Gerard's gaffes

[dave.woodhall]

47 injuries? Are you sure?

Seems to stack up according to that link.

From Cuellar on August 6th through to Dunne on March 4th, cumulatively it's 47 injuries.

Christ, that's even more than I would have thought.

Gerard Gaffe number 11,147: loans out Fonz, who then scores more goals in 5 minutes than Heskey could manage in 5 matches.

Yet Houllier is the worst kind of scum for deciding to play him in the match against Man City.

So we don't want him playing and we don't want him loaned out. Gotta feel sorry for the kid.

What do you mean? Playing him at point instead of Heskey against City would have been fine. Playing him to replace Downing or Albrighton was mental illness.

Heskey was thrown around like Thai whore in jailhouse gangbang by Citeh's centre halves, Christ alone knows what they'd have done to Nathan.

Stop digging, if you're going to slag off the gaffer then at least be a bit more selective.

That's exactly what I thought when I looked it up, scary isn't it.  I'm not saying Gerard hasn't made mistakes but that many players missing during your first season is going to make things tough.  When we had a few games in Jan with a near full squad to pick from we started to look well capable of pushing up the league but then we lost our defence again and have fallen back a bit.  We should have some back for Wolves all being well which will hopefully make a difference again.

I wonder what his next gaffe will be?  Dropping Bent for Heskey.  Or Heskey at CB?

If only it were that simple, Simple.

Indeed.

If only we were playing Hull City in the Championship.

That would've been useful last weekend

Patience Paulie, patience!

GH should hire from  Martin Laursen to work on our defence

A thousand Yes's

Martin Laursen might be a really shit coach though.

Just five hundred yes's then

Having just seen Laursen's quote regarding NRC on Pravda, I pray he never gets the chance to work as a coach at Villa:
 
"He can see those runs and get forward to create chances and score goals."
 
Eh?!
