He's talking like we've just been promoted and spent no money. It's mad how he's trying to change the narrative. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I not going to Villa Park again whilst he is manager and I'm not posting anymore until he's gone. It's an absolute waste of time and energy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a series of bad results he's now basically lining up the team to play dour stuff and not concede just so he can scrap enough points from week to week to keep his job. Not good enough for a team with aspirations of europe is it? Edited September 16, 2022 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We assembled a what £300 million side maybe even more yet we play football like we're fighting for relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course 3 points is always welcome but we won't be finishing higher than 14th if that's going to be the general standard. And based on last six months it pretty much is under this manager. Did we even have a serious shot second half? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're just a limited team for what we want to be. I'd still like to give someone else a shot at managing this group though as it still should be better than 14th.

Did we even have a serious shot second half? I’m not saying that it was good. It wasn’t. It was very poor but there’s loads of hyperbolic rubbish floating around and we should try and at least retain some perspective. I’m not convinced by Gerrard at all. He makes some incredibly odd decisions. We totally lack any identity. Our players constantly lack conviction and confidence. Is that not what we used to say when Dean was in charge though? I suspect that a lot of our problems stem from a player pool with incredibly weak mentality. I would happily back Mings, Bouba and Emi 1 to have the mental strength to withstand lots of things but I wouldn’t back any of the others when the chips are down.

DCJonah Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I didn't watch the game tonight. Had no interest. Not surprised we won or by the comments about our performance. I just don't see what we are going to be under him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Archer who is made for the squad around him. He has the ability to take a touch and get a shot on target. It's annoying he's not even on the bench now. Ollie is decent at holding up a high ball in but then struggles to actually pass the ball/build up the play. He gets tackled the majority of our attacks. So frustrating. Gerrard trying to win ugly just means he's failed at organising, setting up and drilling a really talented bunch of players into a team that can fulfil their potential and play to their strengths. It's painful viewing. The 3 points are welcome but a manager knowing what he's really doing would have sent Southampton home with a good hiding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
