Good Ebening! - The Aston SeVillaReal Thread

Leicester did exploit it in the first half, they were well on top and had 3 or 4 chances to score, which they squandered. If they had gone in 3-1 up at half time, Villa could have no complaints.

I do like how hard they work under Gerrard. He seems to have infused that in them.

What were the Gerrard’s “Home Truths” to Villa players?

Yesterday’s was the only game I watched after Stevie took over and it was very impressive. I still think it’s still the new manager bounce doing the mojo. I want to see where Villa ends up by new year.

They both look absolutely thrilled in that thumbnail

Thanks for posting. Listening to Gerrard speak I have to say I’m underwhelmed by his tactical stuff. I can see that he may be a solid man manager - at least while the team is not failing - but he (perhaps deliberately but I don’t think so) gives off the air of a man for whom football is quite straightforward. Might help getting the message across but I wonder what he will do when his tactics don’t work and - beyond being guided by the players - his talk about wanting defenders to think less about the team but more about just defending like in the carra days didn’t impress. I don’t know if he will be ready to manage liverpool after Klopp.

Give him some time.

He’ll need some transfers to get his vision across.

Learned from his time here and a pinch of Mourinho in 2014, he knows what irritates Anfield.

:joy:

Going on his team’s performance yesterday , I don’t want him anywhere near managing us in the near or mid future.

The definition of a knee-jerk reaction.
He did what he could with the resources available to him. Would you have wanted him to be a future Liverpool manager if they’d attacked and lost 5-0?
Give him time, he’s only had a handful of games.

Far from it mate. I’ve already said the same thing long before yesterday’s game.

If we really want to go down the path of appointing a club legend as manager , then buyer beware.

Just look at what happened at Utd. Do we really want to be saddled with an inexperienced manager for three years out of sentimentality and misplaced loyalty ?

Ole is not inexperienced.
He’s just plain incompetent and terribly deluded.

Sorry, but you wrote ‘going on his team’s performance yesterday’.

I agree that just because you were a great player for us, doesn’t mean you’ll be a great manager. I remember Souness, and the Rangers connection is far from reassuring.
