Defending against the top clubs is perfect for Gerrard’s Villa. Some will cheer afterwards. Then we’ll lose to Fulham, Brentford, Newcastle, Chelsea will beat us by at least 2 clear goals, they have improved since Potter took them over. Purslow has to explain how he picked Gerrard and who else was in the frame. We can't allow him to pick another manager after such a poor decision with Gerrard who was a massive gamble right at a time we didn't need to, we now have less to offer a new manager.

That takes us to the world cup break. The only reason he hasnt been sacked yet imo is because our no1 target, whoeber that is, has said he'll only take the job at that point. Presumably because they want time to work with the squad. We are in serious trouble I agree with all that above,except for Fulham.IMHO that will be a 0-1 win to Fulham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted October 12, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 12, 2022 We're more suited to playing against the better teams, so ironically this probably isn't the foregone conclusion that it might be on paper. I still can't see us getting anything from it though. A narrow defeat I think, and Gerrard to continue as manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Is this game on TV? Will be great to see Carrager's reaction when Slippy is sacked live on air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the game against Chelsea will make even Southgate question the system, with the defensive set up we will probably play. I remember the Leeds fans singing Wilko for England at the 98 League Cup Final. Stevie for England!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is creating something in their half, which I think is unlikely to see. Really? Under Gerrard I guess yeah, but our team should be good enough to give Chelsea a good game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I am too, can't be daft but at the same time at home you'd want us to go at Chelsea and make a game of it, they're not man City, we shouldn't play scared football vs them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted October 12, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 12, 2022 Only once since taking over at Villa has Gerrard not used 433 (or its 4312/4321 derivatives) and that was the 4141 employed against Norwich in April. A 2-0 win. Unfortunately it doesn't exactly give us a smoking gun given how shit Norwich were at the time. Still, I thought it was interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Eh - if the owner are in attendance, Stevie will really shut down shop to get a point. Keep it tight - 10 men behind the ball and leave Watkins up top. Punt and run the channels. Get a corner - try to take advantage of Kepa's flapping. Pragmatism!
