Zatman Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I dont think we will go down but if we are within 5 points of the relegation zone in May then Gerrard, Purslow, Beale etc should be banned from Football again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have a chance of going down, as you are suggesting, then surely they do. They have the same win/loss record as we do over the last six games but you haven’t included them?

Chelsea we had I think 1 shot on goal vs a Chelsea team out of form United we were ok when we went 2 nil down, we did nothing before If you want to bury your head in the sand and think Gerrard is a good manager then fair enough. I expected better from somebody who tore McLeish apart weekly but had a better win record and trophy cabinet in Scotland Lol what? This seems like some sort of bizarre personal vendetta now. I'm not even defending Gerrard, just pointing out that the last 2/3 games have clearly marked a significant worsening in our performances. Don't really know how anybody can dispute this, regardless of where you stand on Gerrard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a recent trend its since the new manager bounce disappeared hence the Sherwood comparisons actually think Sherwood has a similar win record Gerrard on the whole has been an average to poor appointment with the stats downgrading. If Newcastle appointed him we would be laughing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Newcastle appointed him we would be laughing I wasn't making an argument about Gerrard though (there's already a thread for that), I was making a point about how our performances have significantly dropped since the Leeds game.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I dont know why people are so sure this or that will happen. People love a prediction with a bit of authority in their voices dont they? The title was wrapped up 4 weeks ago, relegation was decided, it was impossible for Man Utd to get top 4. 4 weeks later, now look at that table. Football is crazy and anything can happen. Especially with 14 games to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted February 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) The real worry is seeing good players now playing very badly. To see Ollie , Cash, Konsa, Dougie , Ings, Coutinho, Digne and even Martinez wobble is very worrying. These are good players , they should be more affective but they look lost.

dubliner Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I don't see us being dragged into it at all as I'm hoping performances will improve. On current form though you certainly can't rule out ourselves or Leicester having a fight on our hands. Gerrard will turn things around though I'm confident of it. And once he does he can properly judged next season once he's had a full summer to prepare/bring in more of his own players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know right and Palace are now presumably safe with their win last night? Even though we go back above them with a win on Saturday. But you can guarantee this thread would still rumble on for months at various times even if we won on Saturday. This thread is mainly the same people trolling and people biting. We're generally a mid table side. In the world of villa talk us being 10th to 14th is us in a relegation battle and us being 7th to 10th is us on the verge of conquering europe. Everything's extreme nowadays. If we lose to Brighton sack Gerrard etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
