I am being told I disliked him from the start, not true

Some people had reservations, some hated him right from the off. Some however, gave him a chance and didn’t like what they saw.

So how much more time do we give him, I'm asking the proper fans only?

I think it’s telling that we look this bad yet the players seem to be trying, this is clearly on Gerrard. As someone who was very happy with the appointment and certainly wished him well, it isn’t down to any bias when I say he absolutely has to go now.

I’m ok if he was sacked now, we’re going backwards.

If this gets any more exciting, a funeral is going to break out.

Turgid. It felt like a loss somehow.

This is awful, I can’t believe Gerrard will ever turn this around.

Ah thanks for that, I don’t need to watch it now. 

I wonder if he has the lottery numbers as well?  

Anybody get the feeling we might be resigning Simon Dawkins?

There’s nothing wrong with the players. This squad could flourish with some half decent coaching.

Dougie at DM I imagine.

odegaard only 23...what an accomplished midfielder

Remember him joining Madrid when he was about 15, people spoke like he’d be the next Messi. Not quite but I’d have loved him here.

Comical.

Not even a yellow.

There’s something about Saka’s tiny pea head that really annoys me.

Really impressive so far, looks like each player knows what he’s doing. Maybe those extra drills worked.

The majority of our players want the ball to feet and want to express themselves, so why do we insist on long balls? Chief culprit is our captain…

We need to change our approach… we have the technical quality…

Chief culprit is our ex captain.

He seems to be great when we’re playing well, and dreadful when we’re not.

I’m out. I’ve seen enough I think.

I'd have preferred Ings to Watkins but excited to see Bailey and Buendia behind a striker. 

 

I would prefer Ings over Watkins generally, but I think we’ll be looking at Ollie for his pace today.

Almost team selection rant time... Let's go!

I see you’ve been here before…

The injury to Couthino may well have saved Gerrard from the sack.

It's been said before a million times, but we are a better team with Buendia in our team.

Night and day in terms of the impact both players' impact today.

And we still managed to almost **** it up. 

I agree, though there simply must be a way to get them both in the team. They should be playing together.

Watkins is dangerous to himself in the final third. If we’re going two up top I’d rather Bailey up with Ings.

Villa being Villa lol

Phil had a decent game, tracked and worked on the ball well. Difficult when he's double-marked. Hope it's not a serious knock. Don't scapegoat him.

This.

Why is Ings marking the front post? That’s 3 clear missed headers now.
