There's absolutely no point persisting with Gerrard. Anyone thinking otherwise, needs to change medication.

To win this. we need them down to 9 

Actually, we need to score.

If we win and he gets sacked, his buddies at sky will say it’s ridiculous to sack a manager after back to back wins

I don't really care. Gerrard is a useless manager. One of the worst we've ever had.

If we can't beat Leeds with 10 men Gerrard can GTFO.

It doesn't really matter, if we by some miracle manage to scrape a lucky winner here. He should be gone regardless. We're going nowhere with Gerrard.

No way Pochettino comes to Villa unless we lose the next two or three.

I think Gerrard will get it together and win a few and draw a few over the next six and that will be good enough.

 

How would that be deemed good enough, if the aim was Europe?

Tbf it probably could. The 4 points we picked up last 2 games could be 0. It’s shit at the moment but it ain’t a disaster just yet. 

Yeah well, that's entirely down to how we want define "a disaster". 

Oh my. I'll take that. UTV! 

City are treating this as a friendly, yet we're still completely outplayed. We're so far off them, it's as if were playing in an altogether different division. 

Got to bury that Ramsey.

can we stop him scoring a hat trick at least

Makes no difference really. We just need Gerrard gone now. 

That's it then.

Backs to the wall against City - guy nailed it for once.

No worries mate, I still want him gone.

Remember when Martinez used to be good?

He really is the least of our concerns. 

Dare I say it out loud... we've actually been decent so far and the tactics seem good for once. 

Nothing against Dendoncker, but did we really need him? Surely we had sufficient cover from youth players, that could've benefitted from some PL game-time? 

Anyone but Gerrard. 

Never seen us so disorganized and all over the place. It would be funny if it wasn't so goddam tragic. He simply has to go now.

Sacking the manager is easy......getting someone to turn this squad around without new players, might not be.

That may be, but do you honestly believe he still could turn things around? 

There's no point continuing with Gerrard.

Can't understand why the fringe players didn't start and play all game smells of desperation to me.

Absolutely. He knew he had to win and couldn't take any risks.

Is it personal with Steven Gerrard for people? Is there something about him people just don't like? Or is it strictly a coaching thing? Not sure if I grasp the levels of antipathy, to be honest. I've never been a particular fan, but it seems like there's something deeper going on that goes beyond the performance, all this old score-settling or baggage or something. I don't get it. 

For me it's really simple, he just seems completely out of his depth. Don't think I've ever seen a manager so devoid of footballing ideas. There is no discernible way of playing. He's had 10 months. Zero progress. Most often, we look like a team that's never played together. Also we have a very expensive team full of internationals. I mean it would be absolutely hilarious, if it wasn't so goddam tragic.

Not going to hang around here for long because there are going to be some very angry, disgruntled people spouting a load of shit about how we are rubbish because we beat a league 1 side 4-1 and this just proves even more Gerrard should be sacked immediately.

Well you guys took a bit of a beating tonight. Sorry for you.

I enjoyed the match. Can’t remember when I actually last enjoyed a cup match, it seems to have been a long time.

Well done lads, took our chances well.

Oh get off your high horse pal. We struggled badly for large periods of the game, and if you cannot see that, I strongly suggest a visit to the nearest optometrist. 

Good second half, but let's not forget, we played a midtable league one side. Beat West Ham comfortably and the pitchforks will go away (for a few weeks). 

My god, we're really growing into the game.
