Mantis Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) I'm not too worried about relegation *if* we get rid of Gerrard now. There's enough quality in the squad to keep us safe relatively comfortably under an average manager. Problem is the board seem insistent on carrying on and if this goes on into next year we might be too far behind.

I think whoever comes in will have a tough task. Played and threw points in so many winnable games. Just looking at the games we have after the WC and the way were playing makes me feel sick.

Just looking at the games we have after the WC and the way were playing makes me feel sick. It's a long season. We were in a similar position last season and even Gerrard managed to get enough points to keep us just about out of the relegation fight. There's definitely quality in the squad, not top 8 obviously but enough to keep us clear under an actual manager (as opposed to a fraud). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 For the money that has been spent to be saying there are not 3 worse teams is incredible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 We need to do it now. Fulham only drew 2-2 with Bournemouth at home so that's a winnable away game and we surely are due a win v Brentford...they lost 5-1 in their last away game. Then Newcastle, Man. United and Brighton is tricky but we took points off them last season in at least one of the games. Just leave it to the world cup break and next manager will have Liverpool at home and Spurs away to start and I'd rather give them some easier on paper matches to try to get us a few wins before November. Personally I'd have sacked Gerrard after losing to West Ham at end of August. We've played six games since and picked up six points so we're just wasting time at this point. Will be same for next six games if we do nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 We should be nowhere near a relegation battle with the squad we've got, it needs improving, some of our players overrated, we're not good enough to seriously challenge top six or seven, but at the same time, should be nowhere near bottom three, only way we will be possibly relegated is if we keep hold of Gerrard for too long, or if we get the next appointment wrong. An half decent manager that knows what he's doing should be able to see us comfortably safe and challenge top half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 To be more lucid still, if we appoint a decent manager we will be nowhere near relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post alreadyexists Posted October 16, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2022 Over 25% of the way through the season now and 9 points to show for it… that’s shockingly bad with this squad. He’s got to go now, and we need someone better. I did happily take a gamble on a young (essentially) unproven manager, but the gamble hasn’t paid off and it’s time to cut our losses and get rid. The longer he stays the closer to relegation we’ll be and the harder it will be for the incoming manager to make changes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard is a complete rookie in terms of management at the top level. He will come up against better and more experienced managers every week. The quality of the squad may save him but so far we're averaging below a point per game. And we're down there in terms of expected goals as well.
