Give him till November, if there is no improvement then yeah bin him off! But we don't want to be sacking and hiring managers every 12 months! Every manager has a different playing style so alway having to rebuild!! Not really, Klopp just came off a double nearly a quadruple. We have won 1 in about 12 is it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a home game next and if we perform we can get back on track quickly. People are overreacting because they're raw Or just seeing the same as the end of last season and thus struggling to see the positives when nothing has changed.

Today’s play and some of his baffling decisions just strengthened my doubts. We won’t sack him for a few months at least but nothing is suggesting to me tat he’s an elite Premier League level manager. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 If he does get eventually get the sack though, his replacement needs to be an elite manager, as close to a guarantee of being a success with us as possible, a name that people might imagine we wouldn't be able to attract, similar to when we appointed O'Neill, if we keep appointing managers just because they've done well at lesser clubs in the hope that at a club with more resources they willl do better, then we will just keep going around and around in circles. I don't know if we could get him specifically but if not Pochettino then would have to be some other brilliant manager of a similar calibre. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not based on this game alone.' Gerrard is not going anywhere so it is what it is. Yeah look, we get behind the team at Villa Park and hopefully we get a run of results to wash this one away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheMightyVillans Posted August 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2022 people aren't overreacting. They are seeing the same issues from last season play out already at the start of this season. This is with signing some top quality players and having a whole uninterrupted preseason. If you don't have a bit of concern then that is a worry. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the owners push for it I can't see Purslow being quick to show his mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not DC, I was with Dean Smith, but they sacked a decent manager who was developing something for Gerrard. He has been brought in to get results and he isn't, and not only that we are looking worse. If by the winter break things are not greatly improved he needs to go. That's my thoughts on it anyway.

But after 1 game of the new season let's see how he fairs over the next few games! If he persists with whatever tactic he thinks that was today the football gods will strike sooner than later as we will be bottom 3 by that point, there's no way that today was in anyway encouraging. I agree we cannot just fire him now, he should have a chance to tweak the system. But he seems tactically stubborn like he wants to invent a new style of play and win that way only. I enjoyed Smith a lot more if I'm honest. At least we had wide players cutting in and a bit of entertainment, we had a shape at least, and at least we could get behind a Villa man although he found his level, for me It's been a drag under Stevie and it just doesn't fit. He's becoming less relatable by the game. I'm more than happy to see some change to the system. It's not him personally as he has promise and reputation, it was a good experiment/gamble in theory, it's just that ridiculous system. And the fact we are so so very soft, always so soft Villa. The problems I'm seeing can change with either a new tactical plan or a change of manager. Kamikaze wing backs.Confused defensive positioning, slow build up, Its just a mess, we barely create anything with some of the most creative players we have had for years because the Premier league teams are too good for us to just pass our way through the middle of the park, which often leads to congestion and then we eventually get it wide and just a hopeful hoof into the box. I want to enjoy us playing football, today was so painful and inevitable. No plan B. I'm not seeing lack of effort and I don't blame the players, I see tactical ineptitude anyway he might change the game plan and formation and we win 4-0 next game and he will be the second coming of Ron Saunders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
