His main attribute is that he can magic something out of nothing, but he needs to be more consistent throughout the 90 mins and offer a bit more defensively. But I agree he's been one of our better players. Martinez has had some absolute howlers this season by his standards. Mings, Kamara and Luiz have been very good so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check around 1:40 mark. He was asked if sometimes players need to step up, as they can tend to hide behind the Manager . He sighed and then said " The important thing, is the players actually DID what the Manager asked today " Now I know we give SG stick, but is this sort of a tell that they haven't really been doing it otherwise? Doesn't take anything away from SGs flaws obviously, but I think SG also mentioned the same thing in one of his post match earlier!

Mings, Kamara and Luiz have been very good so far. Martinez's levels have dropped, but he has also pulled off big saves in most games. It's a bit like Bailey - a mix of moments of brilliance, and some absolute shite. I don't think anyone really stands out so far because the team has been collectively so poor. But yeah, Bailey, Martinez, Mings, Kamara, Luiz are the ones you'd fancy to start every game, and then everyone else is fighting for the shirt as I see it. Watkins has probably squeezed into that group now as well. What makes Bailey key is we don't really have anyone else like him. Definitely a special player, but needs to bring that extra level of hussle and consistency to his game over 90 mins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In practice they gave the players specific things to do and look out for but they failed to do them during the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't take anything away from SGs flaws obviously, but I think SG also mentioned the same thing in one of his post match earlier! Could mean a few things. 1) SG has asked them to play a certain way, some haven't agreed with those bollocks tactics and have been trying to do their own thing, but today he changed the tactics and players finally agreed. 2) Players wanted SG sacked but learned from above that's not happening, so gave it their all yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I think the sigh was probably because he didn't want to get sucked into talking about the manager's future, which is why he emphasized that the players are at the very least executing what he's telling them to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players often repeat what the manager says, as that's the message they receive in the dressing room after the game from him. Gerrard himself said in his interview that the players followed instructions today. It's probably just an extension of that with Bailey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ings or Archer. I am genuinely excited about what Bailey could become though, I think he's got a load of talent and it's a huge season for him.
