I'm sorry to say: Steve Bruce > Steven Gerrard

I don't care, how much we have spent, if we still have issues, its arguable if it has worked.

In terms of first team players......Carlos and Kamara, is not enough, all the others are cover.

We need players to make a difference, and just two, is not enough to fix the problems.

Do you want to buy a 9 more players, Steven?

Everton threw Benitez out like Newcastle threw Bruce out.

So with Benitez fired from Everton, might he come back to Newcastle?

will admit, we are much the better side, but between our lack of clinical finishing and the corrupt VAR, we are still losing.

We've scored two goals

Not even disallowed for offside. They found something else

Offside

INGSSSSSSSSS

This game screams for Anwar El Ghazi

Great game

Jeez!!! Is this a match thread? Just a bunch of hysterical cry babies. The players are playing fine.

No

Smith > Gerrard

You are saying Villa is showing small club mentality. Sacking Smith is not small club mentality, keeping him would be

Appointing gerrard is small club mentality. Whatever else you are saying is coming from somewhere else than me.

Fast progress maybe, but he had £350 million spend and one of the best players in the Prem to do it with. He lost that £100 million player, than for some reason (if I'm being nice) couldn't take us any further.

I know this season has been strange, yet I think a lot of off-field issues were causing disruptions. If your idea of "not taking us further" is based on the last 5 games, I think that's not a good enough sample for any to come with that statement. But this is the gerrard thread anyway

Looks like he is planning for a lot of work, to be a stepping stone.....what football job is for life?.....SAF and Wenger, were exceptions.

I just don't see how he is a better coach than Smith. Just another big name getting his chance.

Were you prepared to give Smith a chance when he replaced Bruce?  Bruce had numerous promotions to his name and a couple of 10th place finishes in the Premier League with Sunderland and Blues. Versus Dean Smith who'd never got anybody promoted and whose best league season was 9th in the Championship.

Yes, I did. Smith landed his dream job, and at the time it was a sensible appointment. Gerrard is friends with Purslow and wants to manage liverpool, as his bf Carragher keeps telling you. This is just a stepping stone for him, and I don't like it.

Then you won’t mind me saying I think your opinion is nonsense.

Like always, your opinions means shit to me

Yeah, sacking a manager who had been successful because you crave bigger success, pursuing and securing a highly rated young manager and paying several million to get him and his staff out of their contract. Oh and no doubt agreeing to give him substantial financial backing in the transfer market.

You mean that small club mentality?

Bloody ridiculous. Whatever people think about the rights or wrongs of Smith going or hiring Gerrard it is utter nonsense to describe it as small club mentality. 

Overpaying for an inexperienced manager in the hope that he will do good, is a very rich, but still small club mentality. A big club would have hired the right manager. I believe Smith is hundred times the manager this guy is. I don't like what's happened, and that's my opinion. I don't give a shit about what any of you think about my opinion.

He's reportedly on £5mill a year - that's better paid than most of the squad. No wonder he signed up. 

For what? Wtf has he achieved to be earning this much? That's about 100K a week?? ahahaha

What is?

Everything from firing Smith to hiring this guy. Small club mentality is shit.

Shit
