sne Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Just want this season to be over, been feeling that way for a couple weeks now. Sadly I'm not really looking forward to next season either which considering our owners and the stuff happening around the club I really should. But I just don't see this working out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many things you can crticisise Gerrard on but I don't think lazy rumours in the media about transfers is one of them. That's why I said 'hoped'. I didn't actually criticise Gerrard at all.

Newry_Villan Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Letting him loose on the squad this summer frightens me. He's not ready for this league and this experiment by Purslow is backfiring. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Another Lampard with a better haircut but squeaker voice. I'm not impressed with what him or his team is producing. Being switched on for 20min a game isn't good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post maqroll Posted April 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2022 Really annoying to see Buendia, Chambers and Sanson all continue to be frozen out. Gerrard is alarmingly rigid in his selection and substitutions. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m so indifferent. I’m not even despondent or anything, just meh about it. I’m not sure getting rid of Gerrard at the end of the season would be a wise move, but equally I’m far from convinced him taking charge next season is the correct decision either. My biggest worry is, as others have said, we spend £150m on “proven” players to break the top 8 and beyond and it doesn’t work. I worry the owners will be soon be fed up, sack Gerrard, then we have a load of disillusioned high earners who don’t have much of a resale value. I know some on here like to think we’ve wasted all the money we’ve spent, but y’know, we will make a profit on the likes of Konsa for instance (as poor as today was, admittedly). I can’t see us making money on Digne for instance, so if that transfer (and one’s of that ilk) fail to work out, that really will be a waste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same way. This season has been a real damp squib and don't think next will be much better, if at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buck stops with the manager, and this one is garbage. Can't wait to see him dismantle the team this summer... Must admit with every match that passes I get more and more worried about the summer. However I didn't want Dean Smith and I was wrong about him, so lets hope I am wrong about Gerrard and when he has spent £200 million we will see a side that can play the system he wants to use. Afterall we all want Villa to win, and I want every Villa manager to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our owners don't have a load of knowledge either, feel they have let Purslow get too much of a grip on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 My biggest concern with gerrard is his points return against the top sides ite been pathetic and its a near full strength team. Even smith managed to beat some of the top sides. Id give him until end of season if this shit continues then he has to be sacked as this is simply not good enough.

I don't know where you start with that but it is something that can be corrected. It doesn't help when they the guys on the bench see a poor performance and they aren't given a chance.

bose Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Newcastle are two points behind us. Gerrard is a lot of work to do. He’ll get the summer but I’m long way from thinking he’s the right choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it doesn't work out, two summers in a row we'll have pissed away huge sums of cash on an ever changing idea of what the team should look. I'm horrified by the idea of us signing players for this incredibly narrow, no wingers approach, then changing manager and flipping straight back. Any sense of long term planning, and managers continuing our "project" in the same style seems to have gone completely out of the window, and we're going all in on Gerrard's vision to make it work. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I cant wait to hear from gerrard I bet he wont criticise them and say we didnt deserve to lose 4-0 but im sorry no matter how well we played 1st half you dont lose 4-0 at home.
