  1. At this point it shouldn't matter who triggered the decision to relieve Gerrard of his duties or who broke the news. It doesn't matter either in the manner it as done. What matters is that action was taken and today a redemption of sorts came to fruition. That's all that really matters right now. We move on and hopefully upwards.
  2. I'm wondering how our toxic fans came across on TV today because it was pretty radio active in the ground today. I saw at least 3 people with their eyes popping out when the 3rd goal went in. Scared me to be honest.
  3. Playing both him and Watkins gave us the natural width missing for so long. If they'd played opposite sides and inverted, we probably wouldn't have had the width which works so well for us today. Masterclass or common sense it worked well.
  4. I think he'll score 2 or 3 more before the seasons out. He's becoming much more dangerous in the final third getting into shooting positions. I love him. F*** the haters.
  5. He was brilliant today. A real captains performance. I watched him during a break in play on the half hour mark go over to Emi and Leon to gee them up. Simply excellent in every facet. I deserve a slap tbh as I was unsure about him staying and he's proved me seriously wrong this season. Better than last season, so far imo.
  6. Another player that found his old self today. Some of his link up play with Leon, Emi and Ollie was sublime.
  7. Digne shouldn't be getting back in the side.
  8. My MOTM just shading Luiz. He was simply everywhere today pulling strings like a puppet master. Brilliant.
  9. Simply immense and did everything but score. I've liked him since day dot and see a great player in him. So pleased we got him on a new deal.
  10. There are a few posters on here that should be sucking his toes right now after the shit he's received.
  11. Chuffed for him because that was weighing heavily on him.
  12. What a great message to send to any prospective manager. Haven't had a grin like that leaving VP for a while. UTV
  13. Looks like Russia are doing a good job of attacking themselves..
  14. Take the f****** shackles off them today. I want to see movement, attacking runs from midfield, WIDTH, and most important of all, some fight in the players to turn the corner.
  15. Poch had gone well off the boil at spuds. The fans forget how quickly they wanted him gone when it all went south. I'd be surprised if Poch went back to spuds because as most clubs find out, part 2 is generally never as good as part one when it comes to manager returns. We've seen it ourselves first hand.
  16. You're not a Villa fan are you? I should've realised from the name but the bollocks above exposed you tbh.
  17. Every foreign manager had no PL managerial experience until they took their first job in the PL. Pep, Klopp, Poch, Mourinho..... etc etc... You can keep going through every foreign manager. It's a silly way of assessing compatibility expecting every applicant to have PL experience. Before you know it your back to square one hiring a Steve Bruce type. Whats the point in that.
  18. The strategy him and his mates failed to implement. I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole considering we were just as shit when he was coaching the side.
  19. I think it's bollocks. I mean, security having to climb through the ceiling to get into the changing room ffs. If it had kicked off to that level they wouldn't have all travelled back on the coach together.
  20. Why? Because I see no reason to pay Rafa Benitez a fortune to come here until the end of the season and then have the same problem or one even worse at the end of it? We are not going to hire an interim manager for a season with 3 quarters still to play. Adopt a completely different set of tactics, system etc to then rip it all up again next year for a new manager.
  21. Personally, I think it's as good a time as you're going to get for any manager to bed in mid season. A few weeks and several games assessment before the WC and then a window to tweak following the break. It's never going to be perfect during the season but a change now allows further changes if necessary. It's a little like the covid break that first season with the WC and should allow us a proper reset.
