Looks like project rebuild all over again? Difference is the players we’re clearing are saleable assets now. We could easily raise around £200m but yeah, getting the right replacements is the hard bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have reverted to using Mings as a playmaker. Having a style of play doesn't make you a good team and they're below us in the table. Not for me, ta.

Tayls Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I’m not sure if we’d stick with Gerrard in the championship or whether we’d have to revert back to type and get someone who has ‘experience’ of getting out of that league. Will be a tough decision to make. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to at least give him as much of next season as possible. Edited February 13, 2022 by jacketspuds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of them and bank proper money too. It's a good position to be in because those 3 players are the problem at this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i agree that Luiz, McGinn, Watkins are not doing well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 5 points in 4 games is okish form, but I thought we had got some momentum with the united draw and everton win. The winter break seemed to have come at the wrong time and we have expected at least one win the last 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McGinn goes to United, Cash to Atletico, Watkins to Arsenal etc. I think it’s fair to say they were good enough for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 He needs to have the balls to drop some players, our midfield is too easy to dominate. Gerrard needs time but it's same old Villa again isn't it, lose games we are expecting to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 17 minutes ago, Spoony said: I should probably say that despite personally being on a massive downer about Gerrard and the way we play, I’m very happy to give him all of next season to see what we can do. I’m not encouraged by what I see. Having said that, I’d replace Cash, Mings, Konsa, Douglas Luiz, McGinn and Watkins. It’s basically an admission that 50% of our team isn’t good enough. I need to see some performances for me to be comfortable with that. Outside of some excellent, backs to the wall early wins, we've been poor under him. It's probably going to happen anyway, but I'll be very concerned if not much changes and we end the season like this. Where's the evidence we won't be in a relegation battle.

R.Bear Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 This is why I really like Gerrard. He handles himself so well in interviews and you really feel he knows what to do. Obviously its about results and the results have been patchy but they were always going to be this season. I expected nothing more than a mid table finish when he was appointed and I think thats where we'll comfortably finish. I'm genuinely dumbfounded by the negativity in here and it reeks of entitlement and short memories. We have been an absolute joke for most of the the last decade, just because we have money, doesnt mean its an easy turnaround. We should have got relegated in our first season back and we're heading for it again when Smith was sacked. I think next season we'll be a force. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV82 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 First real drop in form. Let’s see how we react against Watford. I’m expecting big changes both in the lineup and the performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester haven't had an upheaval or big change to deal with and you'd think that if Brodgers was decent, he'd have them comfortably higher than us at least.
