  1. Gerrard to bring Tammy back to the Premier, just you watch Do think we need that left back competition, also need another CB who's a tough gun. Midfield still has to be sorted I think and need a couple of new signings there. Up front I think we're fine as our frontal players just need to find that killer instinct.
  2. That is correct, eating in moderation all these fast foods is the way. Just pop in to a local takeaway once in a blue moon. I must be honest when I go takeaway it's usually Greek foods, a curry or chicken burger round the corner. It's even harder now since I tested positive for covid, got over all the symptoms apart from my breathing, have coughing fits just moving between the rooms so I can't do anything so takeaway at moment is easy option. I do miss cooking my own foods... Footballers get home late no doubt its a pain in the ass to go cook something healthy. Some may have family who have meals at the ready. Cheap food tastes the best but it's certainly not the way to go. I once did a noodle diet for a year and half when I were 21 when I were fit, just cheap netto packets of noodles that cost like 7p a packet. It really did help me out although I wouldn't of been getting all the dietary needs in my body, I felt fine and fit as a fiddle. Even being asthmatic being fitter and watching what I ate really did help when I played in the charity leagues that I helped set up. Footballers at the top of there game should be very determined to be the healthiest they possibly can. Controlling yourself and being strong willed is a tough task these days with all the things in your face advertised. Advertising I believe is certainly one of the problems causing us all to eat this crap. I'm certainly please Gerrard is getting some control at least because if its a banned at the ground, then players are limited to where they can eat junk food.
  3. It's a slippery slope... tastes good, feels good when you drink one especially energy drinks with all the flavours they have today. Seriously yes your right, professionals should know they are at the top in the no1 league in the world and they should not be having these now illegal soft drinks at aston villa.
  4. Love this, shows he's got a grip and influence on the dietary and eating conditions. I myself feel much better since I stamped out fizzy drinks, used to drink a bottle a day, all that sugar is no good. Gerrard will have high standards, even from his playing career he had those standards. All the managers who influenced him will of certainly moulded Gerrard to be the high standards guy he is now. Think Mcormack would be in serious trouble if he were still here with all those bans
  5. Wasn't Nakambas pass rate like 96% at Brighton, that's some doing that is..
  6. I thought Brighton players passed out... Brighton were tough to break down and got caught on counter and all that energy Brighton players spent, Watkins goes and scores and players just ragdolled to the floor. I honestly thought medical teams may be needed the way they dropped.
  7. Yes he was very hands on and vocal throughout most of the game. When the camera was on him at least he was always busy issueing orders and making sure the players got his messages. I think when it comes to Liverpool, he will cherish the challenge and want to beat the pool. His passion is winning and beating klopp and his old club would be amazing for Gerrard. Whatever you think of Gerrard he was an amazing talent and it seems he's going to Carry it on in management. We just have to enjoy the time we have with Jim and hope his work pays off and he takes us to Europe someday, I certainly think he's got it in him to get us there.
  8. Ings works best in crowded boxes and the ball is being shuffled around in mad defensive rushes. we are not pushing the ball into those situations where ings snipes balls, he's a stealer, a complete thief and you have to make those types of mad scrambles happen where Ings just comes in and makes things happen. I think we're using him wrong or at most not pinging frantic balls into overcrowded boxes.
  9. Yeah lol my new phone and it somehow just switched it to Ramsey thread lol
  10. Steven Gerrard thanks for the win but your still a rocket polisher It's crazy how we used to give him so much grief and now he's here Coaching and managing Villa. It used to hurt bad when Gerrard scored against us, but now I can look at it with ease. I think Gerrard will do very good here and if he does manage to be the man to take us to Europe once more, then he'd deserve all the praise he earns. I did like how he said we will do it one step at a time and there's no mission at the moment apart from making this team solid and go from there. I like how Gerrard talks to the media, he comes across as someone who speak his mind, tells the truth and doesn't bullcrap around.
  11. Yeah writing this guy off is absolutely bonkers. He's an amazing talent and when he's on and can pull his magic off, you don't miss Grealish one bit. I think Bailey needs to just get over the injuries he picks up, get more fitter and take on Gerrards ideas and incorporate them on the pitch. He will come good no doubt about that.
  12. Gerrard said he didn't want a wicked reception, he said he just wanted to come out and get the game done. I have to admire him for the way he wanted that part of the game to be played and our fans were equally resectful of his ask. Imagine if Villapark had gone all in and made Gerrard to be a titan and then he got something wrong tactically because of the pressure, I preferred it the way it were especially if it brings us wins. I also honestly felt it were best when the goals came and how much stored energy the fans had saved up all game, they got to see from Gerrard as he couldn't contain himself any longer, was all timed to perfection.
  13. It's certainly very positive.. I am looking forward to Palace now and see how Gerrard and his team bring this style of play on with hopefully more success seen from the likes of Buendia.
