By picking a balanced obvious lineup?

4-2-1-3 according to Gregg

4-4-f***ing 2

You see, here’s your problem.

Even the powers that be had enough of watching Gerrardball.

Before midnight preferably

Anybody at the game reading this, get a creative chant of “walk back to Liverpool” going to the tune of you’ll never walk alone please. Might as well completely rip the piss out of him now.

What’s the problem though? It is a short list after all.

5000 votes and 24% for “give Gerrard time”. I didn’t realise @TRO had almost 1000 twitter burner accounts.

FTFY

Alright Rafa, relax.

I know that 9 games doesn’t represent a season, but to be told that failure to meet the continuous progression goal of the club was the reason that Dean was (rightly) dismissed, but then to keep Gerrard is wrong. He’s here nearly a year now and we have in no way progressed. What’s the basis for keeping him? Fleeting gallant defeats against the top 6? We had more success against the top 6 with Dean at the helm. There are very clear differences between him and Arteta. I’ve laid them out before, but essentially Arteta sees it as his job to create scenarios where goalscoring chances are created. Based on Gerrard‘s comments and the fact that he only changes his front 3 from game to game, it’s clear to me that he sees it as the players‘ responsibility. How many times have we heard “we were just missing that creative spark” or “we just couldn’t find a way through” or my personal favourite (I think he only said it once though) “we were just throwing subs at it at the end in order to create something”. I think that there is enough evidence to say at the moment he’s not good enough. I’m not going to stubbornly stick to this opinion if he turns it around and I was never against him no matter what from the start. If this was our first season up from the championship and we were performing like this I’d be delighted. It’s not and we’ve not had continuous progression for about a season and a half now. It’s time to give a manager/head coach who is proven at a higher level than 16th in the PL the job, provided we can get one.

Never has a sentence passed better to a username than this, because you must be smoking some funky stuff to come up with this.

I do hope that you’re right.

My point was, one game doesn’t make a season. There’s more than enough evidence that suggests Gerrard is just not good enough. Maybe he will be but right now he’s not. Therefore, I think he should just be relieved of his duties.

There was also nothing wrong when Daniel Farke pitched himself against Pep in September 2019. Norwich won 3-2. Where did Norwich end the 19/20 season?

Just out of interest, from where to where?

Well, I suppose Emery has a body of work behind him like never losing a semi final of a competition up until last season’s CL where he brought Villareal (a team who shouldn’t be there) to the semi final. That was also in addition to impressive spells in charge of a number of clubs prior to that. Gerrard has well, none of that. A league win in Scotland and his time here. I know who I’d rather here.

Just get rid of him. He’s just not good enough. He might well turn out to be (I highly doubt it), but for the stated goals of the club, he’s just not good enough at this moment. It was a mistake hiring him. Sometimes it’s better to admit that you f***ed up. I think it’s going to take a bit longer though barring a few hammerings.

He’s got a club now. Looks like Nyland will be playing CL football. That’s something I never thought I’d say .

Wait until they find out that he has a secret bellybutton piercing.

According to the German papers yesterday, he’s getting a Haas contract extension. It’s going to be announced at the US GP in 2 weeks.

Professional football clubs ceased to be “football clubs” a long time ago. It’s all business now. Continuous growth, profit/loss, engagement with stakeholders and other corporate waffle. Results on a football pitch are just a part of it these days.
