Don_Simon Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Hes cancelled the Liverpool friendly. Get every single **** on that training pitch and work on breaking teams down who sit deep. In fact, at 2243 on a Saturday night, they should be doing that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need to see if anyone deserves a spot. Everyone that didn't start today deserves a spot. Cancelling the friendly is a bit weird though, could have picked the team he wants to start the Everton game to get them some match fitness.

They probably will get there though, in time. He took a team that was floundering and relegation certainties and turned them round in half a season. Winning habits are built on solid foundations like defensive shape, resilience, organisation and team work. I am yet to see any of that at Villa, we have the spine of a jelly fish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was disgustingly weak in every aspect...again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it’s bad that they are in the same ballpark but Sherwood’s time was still worse. You're right to highlight that Sherwood is slightly behind, but when you compare the state of the clubs they inherited...Sherwood had the likes of Cleverley, N'Zogbia, Clark and Bacuna playing for him. And we're doing....Very slightly better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Does anyone thing hes lost or losing the Dressing Room??? With his treatment of Carney, Guilbert, Traore and El Ghazi sending them to train with the u21's With his treatment of Mings. With Coutinho and Mcginn being guaranteed starters Buendia cant be happy. Maybe there is a split in the dressing room, or a bad atmosphere. Maybe its team Mings vs Team Mcginn/Coutinho and Gerrard 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 It's fine that the Gerrard project isn't at full speed yet, as it takes time to build a team. But what we should be seeing are some shoots of progress towards the end result. Even the most staunch Gerrard supporter surely can't pretend there has been any improvement since he came in. He has brought in good players but it's made no difference... the same play, same mistakes and same results. The manager is the common denominator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macandally Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 For me he is on borrowed time, he has had pretty much free reign on his Assistants, signings and style of play, with a full pre-season to implement it. The issue is none of it is working. His interviews now are hollow and repetitive, it’s great that he can tell us what the problem is, the problem is he is being paid handsomely to fix them! I cannot see the identity he describes, it simply isn’t there and he continues to show a complete inability to find a team, formation and approach that is defensively solid as a base to play from. Every player is getting worse, bar Bailey who struggled for fitness last year. He continues to pick not on form, but on favouritism. Our most fluid displays in pre-season were with Sanson on the pitch, he didn’t even make the bench. The players simply are not playing for him. I am going to predict we will get nothing from our first five games and then we have a real problem to address. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirtman Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I'm amazed when I look back and realise how many clueless people thought Villa were not getting results because dean Smith's players were not good enough. Gerrard is not good enough. Good for Newcastle,They've got the right manager who treats his players with respect. Small minded manager who fills his team with little players of the stature of Christian Purslow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a player like Digne, who is a class act, looks shit under Gerrard. They seem to be playing bereft of any confidence or clear idea of what we are trying to achieve.

Keyblade Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Like what other tools does he need to get us to playing something close to coherent football? We gave him pretty much everything he needs to succeed. We went and got him almost half a dozen senior guys on over 100k/week with CL experience, gave him the backroom team he wants. We have top notch facilities, an academy with a bevy of talented youngsters he can blood into the squad. After almost 30 games, what else can you need? When do you hold your hands up and say you're not cut out for this? 60 games? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
