MrBlack Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Man we need some monumental transformations to turn our league from around. I'm not even sure Gerrard changing the midfield would help. His system is rotten to the core, irrespective of who plays in it. Our terrible distance covered stats are indicative of the fact noone has a clue what they're doing. It's a shambles. He needs the boot before it's too late to save the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But accepting that he didn't say that I do agree that he said we would be up there and pushing for Europe. After 3 games, W1 L2, I suspect it is a tad early to say we haven't met the goal of pushing for Europe. Results wise maybe. Performance wise these 3 games make us look miles off.

I think our distance running stat is so low because we have like 58% possession this season, and when we're in possession we play at such a pedestrian pace, hardly anyone breaks into a jog.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) 25 minutes ago, Peter Griffin said: Its not looking good for him (or us) If we win four games next month, I'm sure I could find a stat saying that " No other Villa Manager has ever won 4 matches in a September after 3 pm in a month where Tyrone Mings hasn't scored " Yes the stats are shit. However I find pictures can be painted with stats to suit any narrative. " Steven Gerrard is the only Villa Manager to ever have beaten Everton on a Saturday in a game where Anwar El Ghazi wasn't fasting " Last week it was one saying he would be the worst Villa Manager in history or something like that. Lol I don't reckon I even need research to rebuff some of these things, as I've been a Villa fan long enough and have other memories.

Thug Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 7 hours ago, Peter Griffin said: The Board have to make decisions that they believe are right for the club. Its fairly irrelevant whether you or I or anyone else thought Deano could take us to the next level,. They obviously believe Gerrard has more chance of success at Villa than Deano. The board made a conscious decision to employ a rookie and they decided the risk was worth it. Having made the decision to employ a rookie it would be daft to sack him before he has learned on the job. I’m not gonna say anything 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right, but I bet man city, and some other teams, have more average possession than us. And probably covered significantly more distance.

This dross i'm watching week in and out is enough to get 10th place? I mean if he can get it to click into places top 8 really isn't that out of the question! Are we (I) being too harsh on Gerrard? He has won 3 out of the last 15 and has only managed us for 30 matches. The drop off in form after the initial manager's bounce has been shocking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it surprising, after watching how shite we are, seeing his record, seeing the stats… that people are so willing to defend and back the guy… if his name wasn’t Steven Gerrard then I think there would be a lot more discontent or fury… can’t see any other reason but fine, if people want to do that then carry on by all means… Just a bit peculiar how some people have suddenly started to change their tune a bit, for no apparent reason… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
