Theres lots of talent in the academys everywhere but what we seem to have at the moment are players that can run games. There are 11 good players but out of them 4 or 5 with very high potential celings. Also do not forget Rangers were interested heavily in Caleb Chukwuemeka before he signed here. I think we need to use them more. These high ceiling players need to show what they can do in games. None have let us down. I think we need to use them because of the need rather than giving them chances. I don’t think we’d lose a lot play JPB instead of El Ghazi, same goes with Chuck and Buendia or Ash when they’re used as CM players. Actually I’d play Chuck as a winger, could do a Grealish there. The sooner we play them the more benefit we’ll get. Look at Ramsey now, he’s been used last season rather than giving chances. We need to make the lack of qualities at certain areas as a strength by playing those. For me, anything apart from a relegation battle will consider this season a success. But if we can get out of it with a good teams and some of the academy prospects fullfiled their potentials, then I think it would be the best thing to happen. Ofcourse apart from some miracle as going to Europe after this start. The last thing we need from Gerrard is to get back to DS when he’s on bad runs, he starts using El Ghazi, Nakamba...etc sometimes even when we’re losing.

He’s probably been on TV more than most players during his time. I’m sure if you spend the next couple of days carrying out your due diligence I’m sure you’ll find plenty of more damning evidence against his appointment. He’s our manager now try to take that onboard and be open to what he might bring. At least let’s watch a few games before we form an opinion. Unless you think mistakes made by a footballer during his playing career indicate he’ll be a poor manager? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched many a time over the years I switched it off after 30 seconds, the music was irritating and the fact that somebody had spent actual time creating this with the perception that it’s ‘really funny’, also pisses me off. Not sure why you’ve felt the need to watch it many times over the years. Whatever anyone thought of Gerrard the player, it doesn’t matter now, he’s our head coach not our captain. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Young, Stilian Petrov and Greal-hiss were all doing this in their time at Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if we’re not at our best we’re pretty average and at worst very poor. That’s pretty true of most teams except the very best squads and even then. It’s vital that we try to always be the best we can be, at every level. Edited November 17, 2021 by DaveAV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I don't think application has been the main problem this season, more like we have not had a settled, balanced side, and now we have no confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're not performing, or in this case not even trying to perform, they need telling. And he isn't actually going to walk on to the pitch is he. I'm sure he'll have handled it privately before it gets to the stage they need calling out in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players in Scotland might be impressed because of his reputation but Premier League players will just ignore him I hope if any of our players take that attitude, they’re quickly moved out of the line up. The money they’re earning I expect them to do as the manager says. Fair enough if he’s going overboard, but giving them a bollocking if they’re not pulling the same as their team mates is to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I expect. If they ignore him they'll find themselves ignored right back all the way to the transfer list I should imagine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
