Big if true.

Critchley is just a coach. He does what Gerrard asks him. At least he’d play with proper wingers if he was in charge.

Announce Gallardo

One of the owners in Rome. Mourinho or Sarri

Why is he only using 3 subs again. To be fair not much else on the bench that’s gonna change anything

He mainly plays a 442 with Villarreal

To little to late. Gerrard should have implemented that months ago.

What will Gerrard’s team talk at half time be like? Tell them to dig deep, and find a moment of magic?

Like the Spurs game

Worst possible start for a team sitting back and playing on counter. Chelsea will just keep the ball now

They’re really emphasising that on sky, damage limitations form Slippys mates

I think Bailey could have a good game. This is the sort of game will suit him, his pace will get him in behind the Chelsea defenders.

They will be ripped apart by Chelsea midfield. Has Dendoncker started yet? He’s a Belgian international.

The change in attack is welcome, and not surprising. Sit back and hope our two fastest players (Bailey and Watkins) can get in behind them. It’s the same midfield 3 that grinds my gears. How many times does he need to see that combination fail?

It’s all so tiresome. Same midfield 3 that hasn’t worked for countless games. Well this will be his last game, farewell Slippy.

Here’s a list of favourites just before Gerrard was announced: Steven Gerrard 1/25 Paddy Power Frank Lampard 14/1 Paddy Power John Terry 14/1 BetVictor Roberto Martinez 16/1 William Hill Kasper Hjulmand 14/1 BetVictor Paulo Fonseca 14/1 BetVictor Graham Potter 16/1 BetVictor Potter aside, an extremely underwhelming list. People need to temper their expectations if they think the list will be much different now. Poch and Tuchel ain’t happening.

I’d love to know who is on Lange and Purslow’s list to replace Gerrard. It likely won’t be anyone mentioned here like Poch etc.

This is not true. He replaced Tuchel in January 2021 and finished 2nd, 1 point behind champions Lille. He then won the league in 2021-22 season, before he left the club.

This kind of thing was always gonna happen when he was close to the sack. He has lots of mates in the media. Get ready for the club and players to be blamed when he does eventually get sacked.

Think you need to take the claret and blue tinted glasses off.

No, he had already left by the time they hired Rodgers.

No to Rodgers. If he’s struggling with Leicester, he’s not gonna do much better with us.

Rodgers getting the sack?

Julian Alvarez on loan in Jan. is there a limit to how many Argentine players you’re allowed?

He’s also great at bringing through youth, which is sort of a necessity in Argentina as clubs don’t have much money and sell their best talent to Europe every year.
