rbcuk Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 1 minute ago, david-avfc said: I watched his interviews last night and it is scary how devoid of tactical knowledge he appears to be, his response to the awful performance "we need players to step up with moments of magic." With tactical insights of that depth it's no wonder we aren't scoring, aren't creating and otherwise just look all-round clueless when in possession. Ultimately he's been found out now, he is out of his depth and doesn't have the required skills tactically or man-management either from the looks of it. The club needs to cut their losses immediately because best case scenario we scrape a result in the next game and so on and we just limp on and on until eventually enough is enough, if he is this devoid of tactical understand Exactly he’s doing just enough to keep his job, which is shocking how the owners are allowing this shit show to continue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Thought he would be gone by now. Frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Just looked back to last season when he took over. He got off to a very good start. Gave the big teams a good game too. Form dipped a bit near the end. Overall though I was pleased with how we were. Results have been frustrating this season, very frustrating . I think the biggest problem I have is performance levels as we seem to be getting worse. Our performance levels from those first few Gerrard games we’d be much higher up the table . I’m trying to find the positives in him being our manager still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be the manager, pick Coutinho and watch him score a wonder goal every so often. The fact he seems to think this is the thing letting him down is both worrying and Laughable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would give him more time if we were making progress. The problem is that he seems to have no idea how to structure our attack and doesn't see that the problem begins with the midfield. No reactions left but this exactly! He has no idea how to set a midfield and attack up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would! 9 points from 9 games in the 3rd easiest fixture list in the league, he’s got 18 points in the last 20 games. The results/points alone gives him the boot, add the 15 minutes ago, TomC said: The problem is that he seems to have no idea how to structure our attack and doesn't see that the problem begins with the midfield. with 7 goals in 9 games, last night an xG of less than 1.0, never mind all the other problems like out of form players….it should be a no brainer that he should get fired. For me, the results alone gets him fired. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longer Gerrard stays in charge the harder it will be to undo the damage he’s causing to the Villa brand and possibly out place in the league. Believe it or not the Gerrard brand did a lot for the club in terms of our brand . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 8 hours ago, a m ole said: To be fair to you, I actually thought the players were particularly poor last night. Regardless of the managers set up we should have done more against them. Not a lot of credit to dish out last night. equally, I am tired of defending, what is appearing to be the indefensible. I have mustered arguments, to defend our manager.....but the repetition of turgid football is taking its toll....whether, its the manager or the players or both.....something has to change, and change quickly. The same noises are repeating themselves after every game.....that is not a good sign, I have heard it all before. As you may know, I don't like changing managers, I believe in continuity and still do......but the offerings are embarrassing. something has to give. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Just now, MrSmirch said: Such as? A renowned world class player coming from a successful stint at a huge club like rangers. Villa became more fashionable when he became our manager. More people became interested in Aston Villa whether it be papers, tv, social media, other fans in uk and abroad.

TRO Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 8 hours ago, viivvaa66 said: The football have been the same for a long time, it isn’t like yesterday was a one off. Maybe it have become more obvious how rubbish we are, but this season we have not played one match where the performance could be called average, it have all been bad. Even matches we have won, the performance have been poor. Not sure how you are going to hound him out after he have left, but do your best. I find it shocking that the club haven’t sacked him yet, because now it seems to be clear to everybody that there is no future with Gerrard. I think the performance and result against Man City was above average.......but on the whole the football has been depressing. I don't like changing managers per se......but we can't run with this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 43 minutes ago, villaglint said: I saw a table made today which covered Gerrards time as manager. It had us as 9th. Difficult to believe but I guess it’s that which is keeping him hanging on right now. The issue with that is it lacks the context of the games and teams he has played have been generally the weaker ones. We still have the best teams in the league to play. It won't end well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
