Funny how nobody came into this thread to comment after the weekend. I thought he played well, not outstanding but well. He’s a solid pro. Certainly didn’t put in the sort of performance that everyone was crying about the Matt Targett thread…
-
Stopped the rot today, wasn’t easy on the eye but got a decent enough point. I wish he would make substitutions earlier though, I’m starting to find myself shouting that at the tv/iPad a lot more often these days! Other than that, hate all the negativity surrounding him all the time. It’s just sucking all the fun out of following the club right now.

Not that I am saying that we have got the managerial appointment wrong as I don’t believe we have, but surely the only way that Purslow would be in trouble over this would be by giving Gerrard too much time as apposed to not enough? I don’t buy this narrative that CP is going to let him have as much time as he wants through fear that his job is on the line if Gerrard fails. I think unless we only pick up 5 points or under from our remaining fixtures (or similar scenarios that resulted in a poor bottom half finish), then SG will get a preseason and I think he’ll get at least 3 months or so of the new season (possibly up to the break for the WC even?), but I have no doubts that if we find ourselves in a similar position to what we found ourselves in this season, then Purslow will sack him regardless of whether he is his ‘mate’ or not.

And yet you’ve written off Steven Gerrard’s ability to do this after 20 games?…
-
Another terrible weekend for us. Sure we haven’t actually played this weekend, but still the results going against us is surely Gerrard’s fault? What makes me really angry is that the season hasn’t finished yet, and there are a lot of teams that can finish above us on the assumption that we won’t take another point. That makes me really angry! And worried! And also angry! Thanks for ruining my weekend Steven Gerrard!! Grrrrr!!!!
-
Pathetic. No doubt if he was still playing for us and was still rubbish as he’d been all season, you’d be critical of the manager for that.
-
With the exception of Digne who I think has had some terrible luck since signing, that is where I am pretty much word for word. Great post WV!
-
Apologies, I thought I’d seen somewhere that it was on the agenda for discussion. My bad.
-
It doesn’t state there, but I’m assuming they confirmed that Castore will be the new kit manufacturer from 22/23?
-
How are they ‘pally’ as you call it? Gerrard had left Liverpool the season before Gomez was signed. I can’t imagine that Gerrard would’ve had much to do with first team players when he was u-18’s manager, I’m sure their paths obviously crossed but to say they are in any way close is a massive stretch imo. Unless there is some other link that I’m missing?
-
You wonder what his season would be like if he dinks the ball over Begović or slots it past him for the 3rd against Everton instead of smashing it and injuring himself?
-
Was the plan all along just to spend our way back into Europe and we’ve gone for Gerrard as he is more of a ‘draw’ for players than Dean Smith is/was?
-
Perhaps a haircut might help turn things around for him?
-
I’m absolutely gutted about Leon Bailey. I can’t remember the last time I was as excited about a signing as I was when we signed him, I would’ve been happy with him alone as a JG replacement - that’s how highly I rated him, but with the injuries and the international breaks it has just not worked out for him at VP. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we can get a good preseason out of him and he’ll get himself in the fold, but I too can see him leaving in the summer.
-
Why on earth would he do that? So let’s assume your ridiculous ‘scenario’ happens, he would make his position untenable. You don’t like Gerrard, we get it, you drone on and on about it on a daily basis, but you just make yourself look foolish with posts like this.
-
It is becoming very difficult to watch us under Gerrard. I think we have some decent quality in possession with creative build-up and spells of probing with the ball. However, that all gets undone by some Sunday league standard defending. We are so damn pedestrian too many times. We are in need of a serious rebuild, and it’s getting harder and harder to argue that I completely trust the current regime to do it successfully.
-
What do you know about kits? ….
-
I’ve got to be honest Nick, I feel the same and I would say I’m more pro-Gerrard than a lot of posters on here. I’ve got no issue with him playing in the game itself, but I think he should be turning down doing videos like this. I feel like it undermines us as a club. Would Pep do a video like that if he was playing in a charity game for Barca? I appreciate he is a little older, but I feel the point stands and the answer would be no imo.
-
I’m very surprised by that. I can understand wanting to bring some winners in but there are obvious dangers to just how high you bring the average age.
-
Where has he said this?
-
The confusion Tom was about how that has any relevance to him being Aston Villa manager or the job that he is doing.
-
What a load of nonsense.
-
Random little bit of info, but we haven’t had a penalty in the league since AEG scored against Newcastle in the first home game of the season. Got to be due one soon?
-
I think Gerrard is playing a clever game with this one, as I’m sure Carney’s side are as well. I don’t buy for one second that he’s any trouble, or he would not be making the match squads.
-
For me it still hasn't quite sunk in that Philippe Coutinho actually plays for Aston Villa. It's not some sort of dream, it's a reality. He’s a genius, a magician, world class, whatever you want to call him. He's totally lighting up Villa Park right now, and I hope more than anything that we make the loan move permanent.
