Our next 10 league games taking us to the ⅓ of the season stage:
West Ham (H) - 1pt
Arsenal (A) - 0pts
Man City (H) - 0pts
Leicester (A) - 1pt
Southampton (H) - 3pts
Leeds (A) - 1pt
Forest (A) - 1pt
Chelsea (H) - 0pts
Fulham (A) - 1pt
Brentford (H) - 3pts
Total = 11pts
So 14 pts after 13 games and the way we are playing under our clown of a manager I think I have been generous with my predicted points.
I never wanted him here and have criticised him from the off. I was ridiculed for wanting him sacked at the end of last season and now I and many others have been proved right. Too many fans have blind faith and can't see what is going on under their noses. The same fans that supported McLeish, Lambert, Bruce, Smith etc. until it became as plain as the nose on their face that they were shit. No more British managers!
I'm not prepared to give Slippy G a free pass for the rest of the season just because Diego Carlos is injured. Quality teams just carry on regardless. Anything lower than European qualification is total failure in my opinion.
We have just played two of the poorest teams in the division and we have 3 points and a -1 goal difference. With Diego Carlos injured we are only one starting player different (Kamara) to the team that finished a pathetic 14th last season. Don't get ahead of yourselves guys!
No more British managers! They are so far behind continental managers. Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Man Utd (the regular top six) all have foreign managers and that is why they are at the top.
Gerrard buys the players, selects the team and chooses the tactics yet when it all goes pear shaped (2 wins in 12) he throws his players under the bus! Time for him to go before our season is ruined!
Along with Bournemouth, Southampton & Forest, Everton are one of the weakest sides in the league. Anything other than a Villa win next weekend should see Gerrard picking up his P45!
With all the money spent we need to be finishing several places higher than Smith's 11th place finish of two seasons ago otherwise Gerrard will have failed.
Do you or don't you admit that Gerrard got it wrong? Man City only had 1 shot on target before he made the changes then after the changes they had 3 more and scored every one. If that's not poor in game management by Gerrard then I don't know what is. Villa will never achieve anything as long as they keep going down the route of appointing British managers, they are bang average at best!
So you think he made a good decision bringing on Nakamba & Young and sacrificing our attacking threat leading to us sitting back and conceeding 3 goals in under 10 minutes?
