Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 We are in a rut at the moment and hopefully he can turn things around but if things don't improve between now and the end of the season then the man who should have got the job after Dean Smith in Lucien Favre is still available.

There's definitely a gap between the rhetoric and the actions. It's looking a bit amateur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 2 shots on target vs Newcastle and Watford If this keeps up we better not give him any money next summer unless its a payoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think currently this has feel of Tim Sherwood mark 2. We played well first 4-5 games and had dose of optimism but it's quickly getting worse game by game and dosen't feel like he has knowledge to turn this around. We'll still be o.k but finishing 14th on 38-40 points isn't a job well done at all imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Cost us the game today with his subs …. play was too predictable and lacking In creativity. We ain’t out of this relegation fight yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 This thread is going to be toxic but its not without reason I'm sorry to say. But the people who will say "this has been as bad as anything xxx served up" are right. Our strikers are a mess. We have no idea who to play or how to play them. But we still have enough quality to get better results and performances that we're getting. Gerrard is definitely under pressure now, rightly or wrongly. We have no excuses whatsoever for the recent drop in form. Will we ever get it right at Aston Villa? So much disillusionment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Shit as per usual. The whole spell has been poor and is looking like a huge fraud, Gerrard will pop out some soundbites again though to make sure he sounds good and con people into thinking things are okay. The subs today were mental. Purslow was desperate to get his mate in and this is what we're stuck with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Gerrard not getting much out of these players or his system is concerning this early into his reign. Really awful since coming back from that break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We was all over them for majority of the game but I think his subs actually made us worse offf. I'd never call for a manager to be sacked after such a short period in charge, he has to be given a chance to implement his ways but these past few games been nowhere near good enough and he has to get a grip sooner rather than later. Yet another manager who will end up losing his job if he continues to persist with McGinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rapidly losing faith in Gerrard however, although I also don't think Gerrard is the only problem. The players, barring a couple of exceptions, are a bunch of pathetic, weak losers as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Hasenhuttl would've been a good pick up for us. Southampton are up and down but they're on a nice little run currently and looking good for top 10 finish so rather than just throw another 30-40m at their players I'd rather just get him in as think he'd work well with this squad. Just limping through now until end of season isn't good enough. Endless talk of DMs and fudging that for yet another transfer window isn't a good look but our attacking play was pathetic today so can't pin it all on that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7392craig Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 It’s not clear at all how he wants us to play. We’re back to the CB’s hitting it long again, the middle 3 don’t seem to be part of the game other than being general bodies on the pitch. We’ve got Buendia and Coutinho amongst our front 3 yet they’re having to come back to fight for a touch. We seem to play like an away team every game.

villanmac Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I was surprised when he was all happy and smiles after the Leeds collapse. Didn't scan with his previous comments on high standards. Very disappointed when he went with the flood the field with attackers approach 2nd half today. Just screamed clueless and I have no faith in us being able break Watford down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
