He never had the ball. He just ran past the ball and shoulder barged Digne. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can’t figure out how to get wingers into the team. That’s a problem. Because at half time we should have been 4-1 up. Does that count for nothing. Spurs were second best everywhere other than a rebound off the post. Gerrard might be the wrong choice but the defeat today is not on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allani Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 1 minute ago, It's Your Round said: I’d be seriously questioning whether we want to give Gerrard £150m. But it was Smith who was in charge when most of this team were bought. Our two best players today have been Digne and Coutinho. The problems at centre back and centre midfield have been well documented on here for the best part of 3 seasons. Smith failed to strengthen those areas in 5 or 6 transfer windows. Gerrard has had 1 window so far. He might not be the right man - but we need to at least give him a chance to address the holes in our current squad. Neither Klopp nor Pep could do much with this squad. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defend properly too and we win comfortably Yep, could you imagine Kane and Son missing all them? No. The quality of the strikers has made the difference yet some fans don’t think we need a new striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Just now, Davkaus said: £27m, for a left back that looks no better than one loaned out to a team likely to finish above us. Just Villa things. Targett was diabolical and jumped and demanded to leave rather than stay and try and best Digne. He’s really not that good - a massive wet wipe that even Emi called him on in 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith didn’t do transfers, and half of that time was in the championship. Absolutely ridiculous post. Even if you count Smiths time in the prem the parameters for signings - handled by Suso and Lange - is entirely different.

Wurzel Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I was going to write a long rambling piece on Gerrard, but the truth is he has proved no better than Smith, and will not, even when it is obvious, change his system and way of playing. It is very concerning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted April 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2022 5 minutes ago, Rodders said: we're losing 4-0. Yeah the players take their share of blame, but he is consistently worse than Smith in terms of competing with teams above or around us. He has lost every game I think against teams not below him. He's a fraud and the sooner he **** off the better. He's tim sherwood with a scouse accent. Yeah we need players too, but gerrard is a garbage manager Who cares about Smith. He's gone, get over it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
