Gerrard In or Out?

[artvandelay]

If we’d appointed Neil Lennon instead of Gerrard, and had identical form since, would more people be calling for him to be sacked or would we still be saying give him a window?

Give him a window or 2

[Goldenballs]

I'd throw him out the nearest window.

I wouldn’t be calling for him to be sacked. I’d question why we hired him in the first place.

Hard to say, Gerrard's not a ginger though.

or you could kick him through the window like Shaun Michaels did to Marty Janetty.

People have turned very, very quickly, in less than a month for some and in the case of others, more waiting for a sticky patch to voice what they've wanted to since likely before/as he was appointed.

All academic and for the breeze mind, as he isn't going anywhere and will be heavily backed in the summer.

One of my neighbours is a Celtic season ticket holder. He reckons anyone could've achieved the success Neil Lennon did mainly because of the Rangers  situation for some of the time. He doesn't look back on Lennon's reign nostalgically.

Their might be an element of that but the most concerning thing is that there has been little or no consistent improvement in the form of most individual players. Cash and Ramsey have impressed. Coutinho obviously also. But that's it. One of his big signings Digne has been distinctly underwhelming too. Defensively we are a shambles without the ball.

Is the reality that our recruitment has been shambolic for the last couple of seasons particularly last summer? If it is then surely Lange or even Purslow has to go. Did Grealish make any amount of players (McGinn, Watkins, Traore, Luiz) seem better than they actually are?

The club seem set to bet the farm on another big overhaul of the squad this summer that the new structure with a DoF was meant to prevent.

Think that last statement is probably the biggest concern - for the first time under NSWE there has been a disconnect.  Something in the setup has gone wrong

I think we've been consistently mistable since he took over. We're never far out of games that we lose, but we do some incredibly daft things.

Marv isn't a panacea, but I think he ought to make a difference. Luiz has had a good 45 minutes in months, Mings does daft things, Konsa's form has dropped. Bailey hasn't been fit and hasn't looked up with the pace, Digne is forever breaking. Our strikers have been in horrible form all season, McGinn has been poor, with brief moments for a long time.

We need to harden up defensively. We have been saying that for a long time and under 2 managers. We're never going to get consistency with these players. We couldn't under Smith with a world class one, devoid of a Grealish as we have been, that's always been unlikely since. Regenerate the spine and you can carry more players, but you won't grind wins or draws out with the spine we have.

Those claiming he wont be fired before the summer transfer window - we have 7 games left - if he loses them all, he will most certainly be fired. I don't see us getting any points against Liverpool, City, Palace, or Leicester - so it looks like he needs to win Norwich and a H/A against Burnley. Both are fighting relegation.

You want to bet he wont lose all 7 given the complete lack of plan, style, belief, or momentum???

If you think we're going to lose the next 7 in a row, lump on.

Him being manager next season and backed heavily over the summer is imminently more likely than any other scenario on this thread, no matter how much doomladden wish fulfilment people may wish to engage in.

[Richard E]

There is absolutely no chance whatsoever we are going to lose 11 games in a row.
