If we lose today he has a 50 percent loss record here 

Coutinho is the only positive thing about Gerrard's time in charge so far.  Tactically, he's extremely naive and underestimates how poor our defense is in transition.  Smith would take too long to switch up his tactics, but Gerrard chops and changes them too much that the players don't know what they're supposed to be doing.  When we finally find a system which works (4312) he goes back to the narrow system which we've been woeful with (4321).  Now, we're playing 4231 without a defensive midfielder and our CBs are pushing up the pitch like fullbacks, leaving us massively exposed at the back.  Gerrard needs to learn that this isn't the SPL...  You can't throw everyone forward without consequence.

This is an issue which the media will ignore, if he was a random foreign manager he would be getting labelled the Tinkerman or something similar
