maqroll Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Could see him back at LA Galaxy as manager. They like their flashy shiny things, and he's well liked there. Less of a cauldron and more room for error. He'll be fine. But he's licking his wounds tonight, for sure.

Failed to evolve in the last decade but is humble enough to be managing in League 2 now, could never see Gerrard do that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Hughes was a shit manager, I coincided he had an eye for a good signing, but still an awful manger. Overall, much like Steven Gerrard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the argument that you guys are making that mark Hughes is a good manager. But not good enough to manage villa.. my stand point is both mark and Steve are rubbish. Yet, steve will coast by on his playing rep, much like mark did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Comparisons to Bruce and Hughes are pointless. As much as I don't rate them (especially Bruce), they still are managers, albeit way past their best. Gerrard just simply isn't a manager. In my head I refuse to even accord him that basic level of respect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted October 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 24, 2022 Anyone else notice the goal celebrations from both Bailey and Ings had them pointing to their heads? Might that be a comment on Gerrard? Something about him questioning the players mentality? Bailey's post match comments about, energy, feeling alive, doing great things in the future too. 72 hours after Gerrard got the boot that's quite telling.

Wouldn't surprise me if Gerrard was berating the players behind closed doors for not having enough PASHUN because his shitty system wasn't working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Gerrard over twelve months slowly eroded away any self confidence these players had. Total energy zapper. Really stark seeing the change in attitude yesterday. I think now that Gerrard was totally out of his depth. He has total self belief and confidence but it’s ultimately flawed. You can get away with it the Scottish League but not the Premier League because it’s unforgiving. His “in game” ability to identify an issue and change it was severely telling over time. He just couldn’t see things or know how to change stuff. Edited October 24, 2022 by ferguson1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't they all just run around and be really good, like me, Steven Gerrard. It's easy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
