs who are now both playing CL football.
-
Purslow needs to pull the trigger tonight, this cannot be turned around.
-
Personally I will be gutted if he leaves, always thought he was a very good player and can still become better. In the right position in midfield he could make the whole team tick, just needs a good manager who can utilise his talents.
-
You can say what you like about Gerrard, but your narrative doesn’t reflect reality. People are quick to forget Rangers we’re dumped to the bottom division and had to work there way back and Gerrard got them across the final hurdle by rebuilding their team to what they are today. I agree he wasn’t ready to be a manager of a PL club he should have stayed at Rangers for a few more seasons. Scotland is a poor league, but like anything all leagues go in cycles and Rangers in the past two seasons have finished at the quarter final and final of the Europa League and now both the big two are in the CL main group. A league may be poor but doesn’t mean some teams in that league aren’t competitive across Europe.
-
Why does anything need to be read into the score? Bournemouth we’re eventually going to have an emotional drop after the excitement of returning to the PL, just did it against a Liverpool team who desperately needed a win. The same Liverpool team we put 7 past two seasons ago. -
Well he worked in the media for years, but your right, would have no idea how the media really works.

And supporters forums have never got their opinions wrong on players before….start list here
