Obviously got into Wright's head as well, unbelievable how a winner like Martinez **** people up.

I like Gerrard and hope he does well.......Smith produced some of the greatest villa games I have seen in the last 10 years. I hope Gerrard can continue and improve the great work he did.

If we sign him my guess is Luiz will be benched. His contract situation doesn't help matters, we have to plan for life without him, the £20m we will get should help offset some of the rumoured £50m fee.

During the EUROs jack's appeal was huge, his potential as an English player was/is unparalleled, he could have gone on to Gazza type hype if he had stayed with us rather than join the plastic win everything machine. John McGinn should be kept unless the fee is well over £50m , if we let him go the message it sends to the other players is damaging, It's taken Coutinho to sign for us to start to repair the damage Jack doing one did .

It was jack's profile they wanted , he was attracting to much attention to us as a club. It would have started to attract new fans as he grew as a player. The media profile of a club is very important, we have replaced Jack with Courtinho on that front, it's not quite as good for our media profile but it may work out better on the pitch.

Dalian Atkinson, rip , against Tranmere in front of the Holte end in the 88th minute.

Looks a right handful, hopefully he will start to score soon, if he can get that in his game then he's one hell of a player. Good fit for Forest as well, hopefully he can help them compete for the playoffs, would love to see them back at the top .

Drop Ings for the next game, hes not involved enough

He's doing ok but you can't say that performance was better than the away game at Manu in the premier with Smith at the helm, it wasn't. Unless your blind to football........ Now Gerrard has a plan to take us forward and I'm looking forward to it but let's stop trying to dismiss what Smith did within Gerrard first few games, let's give him time and judge then , if he can improve us as much as Smith did over his reign then we should be winning the league within 3 seasons , I would accept top 6.

No matter how good or bad he plays his contract situation means he has to be sold this summer, it's abvious hes not going to re sign for us as thing stand.

We need more of these type players in our team, their will to succeed forces the emotion. Its what we miss imo, a few of these players driving the others in a Roy Keane style temperament.Wpuld love to see it in Ming's , Dougie and a few more as well.

Ollie for me as well, Ings can come on if Ollies injured or needs a rest.

Ings?

Our attack looks lost tbh , not sure if it's playing Ings and Ollie together but whatever, it's very frustrating. We have some great possession in dangerous areas but then the options disappear as we approach the final third. The defense is still the same, looks a little shaky at times and doesn't look comfortable in possession, Ming's and Konsa/ Hause tend to linger on the ball looking for options , this needs to be cut out ..players need to show for the ball more once we have it at the back.

Can someone explain why Ings isn't being slated, for all the effort Ollie put in he kept going despite it not working out for him, Ings didn't seem to get involved at all.

He's a good player , considering he's hardly played for us I think he showed enough to be in consideration for the next match.

Work in progress.

Forget the individual errors the system we are playing isn't working , Man U have sussed it and set up for it and we look clueless , we need to change it. Looking around the score at the performance and we look lost in attack , e get the ball but Man U are just crowding us out , we have some width on the left but nothing on the right , Beundia should play out in the right pull Ings and Ollie in the middle and courtinio on the left .

Same defensive weaknesses but we now have no threat up front. Even if we score you just know we won't see it through and man U look more likely to score. Not sure what's going on on but we appear to be getting worse by each game .

We need to change how we are set up , they have so much space were gonna get thumped

This is the worst I have seen us play this season, it's disgraceful.

Jesus we look clueless

I'm not a royalist, far from it tbh, but this picture sums it up for me. Thousands of people sat on their own a funerals, others died on their own in hospitals up and down the country. Boris and his party set the laws for us while disregarding themselves, proud to be British? I'm not with him at the helm. Go!
