He's signed one former Liverpool player who coincidentally is our best player. I hope he signs more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd comment given the only "Liverpool mate" we've signed so far has been universally acclaimed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not anti-smith, far from it. But I’m not going to pretend everything was great when it wasn’t. For the last weeks I’ve thought Gerrard has deserved a full pre season because of the position we were in when they joined and how we’ve had some promising results. I’m now on the fence, should he be doing more or are the players the problem. Why can’t we perform for 90 minutes. If we have a disaster end to the season I wouldn’t be against them being sacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does any manager ever get sacked then ? If we are lose game after game no matter who the manager then I agree no point..... But there are better head coaches out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Whoever the manager is nothing seems to change. I actually can't explain why we continue to be awful. Is it a mental thing. A losers mentality that exists in the whole club? Genuinely it's confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I don't think he's got a clue what he's doing. Some of our better more attacking players on the bench, playing this narrow 433 suppose to make us more compact and solid yet we look more open than under Smith. Our squad is good, should we dismantle it and let him build his own? I don't think so. Should have got a manager in who knew how to use these players and then fine tune/improve it. Sounds like Gerrard will change a load of them and also bring in older ones, while the likes of Carney want out and I doubt Buendia, our record signing, isn't impressed at being benched. Can't see this ending well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No good moving the ball at a pedestrian pace, it needs to be faster as that what separated the first and second half today, we played the first half at the right tempo, we didn’t come out second It’s the players. We don’t have the right characters. Mindset is all wrong for many of them, majority of them don’t want to really improve or be the best that they can be. Once this changes then we will see some proper results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably both, problem is they are both Gerrard’s problem because if he isn’t good enough he won’t last and if he can’t coach better performances out of players underperforming he won’t last. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CVByrne Posted April 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2022 Wrong appointment as we can tell. Has basically destroyed any team confidence or unity by saying he'll replace everyone. Was 100% in his corner before today. Now he needs to be got rid of.

VillaAlex Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I get a sense of irony about a manager who wants to sign players who are first team ready at the summer, which would run risk of us signing players past their sell by date on high wages. Why not just try find a manager who is ready for this league instead as Gerrard clearly isn't. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 It is becoming very difficult to watch us under Gerrard. I think we have some decent quality in possession with creative build-up and spells of probing with the ball. However, that all gets undone by some Sunday league standard defending. We are so damn pedestrian too many times. We are in need of a serious rebuild, and it’s getting harder and harder to argue that I completely trust the current regime to do it successfully. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
