Its acceptable. There was good, bad and ugly but the season was so fragmented for us for so many reasons. Its exciting having a squad like we do, and Gerrard can clearly attract a calibre of player that hopefully pushes us on in this league which is becoming more and more difficult to compete. We have to thank our lucky stars we arent just there to make up the numbers like many clubs, we are actually looking to compete. The quality of our squad is improving with each window. Emi Martinez, Lucas Digne, Coutinho, Diego Carlos, Leon Bailey, Emi Buendia, Danny Ings, Boubacar Kamara, etc.; These are top top players; its hard to believe we have them all at B6. Imagine we get them all in a structure that works, get them all in top form playing with confidence . Our bench will be strong, the 5 subs could work in our favour next season. Absolutely vital we get off to a good start and see where the momentum takes us. A favourable start to the fixture list will do nicely please, corrupt PL overlords 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically were only 2pts off being 14th in the Gerrard table. Hardly a glowing commendation of Gerrard's time at Villa is it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realise that so all the grief I got about talking about the poor form in 2022 and me being dismissed because we were 9th in his tenure is due to 2 points 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted June 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 1, 2022 I may start including a Switzerland flag in my posts to display my neutrality when the subject of the final 27 matches of the 2021/22 season is brought into discussion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I think if I hear Gerrard was 9th again I think i might kill combust with laughter as if they give trophies for when Gerrard joined the Premier League trophy. Its a pathetic answer when the table said 14th and he managed a large majority of our games playing a version Bruceball. Keep it tight and hope Coutinho can do something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how excited you'll be when I post the 2022/2023 new season table, and I make everyone realise that SG is 2nd and just 1 point off first.

Keep it tight and hope Coutinho can do something I think people will continue saying that sort of thing in defence of our manager while you keep repeating the same negative, anti Gerrard diatribe on an almost hourly basis. It is true though, 9th since he arrived. Perhaps you could get a picture with you, SG and the trophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the bullshit i said repeated The Gerrardistas in force, not seen such a weird cultish obsession since Rafa managed Liverpool Edited June 1, 2022 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all the recent stuff where we especially stunk the place out with performance and results wasn't it? Certainly felt that way. Hopefully Beale leaving can be some sort of catalyst.

Keyblade Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 His Villa tenure ostensibly starts in August. He had a nice trial run to properly understand his squad, what he needs, and impart some of his philosophy. A free hit of a season. Don't really care if he finished 9th or 14th in whatever table, it's really all the same. I hope the football improves first and foremost. He'll have the tools, I'm rooting for him. He's got most other things down at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was giving him benefit of doubt as I and a few others knew it was a new manager bounce but I didnt want to make it a thing as you cant debate Gerrard on here now so was trying to make it as little an issue as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll have to wait and see who SG hires as Beale’s replacement, and what football philosophy that person brings with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
