We need to do this! We need to show that! Picks the same 11 plays the same way makes the same subs His lack of ability to stamp any sort of identity on this team is very reminiscent of Bruce as well.

tomav84 Posted August 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2022 here's a thought. liverplop continue their poor start to the season, klopp sacked, liverpool go with their heart over their head and appoint SG. we'd actually get some compo for him too.

Panto_Villan Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I think quite a few people have unfairly had the knives out for Gerrard since the moment he joined, but after a transfer window and a pre-season he doesn’t have any excuses to hide behind. If we’re not rapidly back on top-half form I suspect Stevie will be out of a job shortly, and rightly so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's backfired spectacularly and will conyinue to get worse Gerrard was rumoured for the job when we lost Leicester 4-0 This is Purslow pet project, he criticised Smith getting 55 points 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as everyone (sane) accepts that - the issue many raised was that rolling the dice on sacking someone who had brought us up and kept us up for someone who had never had a credible managerial job was a huge gamble that could send us down. I don’t think anyone would have been too upset if we had sacked Dean and brought in Conte but we gambled. I took my hat off to him last season when we picked up the points to eliminate that relegation concern… but then we looked worse and worse since the turn of the year. So now I’m worried the concern was just a year early, and although I’m currently still pretty sure we will be comfortably midtable I don’t think that’s the Board’s ambition. Sacking a manager is always just half of the equation. And the more complicated part is the replacement.

I'm not a betting man, but I somehow doubt that he'd have reacted badly, and would put money on it Aubameyang was not performing on the pitch, not coming to training and was a poor influence. The complete opposite of Tyrone who's been nothing but exemplary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 There is such a huge disconnect between Gerrard and the fans. He just doesn’t get what we see. This won’t work out and I strongly suspect he will be out of a job soon. Yet another wasted season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
