I know someone will but I don’t want to see it now…. Ah I can't wait. Been great for cheering me up after more shit. Always the same faces as well, they were great comedy under Smith. 8 hours ago, OutByEaster? said: We're had bad managers before, and we've been worse as a team, we've looked just as disorganised, just as hapless and just as lost. But I don't think we've ever had a manager be this bad with players this good. Yep. The longer we waste time, the higher the chance something really dangerous like relegation could actually happen. 8 hours ago, Tom13 said: @jim and @TRO ? Jim delivered perfectly.

You've seen us this season. I watched Plymouth v Ipswich a week or so ago. Top of league 1. Both sides better coached and organised than us. Really enjoyable match.

We’ll be narrowly beaten by Chelsea on Sunday in what Gerrard and his pundit mates will construe as a ‘moral victory’. I think losing to Chelsea is inevitable and he'll be sacked then. At that point his mates in the press can't defend him or accuse us of acting too quickly. He'll have less points from 10 games as Smith did at the point he was sacked.. We can reiterate the lack of progress we made after Smith was sacked. There can be no arguments or accusations it makes no sense to get rid. Hopefully we're talking to Poch right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I really wanted Gerrard when he was first hinted at coming, as I thought he would take us to the next level. Although young, I honestly thought also that he’d be capable of boxing with the big boys. He would bring much needed energy and most of all, a name that everybody knew around the world. However, he’s been nothing short of a disaster. The squad look totally devoid of confidence and ideas. Last night we were scared and playing not to lose, rather than gunning for a win. The coaching set up is an absolute farce to go with this. Does Danks even exist? This cannot go on much longer. The “Continuous Improvement” line is looking more laughable day by day and we’re sleepwalking into a relegation fight again. It really is poor and we’re a boring watch it’s sad to say. “It’s on me” is wearing thin now and when you start blaming players, you’re slowly heading for the door. Fed up fan today.

No they backed up during lock down and I have family who live in cyprus so go there a couple times per year for just the airfare, good when they live near aiya nappa, bad when we play under the king of the gypsies.

Still, totally worth it. But on the bright side at least we'll be able to laugh at that terrible comedian doing that "yeeeeeaaaaahh 'course' routine. Well, at least watch it without tutting.

chrisvilla4 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Likely we will lose to Chelsea, if, by some miracle we can get him out and a new manager in by then it will be a free hit, if not, hopefully it will spell the end. I think we all need putting out of our misery. Fans, players, Gerrard. And that waste of space Mcphee can go too. Get some proper experienced people in who know what they're doing.

Someone going into the manager job will obviously use things he's picked up during the playing career. Gerrard stayed at Liverpool his whole career and it wasn't exactly a modern and progressive club at the time. Houllier, Benitez, Hodgson and Dalglish managed Gerrard when he was 18-32 years. Maybe that's why he comes across as conservative, rigid and old-school. Edited October 11, 2022 by VillaParkAvenue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viivvaa66 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 In the pre-match build up on Sky, Carragher explained Gerrard’s as a manager. His inspiration as a manager comes from Houllier and Benitez. The philosophy is to keep a narrow and tight shape, that prevent conceding goals. And then give the ball to the forward players and hope they do something with it. I guess that was ok for Benitez that had Gerrard and Torres in the team. In other words there is no hope with Gerrard, unless we sign some word class attacking players. Not sure if that even helps, because modern football have moved on, and ideas from 20 years ago, do no longer work. Good modern coatches do train players in how to attack.

I didn't think it was possible with the money spent. Didn't think he was this bad. I do rate Critchley as well. I think he's been told to try and coach this shit shape that will never work in the PL. Can't be done. Gerrard is done once we do sack him. It was difficult to fail here and he has. So so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Look at the players faces last night. They know its not working. We just struggled to draw with the worst team in the league. The rot has set in and SG doesn't sound like a man who is "All in". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Usually when we talk about replacing a manager, the question is always “well who is better out there?” Well when you look at it from today.. there a lot of very good managers currently on the sidelines, this is the ideal time to not only replace him but actually replace him with far better credentials.

UpTheVilla26 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I knew this wouldn't work from the first day I heard he was seriously linked with us. My eldest lad text me & my reply was 'I hope you're are joking'. Fast forward nearly a year and Gerrard has achieved one thing for me on a personal level - he is the Villa manager, during my 30+ years supporting this great club, that I despise the most. Last night alone wound me up so much. Cameron Archer. The same lad, who has barely been offered a chance to kick a ball all season, gets lobbed on in a desperate attempt to scab a victory. How, as a manager, can you even think that would work? He's not even had 10mins here or there, it was as blatant as turning round and saying 'well, I've tried everything else, sod it, on you go'. I can only hope one of the owners, if not both, have seen enough and are acting behind the scenes. The good vibe around this club has been destroyed by one idiot and we are a laughing stock right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
