Only a few weeks until we find out I suppose. depends what you mean, by "Bracket".....Ron won the league, Steve has it all to do. certain traits yes. but Ron had more time to prove himself than Steve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't hinge everything on playing Bournemouth way. Tactics Tim won his first game of the season and we thought it would be a cracking year. 38 games and 2 wins later it wasn't.

To some Gerrard is a shit manager and the wrong man for the job so as soon as we lose our first game they can be vocal about it. Hopefully that’s not in August although that’s probably being overly optimistic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident right now we will have too much for Bournemouth , and even if we don't Everton the following week is 3pts from God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will simply be because we have signed " better players " First question I'm sure has been done to death. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not Gerrard’s biggest fan but even then going away to a newly promoted team as an opening feature is never easy. Might look good on paper but getting three points would be well done at this stage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Hope that after a full preseason we'll see November-January Aston Villa again. Still holding out hope that it wasn't a fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
