Ratings & Reactions: Crystal Palace v Villa
Shirtman replied to limpid's topic in PL: Crystal Palace a
Absolute rubbish. Apart from first few games, Gerrard's tenure has been poor. Can't see what any of his signings have contributed to the team. Want him and Purslow out. -
What a bitter and twisted old man.
-
Thats quite a definitive statement. I don't think we know if other clubs are interested or not.
-
Yes, 100%
-
Yes, I've felt pretty much the same myself. Last season, so many said our squad was not good enough for the football Gerrard wants to play. Good managers, in all walks of life, get the best out of what's available to them. Scott Parker did that yesterday.
-
We need more physicality and stature in the team. Playing two centre backs that small against a fired up newly promoted side is crazy. Coutinho is his favourite despite so many inept performances. Buendia should start. His treatment of Mings is woeful. Gerrard should look him in the eye and apologise to him.

Its not the squad, its the manager
-
John McGinn was inept as a captain last season when Mings was dropped. Ive liked him but he's not good enough like the manager who loves him so much.
-
I'm amazed when I look back and realise how many clueless people thought Villa were not getting results because dean Smith's players were not good enough. Gerrard is not good enough. Good for Newcastle,They've got the right manager who treats his players with respect. Small minded manager who fills his team with little players of the stature of Christian Purslow
-
I remember him in his first home game last season. He was poor in that. Needs to work harder pre season
-
Bring him back straight away
-
Give Gerrard 3 games. He's had it all his own way so far with transfers etc. Great player/ big ego/ unproven manager
-
Does anyone know when we're likely to receive the season tickets in the post? Thanks
-
John McGinn brilliant. Matty Cash not as good as he has been. Fantastic block by Tyrone
-
oh dear. When you're in a hole, keep digging
-
Positives, in first half. Just unlucky and poor finishing. Wouldn't blame Gerrard for this one, although Conte's sky interview made me think about leadership. He said that he assesses the talent he has and builds a team around it. Gerrard seems to have a system and wants to coerce our players into it whatever their qualities.
-
Oh yeah, If your name is Stevie G, loved by the most infantile Villa fans, you get that amount of time... I think Eddie Howe has shown that premiership experience, equanimity and dignity counts far more than Stevie G's inconsistency and blaming the players. ... but he's sold his soul to the Saudis. Suspect Stevie's biggest fans haven't noticed that.
-
Has been my favourite player for most of he last few years. But love Villa more than Gerrard and Mcginn.... Thought he was intelligent, sublime and driven. But realise now he's not good enough. Created more chances for the opposition this season than for us. Overweight and incapable of combining an international career with the rigours of the premier league.
-
Agree
-
Nice bloke but not good enough
-
I agree with you largely. The question is, and genuinely a question, is Gerrard capable of assembling a squad of better players?
-
Moi aussi
-
I've leant that we trust Gerrard too much
-
He gets too much love based on his reputation as a player
-
Agree, not sure that we're strong enough to afford luxury of a player like Coutinho
