Something fans probably don't care about at the minute given the position were in. Club needs to get it's priorities right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins...touch is throw in...even his shots were a throw in today. Mings...always has a mistake in him more than.making the odd one. Luiz...onlynwantsntje ball when he is between konsa and mings Mcginn....huffs and puffs but again..lacks that real quality. These are just a sample of that...there are more It's a combination of both a manager who's not good enough and players not good enough. Recipe for a disaster and we are unfortunately following it step by step. All those players look significantly better under different managers though - either in the recent past or in the actual present with their national teams. No idea why a handful of people are refusing to accept the obvious. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time last season we were on a 4 game losing streak which is why we were still on 10 points. Right now we're just slowly chugging away consistently at less than 1 point per game. We've won just 2 games all season. So a death by a thousand cuts, slowly dying….something like 18 points in the last 21 league games, 9 points in the last 10 league games, scored only 7 league goals this season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I don't wanna claim a prize, but I commented before the game even started, if we have a good first half, Potter will change it up second half and Gerrard would have no idea how to react. Guess what happened? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't bother to do any of the training does he? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I’d be amazed if he is still in charge by the time we play Fulham. I am genuinely sad about that because it’s not good to change managers in less than a year but he can’t argue. It’s simply not been good enough. I worry about what will come next though. I don’t fully trust our board to make a solid decision. Whatever happens though, our fans need to show more patience. A small minority were against Gerrard from the beginning and it’s not helpful. Whoever comes in is going to find it hard because quite frankly, the players aren’t good enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got a point of people being against gerrard from the off, it’s likely the only good legacy he will leave behind, I imagine everybody will initially at least support the new manager when they arrive with blind faith given how much most want this clown gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Maybe we worry he may do well in the Championship with us. I really want the new guy at work to do well, he's a great lad, one of the boys, but he is useless and has no positive input to the business. So unfortunately for him, he has another month with us and if he don't improve and stop making silly mistakes, unfortunately he'll be gone. But I really want him to do well, but I just know it ain't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 What an odd way to put a stat. So in other words, this is Villa's second worse start to a PL season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ciggiesnbeer Posted October 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2022 Villa fans have been remarkably supportive of Gerrard. I will have none of this nonsense any group of fans were against him and made his job harder, simply not true. Even those who thought he was not good enough from the start gave him a fair shot. He was backed by the fans, the CEO, the board, the players, his staff and the media. He just blew it plain and simple. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Bournemouth or Fulham players good enough, cause they are sitting 10th and 11th at the moment?? I just can't believe our players are relegation candidates. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted October 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 16, 2022 I just don't understand what anyone at board level is waiting for. It's not going to work with Gerrard. That's been clear for a long long time now. We've been completely wasting by keeping him. My only hope is that the rumours are true and we've identified the manager we want but he will only come in November. But even so, sack Gerrard and give Critchley the gig until then. It would be very difficult for any other manager to do a worse job than Gerrard with this squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re plenty good enough to beat Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth if they are coached right. This is not a squad that will challenge the top six (the expectation in August) but it’s not a squad that should be in the bottom six. I’ve just been reading on this very thread how these ‘not good enough’ players outplayed Chelsea today Edited October 16, 2022 by Adam2003 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chindie Posted October 16, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2022 Today wasn't a bad performance, but at this point that's not good enough. And everything else is so bad his position is untenable. Sack him. He's shit. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
