Gerrard since joining Villa

[Ally]

This would be a good thread to keep tabs on/discuss the career of a former manager who a fair chunk of us wish well. Being ruined by one particular dickhead though

 

[HandsomeHead]

Fair play to him today, an excellent point.

I hope he can build on it.

Agreed

 

[DylanGer]

Glad SG got a point in a very hard game.

Great point against a very good side who were in top form.

 

[Fife flyer]

After 6 games.

Going well.

I was replying to someone else’s post and the context is important

 

[HowdenEnder]

Robbed of a great win by a dodgy decision.

 

[Danny Wilde]

Excellent point today. Pleased for SG.

Good result tonight.

Not really, no. A more experienced/better manager would have won us the league in the 1st or 2nd season and picked up a couple of cups.

We’ve had more experienced managers and we were a laughing stock in Europe after spending millions.

We now have a great name again in Europe thanks to Gerrard.

What did I say negatively about his European record?

You never praised it either but just concentrated on the failures of the domestic side.

I thought I would counter that by showing our European profile escalated under his leadership while building a squad to win the league.

Strange fans want Gerrard to fail in England but also cry when people say anyone could win the Scottish league with Rangers.

Actually, I have.

What he done with us was amazing he turned our game around & our players

I hope my answers were suffice and I'm a bit disappointed that an admin threatens a ban for simply having a different opinion

It’s not about your opinion, it’s about the fact you deflect when asked a direct question.

Your obsession with Gerrard is weird. I appreciate what he done but it’s history and that’s that.

Good result tonight.

Very good considering the form/results of both but in particular Villa competed very well against one of the best teams in the World.

Arguably shouldve won the game as well.

 

[Blootoonboy]

Say what you want about Gerrard but that result simply doesnt happen with him in charge.

I would even say his post match interview would be far different from Gio’s too…”We take it on the chin”

You should have started with an apology and to reimburse the loyal fans who had to sit through that.

They should be embarrassed to lift their wages after that "performance" yesterday.

What?

 

[Noddy]

What?

Expecting him to win the league in his first season was pie in the sky stuff considering where we were and where Celtic were. Totally unrealistic.

I said 1st or 2nd season and I stand by it. The gap had been closed by Christmas 2020, we never won it after that because Gerrard's team bottled it.

Or maybe a brand new team and manager done well to be in that position in the first place at Christmas.

Brand new? He'd been in the job 18 months by Christmas 2020

What a feeble excuse.

His first season. And he was never closing the gap on Brendan Rodgers and that Celtic team (who'd been over the course before and together for a while) in 18 months.

His first season he got a pass because he was a rookie, his 2nd season we bottled it.
