rodders0223 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Gerrard tried to destroy this man's career and I stand by that. Plenty of games he should have been given a chance or came off the bench. Gerrard actively went out of his way at times not to give him even junk minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ender4 Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 But then a new manager comes in… the one he wanted, Unai Emery… and instead of going for it to make up lost time, he tells the manager that him and Villa are over because something is wrong at the club. Hmmm. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantholtgolazo Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 he may or may not have had the ability to play in the league, he certainly doesn't have the mentality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. How long had he been here? 2 years, 2 and a half? He needed to play football. The Villa journey was over. That's not sulking or giving up. He could not afford not to play every week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPJCB Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I’m not defending Gerrard by any means but sanson’s first year with the club coincided with smith and he did barely anything in that time. And as others have pointed out, he could have stayed with Emery but decided not to. Theres plenty of other players who have more of a right to complain about Gerrard- mings, Luiz, Buendia to name a couple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Morgan actually said before that was that he was injured for 9 of the first 12 months when we signed him. He had Covid twice. Had other injuries. Nothing was working for him. Things went very wrong with Gerrard. He had enough by the time Unai arrived. So, he wanted to leave. Can anyone really blame him? I hate how these Twitter types take these quotes out of context to make it look like he had a bad attitude.

The Gerrard appointment made most of our assets appear worthless, imagine the money we'd have recovered for Bailey if Stevie had stayed... The only player that hasn't improved markedly since his departure is Cash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only player that hasn't improved markedly since his departure is Cash. The more I reflect and look back, it’s very clear that if you weren’t a favourite of his, Gerrard utterly ruined your confidence. This is especially true as McGinn recently told Amazon Sport that when Unai arrived, there was a huge cloud of negativity at the club. Little confidence. Unai had worked wonders to restore that. But, like Morgan and others, after all that, no matter how elite Unai is, you want to get away. Totally reasonable in my books. Nothing from those quotes he gave tells me he’s got a bad attitude. That's on Gerrard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
