Which was 11 points out of 11 or so. So by getting Gerrard out we’d need 7-8 points from the next 5 (not counting City). We still have a chance to save the season but it’s toxic right now. Gerrard has to leave. Yes, we must have a new manager by next week latest, to have some hope to get something from the Leicester and Southampton games. With Gerrard in charge they are almost a write of as the ManC game. I fear the board would like to wait until the international break or even worse the WC break. It worked fine when we sacked Smith last year, but 3 points after 8 games, is so much worse then 6-9 points after 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Hes probably going to leave as being the worst manager in our history. Seems he probably won't have much a managerial career after this. He has been exposed badly. I imagine he will probably end up trying to be a pundit for awhile after this.

A'Villan Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) What alarms me with SG is that he doesn't own what's happening and take a step of leadership and the responsibility for it, and I'm not even talking publicly, or to the playing staff. I'm talking about to his own self. It's like he hasn't even considered the possibility this is on him. Seems to me that his energy was spent becoming the great midfielder that he was for Liverpool, and while so much of the principles that got him to that level of success are ingrained in who he is to this day, the desire to work on his current game, managing and coaching, more specifically, managing and coaching us to where we need to be, is in stark contrast to his playing career. I could be dead wrong, but I'm saying it, I think this is more of a post career pastime than a career he's willing to invest in enough to be great at. As is, at least. Hope I'm misguided in that.

Digavilla Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 If there’s no new signing coming in today, we can safely assume he will be sack very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubs105 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Think today will tell a lot on the plan for SG. If we sign a decent CB & CM and possibly an FW he will get the 2 games after city. If the day ends with no activity bar a backup CB then I think the writing is on the wall sooner than later . I wouldn’t be surprised if he walks after the city game rather than being backed. The big summer they talked about has not happened and there must be a reason for that or else a lack of belief in the players he wanted ( aging on very high wages etc.) Edited September 1, 2022 by tubs105 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The moment you could see him really shuffling the deck trying to save himself was when he brought on Luiz for McGinn, while Ramsey was on a yellow card. What a curve ball. Hopefully one of his last actions in the Villa dugout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picicata Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 It would make sense to sack him today and put Critchley in for the Man City game just to save us from the sight of 40000 people in Villa Park all turning on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cosmik Debris Posted September 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2022 I don’t feel Steven is being given a fair chance to prove himself compared to Deano. Let’s see what he does in the Championship next year before we really start to judge how good he is, it’s the right thing to do 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Weren't we 9th on the form table last season after Gerrard took over? I think without Beale there is no Gerrard project so we may as well get right now. Guy been carrying Gerrard since day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since beale left we have looked even more hopless than before. I think the whole coaching setup danks mcphee etc all need to go with gerrrad as all have been shockingly bad. Critchley for me has been shit too. I dont have hate towards gerrard he came with good intentions just failed. He is out of his depth. Probably should have taken a lower level job like in the championship before moving to PL He will never ever manage liverpool thats for sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have wrecked him, he looked about 60 years old sitting on that bench stuck next to MacAlister, who looked completely disinterested in what Gerrard was saying to him or what was unfolding in front of him.

Wurzel Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 What I don't get is he has the chance to change things, but he continues with the same failed system. He needs to give the players a fighting chance to show what they can do! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We havent wrecked him, he has wrecked himself with some utterly poor decisions. Trying to play a style that doenst suit these players, captainsgate (does anything else need to be said about that?) Wasting 28m on digne when targett was good enough, playing his favourites like mcginn and coutinho depsite them being very poor and inconsistent. Freezing sanson out for no reason, benching luiz. Playing ings and watkins together all the time when its be a epic failure. Its been nothing short of a disaster under him and he has wrecked the club not us wrecked him 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post imavillan Posted September 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2022 Not one, not a single player has improved under his tenure. Every single player looks/is playing worse than we know they can. It's so painful to watch it's death by a thousand cuts !!!!!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much extra pressure will it put on any new manager to get results quickly? Can we afford to do that? How many of these players would stick around in the Championship? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
