pacbuddies Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Our dumbass owners are likely to sack Gerrard and appoint Scott Parker or the guy that got sacked at Dundee Utd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bloke is in denial and shown zero evidence that he will turn this around. It's hilarious that he's claiming the reason we lost is because of an unlucky deflection but at the same time continues to ignore the fact were tactically inept, poorly coached and have zero threat in front of goal. Under 1 xG in 4 successive games now against teams we should be beating but it's ok guys relax we lost because of an unlucky deflection. Enough is enough we have had it with the lame duck excuses and even more so the poor standard of football on show given the fact that the club has hiked ticket prices this season with the square root of f**k all to show for it.

I hate them all equally. We are in a spot of bother, and while throwing out Gerrard might be part of the solution, we cannot see it as the totality of. I'm sorry you got called things just for having an opinion, that's not cool. It's clear that Gerrard is not going to be part of the solution, is Purslow going to be? I think that is open to some debate. I feel a bit for Lange, he's the Sporting Director and should be overseeing everything on the football side of things, but I think it's clear Purslow took over the recruitment process for appointing Gerrard, and Gerrard has been allowed to dictate transfer policy over him. He's not been in control. Maybe he should be stronger? Or maybe he's had no option but to accept it? I don't know but it should be reviewed, as should pretty much everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Although I should be doing work ) We both know in our heart of hearts that Leon will be sent on in the 75th minute when 2-0 down and expected to turn the game around single-handedly while receiving the ball surrounded by Arsenal players and the nearest Villa player 20 yards away. Gerrard will then bemoan the lack of creative spark from the players on the pitch in his post-match interview. On the not knowing what to do with yourself, if it's villa-related, maybe just tune out until the match tomorrow. Get away from the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no fecking sense, has bothered me since Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't judge him because he didn't have a midfield enforcer. Smith, judge away. Gerrard, can't judge him because he hasn't got the players.

PussEKatt Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Im behind SG all the way.Its the players that have let him down,so far.I mean Archer came on when we were 0-1 down with 30seconds to go and let Steve down by not scoring 2 goals for a Villa win.As for Bailey,he had 14 minutes FFS,and did he score ?......No.He let Steve down as well.We need players that will stand up and be counted,I mean Bailey and Archer had 14 1/2 minutes between them and could not even score once. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard, for all the good interviews and media portrayal is now starting to come across as not only ignorant but stupid as well. He said something similar after Palace. It shows his intent really. He just wants to keep it tight and nick games. When games are level or even down just 1 goal, it's "still in the balance". How is it in the balance if the other team are controlling the game and creating chances? Seems like the balance is tipped in favour of them, no? If you don't take control of the game, how do you expect the balance to tip in your favour? He doesn't. It's all chance to him. If I have better players, and the luck goes my way, I can win this. It's actually kind of funny how he's basically Steve Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why he has fallen out with Mings I suspect; Gerrard probably feels threatened by his superior intellect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, transfers are a totally different proposition to Football matches and team etc. That's down to the whole club, not just him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) This "different approach" usually the death knell of managers. Similar to when Dean decided to start employing the 352, which worked once against a poor United side, and then trounced over and over. There's a tiny list of managers who change their philosophies and style of play mid-season and end up being successful. The Vecna clock just ticking louder and louder.

Whilst I agree with what you're saying - it is usually the death knell for managers - at least he is trying something different. He can't win either way. If he sticks with his system - he gets pasted for being stubborn and not seeking to utilise his players properly. If he prepares a different approach - he gets pasted for being rash and desperate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the “send out all the strikers” moment against Southampton as a different approach lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
