No no, I meant the current (new) owners should have an effect on the losing mentality. I fully support NSWE, they are our saviors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how to rectify the underlying mental issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA_Villa Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 So we ask ourselves, have things improved since Smith's departure, and are we positive about things moving forward ............................. That's a No and a No then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david-avfc Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 The record of the last 12 games, just 9 points, is dire stuff. The manager at some point has to start answering questions at some point for such a poor run of form extended that long. No more excuses about not having the players, the right captain, enough time on the training pitch - he's had all those things now and it's time to improve.

ender4 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I’ve been generally pro-Gerrard (as I am with every Villa manager). But I was expecting a massive improvement on the last third of last season. Especially in tactics and coaching. Instead we got that shambles. I’m jumping off/over the fence and going to say I don’t believe Gerrard is the manager to take us into the higher parts of the table. And if he can’t do that, can’t make the individual players better and make the team better than the sum of individual players… then what is the point of him being here??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Gerrard doesn’t look healthy at all in that pic a few posts up. Looks like he put on weight and started drinking heavily. edit: this Edited August 6, 2022 by VillaParkAvenue 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Another performance like this next week, making it 2 wins in 13, and I think there will be quite a few in the stadium voicing their concerns about our lack of identity and direction. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I'm still in support of the manager... A couple of big performances needed to get us back on course... Buy yeah, a bit of an eye-opener today. However we did control possession for the majority of the game and to leave without anything is disappointing.

Villa87 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Just to add to everything his man management is destructive. Favourites, throwing Mings and then Sanson under the bus in his post match interviews. Classic Villa this - great owners, sine individually promising players to fall short with a clueless manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLARETANDBLUEFOXY Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Up until today I’ve been pretty pro Gerrard. Was I seduced by the Coutinho signing? Yes I was. Was I seduced by the Man United draw the way we fought back? Yes I was. But everything since then had been pants and I’m starting to think about joining the Gerrard out brigade.

icouldtelltheworld Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Honestly think we are going to look back on his appointment as one of the biggest missed opportunities in the club's history. Like when O'Neill brought in Heskey to fire us to a top 4 finish. We have a fantastic squad of players that any halfway decent manager would relish the chance to work with. The fact that beside the winning run when he first came in, the only time we've looked like a capable PL team is when he dropped his 'system' for a few matches really says it all. I reckon he stumbles on for a third of the season before we make a change, leading to yet another wasted year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
