AshVilla Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 15 minutes ago, Vive_La_Villa said: Gerrard or no Gerrard we ain’t getting relegated. It’s just shit. I don't know how you can be sure of that. We have the easiest fixture run on paper and are still dropping points against the easier teams and have a difficult run after the wc . The teams that have come up are showing they are no push overs so if someone goes down it will be an established side. I think teams below and around us are in a false position and will kick on and finish above us based on how were playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s our best player. Drawback is, I think people are naturally harder on Coutinho due to him being SG's " mate ". He hasn't been in great form ( I thought he was good today though ) but at his best I think he definitely is better than Emi. Problem is he hasn't been at his best much recently.

We’re a below average side with or without Gerrard. Our main aim needs to be to avoid relegation. Arguing that we’ve spent lots of money and therefore shouldn’t be near the relegation zone is fanciful. This is a joke right! So this team is not as good as , Brighton, Fulham, Leeds, Brentford, Everton??? Stop with this bull!! We have players that should easily be seeing off a 10 man Leeds with a proper system and a idea how to change if it's not working. Gerrard is yet another manager learning on the job, making being a player in this team far to easy. Let him go and manage a Fulham or Bournmouth, Villa was always far to big for him, we know the only reason he got the job. The same results in another team and he would be gone already, this is what pisses me off. I mean what are we waiting for???

mrchnry Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I've remained on the fence as much as possible but the one thing I can't defend is just how boring we are. As a club that want growth there's is no way anyone is watching us this season and thinking "yeah I'm happy to pay £40 to see that live" Every game we don't lose is now a missed opportunity to sack Gerrard. We're in a situation where the manager is bigger than the club and the fans need to act. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being probably the highest profile player in the squad and certainly one of the highest earners also brings a certain expectation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 If we truly want him gone the fans have to act, it's the only way to force the boards hand to tell Purslow, your man is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 NSWE had a plan, or still have a plan. It's Project Gerrard and they are invested in him, Purslow obviously too. Gerrard isn't going anywhere, we will get a win against Forest and be top ten. Progress in the eyes of NSWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) His press conferences are just starting to annoy me. If you didnt like how Watkins played then why didnt you sub him ffs? On the plus side our midfield wasnt awful. Edited October 2, 2022 by ciggiesnbeer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think NSWE are that stupid. they were ruthless with Smith. It'll be going on behind the scenes with Purslow's staff or NWSE's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegedly they were wowed by Gerrard during interview and possibly still are. Edens might know the NBA but PL football not at all.

foreveryoung Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 One thing for sure, the players just don't work hard enough under him, I bet training is a walk in the park. The reason he ain't lost the dressing room is probably because it's so cushy under him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 No doubt he will have a moan about the squad and bring in more overpaid players of similar quality in January and not know how to coach them. Its head banging on the wall stuff. Why have we employed this person who is not qualified for the job? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are certainly not here just throw money about like the arabs, they will want a return sooner rather then later, especially with the stadium refurb. There's a reason we didn't spend big money in this window, an for these reasons he'll be gone soon enough, I'm sure of it. They also ain't gonna be the mugs who keep a shit manager while others around us are sacking there's i.e Wolves, Leicester...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
