Gerrard In or Out?

[Toronto Villa]

The individual errors are at a level that whoever the manager is, it’s always going to look this bad. You can have the best team talk and system in the world but when players are this poor and careless it’s not fixable. They have to go

Gerrard Out.

Can you add a poll please?

I was fully expecting this thread to be started by you know who.
1 point from 24 in games against the top 8.
6 goals scored with 17 conceded.
4 losses on the bounce.
If he loses vs Leicester there may well be justification in this thread given that was the losing sequence Smith had before he was sacrificed by purslow in the interests of progress.
As much as I've been unimpressed how we fare against Leicester, Burnley x2, Norwich and Palace will make my mind up one way or the other this season.
Regarding top 8 under our manager next season, at this point I just cannot see it.

He’s certainly no upgrade coach wise.  The thinking obviously was the material he could bring in.   Needs to be given at least one transfer window

[darren woolley]

I'm going to give him a chance to get his own player's in first and see how it goes next season.

Still too early for that but I wonder how many defeats on the bounce he can survive?

[enigma]

We could easily lose to Leicester who have improved which would be five losses on the bounce. Smith got sacked for that.

Having said that, I'd stick with him for now but he's got to shake things up. Keeps pretty much the same players and tactics every week and it just isn't working.

We seem to have spent the last few years saying every manager should be given a window or a season to sort goings out with the inevitable sacking finally coming. We are on permanent repeat.  I'm no fan of Gerrad as anyone managing Celtic or Rangers willh finish 1st or second. These are not bad players we have but how he can keep picking these same 3 in midfield is beyond me. Sanson didn't even play that poorly at Wolves and is immediately sacrificed. Gerrad will be given time and 150 million I expect but for me he was always a poor choice and no upgrade on Smith in the battle to get us into Europe consistently

Who?

[Scovilla]

Give him a chance to build up his own team. Some players need to go. They have done their time with us.  Douglas, Mc Ginn, Ming for exemple.

In - as a point of principle it’s ridiculous to sack a manager so soon.

[Risso]

They had 5 shots and scored 4 of them. The midfield is an utter disgrace but I can’t defend Gerrard as he keeps picking them.

Would you offer a new contract to Luiz? Not having a go but I know you're a fan of his.
