I've loved having Gerrard as manager. I wanted it to succeed more than anything. But this collapse is on him and I genuinely think he already knows he's done, and the players know it too.
I would agree about knowing he's done, except that doesn't explain the European form. A team doesn't go out and beat Braga home and away because they are done with the manager. You don't come back from 2-0 down to one of the best teams in Europe form wise, and not be able to score against a side bottom of your domestic league.
The explanation is that we have a team of players who think they are too good or precious to be bothering their arse playing in Scotland. There is no way they bottle every 50/50 like that if Hearts had been Hëârts.
