They've gone and signed proven champions league players, and somehow Gerrard is turning them into championship players. He's a few losses away from being Villas worst ever coach, statistically.
I agree. Man for man, that team is very, very good. Bailey, Ings, Mcginn, Luiz, Digne, Coutinho, Martinez, Buendia are all players that could and should be playing at the least in the conference league/europa league, but it looks like Gerrard just can't get a tune out of them.Quote:

On a side note .. Chelsea are happy to pay 60 million for Antony Gordon from Everton.. Lads a good player with potential, but 60 million 😳 .. Its got Ross Barkley written all over it ..
Villa don't play McGinn in his best position so they're not going to get the best out of him.
is that true? I find it hard to believe. Shocking if it is.Quote:

57.1% Tim Sherwood
56.5% Remi Garde
52.4% STEVEN GERRARD
Should we lose to West Ham, Arsenal, and Man City, Gerrard will officially be the worst manager in our 148-year history.
He's been playing as a #8 for a while now, his best role. He's got plenty freedom to get forward he just looks shot of any confidence. It's not where he's playing, it's a case of a good player in a rut and the manager refusing to take him out if the firing line for a few weeks.Quote:

The players you mentioned all good enough for Europe but it’s looking like villa are still a couple players short,I think mcginn could do with another player in there with him to bounce off,too much expectation and the rest of that midfield looks pretty attacking in style.Quote:

Fully expect the bams to go through but here's hoping they get leathered....
But but but what about the co-efficient 😂Quote:
