His argument is that he came in half way through the season and inherited a mess.

To my mind, deeply concerning though what we have seen thus far is, he has to get a window and a season to be judged fairly.

But it is monstrously depressing watching the same players make the same mistakes over and over.

Exactly where I'm at.

The players just aren’t as good as we perhaps think. Same group got Deano the sack with some inept performances. Phil isn’t signing either on our current form

Tell me what he is trying to do.
It’s like a series of 321.

He is trying to benefit from width from wing backs without losing ground in midfield by playing wingers.  He is trying to craete space for our world class playmaker by playing him at the top of a midfield unit.  He is trying to be aggressive and progressive from the back.  But when your players make basic errors in key parts of the game you're fucked, regardless of the fucking manager.  We need better players.  Full stop.

Oh for f**ks sake. Really. How many more managers will we get through?
Until we find the right one.


But if you only give each one 6 months, it could go on forever.

Not saying out yet but….
Ignoring their lucky strike in the 3rd minute Gerrard’s set up played them off the park except for poor finishing Spurs should been buried. However once again a better coach sees through Gerrard’s tactics counteracts and it’s game over and SG did nothing about it. ATM SG is long way short of what we need.

18 months and he'll be a Sky Sports pundit and we'll be left with a load of his summer signings that we cant shift.

Nonsense - far too early. Doesn’t mean I’m happy with how we’re going, but sacking the manager after half a season is bonkers.

Konsa's form has collapsed, SJM's form has collapsed, Ings can't score, Doug is poor week in week out and any team spirit appears to have vanished. Something is badly wrong.

Why play a system your players can't play?

Does that mean we have to spend another few hundred million?

I did wonder if there might be the first Gerrard out comments on the Steve Gerrard thread but seeing a new ‘Gerrard out’ thread surprised me a bit.
I think it’s a bit hasty but honestly, my gut feeling is that he’s going to do fuck all here and I’ve thought that for a few months. We did have that little 3 match run but otherwise been absolutely wank since the new year.
Leave him in till the summer though at least.

Edit - well end of the season anyway

Sadly I'm out. Tactically stupid and has made some of our albeit limited players even worse.

I'd probably be a bit more understanding of what he's 'trying' to do if he didnt bring Ashley Young on every week. He's Sherwood Mark II.

Was a big defender but this is unacceptable. The season finishes after 38 games, not when you hit 36 points. As manager it is his job to get 38 performances out of a group of very well paid players.

Just to add, if SG does indeed end up going before the end of the calendar year 2022 then I think Mr Purslow will also have to go.
