Yes I never thought he left on bad terms , it wasn’t like he was a villa fan , we were a sinking ship at that point and he did what was right for his career moved to club to win trophies and play under the best manager ever, and in terms of diving a player should do what ever it takes to win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manager of the season, proved all his doubters wrong, the Liverpool board have called an emergency meeting to sack Klopp and bring in Gerrard straight away. Reality though… Great first two wins, massive credit to him for not only the wins but some things he’s done. Nice really for the first time our manager has basically had a fully fit squad to choose from. We’ve beaten two teams we expect to beat, all things being equal but both those teams have been doing well whereas we haven’t. There is a confidence starting to build. It’s all good news, in fact great news but there is still a long way to go to prove some of the reservations were wrong. We all hope (most of us) that this isn’t just a new manager bounce and this is the future and I’ll be happy to eat my words. I’m far more in the Gerrard positive now than two weeks ago obviously but those reservations were valid then as they are now but I’m far more positive for now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i accept you have your view, to say we were expected to beat both is just not true at all. We had lost 5 on the bounce. The only team to beat Brighton in the last 9 in the PL was Man City, they had only lost 2 games all season until we played them. Crystal Palace were unbeaten at home, hadnt lost in 7 games and had only been beaten by Liverpool & Chelsea in the PL so far this season (both away), while picking up draws at Arsenal & Leicester, and beating Spurs & Man City. We just beat them both, right on the back of a 5 game losing streak. I agree we shouldnt get carried away, but to say were were "expected" to beat Brighton & Palace, would be doing a huge dis-service to Gerrard and the team.

Popular Post Mark Albrighton Posted November 27, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) At the start of the season, I would have looked at Brighton home and Palace away as two games we should be realistically aiming for maximum points. But a month ago maximum points against those two looked decidedly less realistic. To come in to a side on a dreadful recent run and beat a relatively high flying (yet winless in a while) Brighton and a Palace side on a reasonable run themselves within a couple of weeks of being here is pretty good going.

Vive_La_Villa Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 i thought he was injured but I hope he plays because I think he weakens them. But that’s one for Grealish thread. Im sure Gerrard will have us fired up regardless. But it doesn’t often matter against City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 It's very easy to buy into his character, as a fan, from the bits I've seen so far. I can see why he could/would inspire the players. Comes across as serious, determined, and hard working, but humble and down to earth. Very considered when talking as well. When the players perform as they have been, it again gets hard to want to drop/replace any of them. Good thing we have City, Leicester, and Liverpool coming up for clarity.
