Wurzel Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I'm a simple man, but surely the only way for Gerrard to save his job is to stop repeating the mistakes of the past because there lies madness. He needs to change his ideology to suite the current players at the club and start by utilising all our midfielders correctly, because football games are won and lost in midfield. it is that simple. He had a system, it worked in a shitty league, but in the big boys league it doesn't. So swollow your pride, and change your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Caught a bit of that press conference, the bloke is bloody deluded comparing this start with Arsenal last season, at least you could see what they was trying to play, our tactics are pathetic, can’t wait till he’s gone hopefully come Saturday evening he’s gone 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Got a feeling he'll be gone after the Man City game, especially if it's a drumming. He is talking like a sleep walking Lambert when his days were finally numbered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacked after just 10 games and no-one regrets it (except maybe Nuno). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have played Bournemouth, Everton, Crystal Palace and West Ham. It is like comparing apples and oranges. Arsenal starts was only a little bit below what could be expected, our start have been a disaster. Gerrard is clearly just looking for excuses, valid or not.

ciggiesnbeer Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Feels like we are going through the motions. As he has been given another game by Purslow then naturally I hope we win and Gerrard turns it around, but I have zero belief that will occur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get humiliated against Arsenal, it may well be the time… away fans will turn and the pressure will be on… Going to be under severe pressure against City and they will take full advantage… I fear it’s going to get really ugly and unpleasant unless we take decisive action asap… Give Critchley a go (while making arrangements with the new guy) - he can’t be any worse than SG… Edited August 30, 2022 by Jas10 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their bad start also lasted exactly three games. After which they went on a nine game unbeaten run (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccfcman Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) It's the absence of tactics that is most worrying. The only thing that's clear is our lack of width. We're not disciplined enough to work that formation effectively. The patterns aren't there, the manager doesn't know his best 11 and rarely seems to effect the game. We're like United under OGS - moments FC. I think Lange and Purslow are trying to get this to hang on as long as possible, but they're steering us close to a relegation battle in the hopes of a few results. If he lasts to the World Cup I'll be amazed. Edited August 30, 2022 by ccfcman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post useless Posted August 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2022 i watched the whole press conference and he didn't actually compare our bad start to Arsenal's last season, he mentioned it in passing but didn't make any comparison between that and our current situation At the end of the press conference when one of the journalists tried to compare our start to this season to Arsenal's start to last season Gerrard outright replied by saying 'I don't want to compare this situation to Arsenal I think that's irrelevant'. There are reasons enough to be critical of Gerrard at the moment, but him comparing us to Arsenal and their start last season isn't one of them, because he didn't actually do it, or at least not in today's press conference. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know phone-ins aren't much to go by, but Arsenal fans were frothing at the mouth speaking about Arteta relegating them if he wasn't sacked. The one thing I'm looking forward to when SG is gone, is not having to read or scroll past so much invective and name calling. Most of our feelings are pretty clear by now. It's also clear that he's struggling and this opportunity came way too soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
