Gerrard hasn't had a chance to sign players to fix the gaps that Smith left in the team. And Smith was the manager. If he wasn't in charge of transfers then he should have been knocking down the doors of those in charge saying that our midfield wasn't strong enough and that we needed another central defender. Pep and Klopp would struggle to get performances out of this squad.
Herman22 Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 No big outcry after the horrible Kane tackle on Sky! Funny that!

nick76 Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 Just now, allani said: He has the same squad as Smith with the same problems. We have a very weak spine. Not sure that Pep or Klopp would do a hell of a lot when you have strikers missing three or four easy chances, a midfield that goes missing when under pressure and fails to track their runners and a defence that allows attackers too much space. Gerrard’s job can’t all be about buying playing, he needs to be able coach players to get the best out of them. I cant see after six months any improvement of the players that was here. Gerrard is obviously not Conte level but look at the difference Conte has made with Spurs with essentially the same players as under Nuno. 1

tomav84 Posted April 9, 2022 VT Supporter Posted April 9, 2022 City should've bought son instead of jack. Better player
thabucks Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 Difference for me today has been Romero, Kane & Son vs Konsa I gs and Watkins

Herman22 Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 Why is Watkins called offside there so quickly? I thought they were supposed to be allowed to ply out?

For me, the question is has he shown enough promise to rebuild the squad in his style? He need to be able to coach and get the best out of players not just rely on buying players 2
Tom13 Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 If we were offered a Bill Bailey for Leon Bailey swap right now, who would take it? 3
Tom13 Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 In all seriousness though, he needs a proper run of games.

This midfield dug us out of a relegation rut, had us on the cusp of Europe with a strong defensive showing, they've not had a good season (part of Smith's issue was attempting to accommodate Ings), but to say that we're beyond redemption with good coaching is letting Gerrard get away with a suicidal setup for the team. 2

Emi aside, name me an excellent player in our squad whom Gerrard inherited from the last regime. 1
