est1874 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 So, do we still have people writing him off for absolutely no reason at all? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 3 minutes ago, Wezbid said: I like the cut of his jib. Humble, down to earth considering his prominence in the game. Focussed on improving, asking for more whilst also praising what we have. Very good. The standard of play has improved very quickly, far more organised, more fluidity going forward. The last 6-9 months under Deano we've looked like jigsaw pieces scattered all over whether we win, lose or draw. He's seemingly very focussed on shapes and having us move as a team. I don't want to jinx things but even if we lose against City, I don't expect it to be absolute savagery. That said, he's also learning and coming up against a better standard of manager now. Yea i'm not getting carried away with the good start without sounding like a miserable sod but you also get the feeling that he isnt either which is encouraging. Knows theres work to do and still things to prove in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hopefully Danny Mardy is on MOTD and they ask him about set piece coaches again after Gerrard praised ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DCJonah Posted November 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2021 I still think this season will have major ups and downs and we'll do well to finish 11th or higher. But it's not about this season, it's about moving the club forward and with these owners backing Gerrard, I'm **** excitied It still feels very surreal that he's our manager. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassyNoel Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Gerrard will be absolutely chomping at the bit to mix it with Pep. These are the people he wants to compare himself against and stand beside. That competitiveness will be infectious. I have a vibe about the Man City game, but regardless of the result we will give them a game for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Good start. I didn't like the guy at his appt, but fairs fair good start, good results and seems like good signs on the pitch generally. Reckon we can get something Wednesday too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that will now be what drives him. Yes it is very unlikely he will do it with us but you can see that determination in his eyes. He is gojng to work and work to make us competivie . No shying away . Business first . In fact business all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday night when not even full house. Not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Farlz Posted November 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2021 The reaction after that 2nd goal is brilliant. I am starting to warm to Gerrard, obviously 2 wins on the bounce would do that but he speaks well and on current evidence there's a clear style and tactical system being introduced. A real tough period coming up now so we'll get a good idea what he's really made of but so far so good. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he’ll feel the warmth, if he plays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
