Gerrard In or Out?

[Clampy]

I'm crestfallen at the lack of righteous fury on display so far. This brazen admission of his is heinous.

Was really hoping he'd surprise me and wax lyrical about the Sultans of Ping FC.

Thumping at the disco...

Wait a minute, wheres me Suarez?

And it's 'Dancing at the Disco'. Stop getting Sultans of Ping Wrong.

I know. But then I couldn't have got a slight joke in about Gerrard smacking somebody in a Southport nightclub so it wouldn't have made sense.

Their later single Michiko is a lost classic. I believe it was Stanley Victor Collymore's favourite song of 1993 (the band's singer was a huge Forest fan, they may have met).

Not a lost classic in my house, they were one of my favourite bands of my university years, along with the Franks.

I re-watched the first half of the Spurs game yesterday, and we really were utterly dominant and played some excellent football. I was at the game with two Spurs-supporting clients and even though they were 1-0 up, they were watching that half through their fingers.

Don’t understand this. Everyone knows the most successful teams win when playing badly (like Spurs in the first half) whereas the least successful lose when playing well.

We need to win first, then bring the style after. Gerrard understands this.

He isn’t delivering it yet.

Sometimes teams win when when playing badly. Sometimes they lose when playing well. Most of the time though, playing well and creating chances means you've got a good chance of winning the game. The performance compared to the Arsenal game when we played like drains was like night and day. We could have had five or 6 in the first half, easily, but a combination of bad finishing and great goal keeping meant we didn't score. Ramsey's dance into the area and shot was good enough to win the game on its own, absolutely brilliant bit of skill.

Yes, he probably is. He doesn't deserve it though based on what he has "achieved" at Villa.

No doubt you were arguing for Smith to not be backed in January 2019 as he didn't deserve it either and you were calling for his head after a 3-0 abomination at Wigan. Then  the continuation of a dreadful run into February just put the cherry on your Smith out cake didn't it.

Didn't it?

People need to get over their Smith obsession. He's gone. Probably rightly so.

As for now, we aren't doing well enough, and nothing on Gerrwood's failed managerial CV suggests we will get any better. I was hoping I'd be proven wrong, but, sadly, it remains a pathetic, starstruck appointment based entirely on his name and playing career.

The way to fix the mistake isn't to throw hundreds of millions at it, buying players that his October/November replacement won't necessarily want, it's to get rid of him this summer and bring in an actual manager. And get rid of Purslow, too.

I think your 2nd paragraph probably tells us you're not worth engaging on the point further.

All of this.

Personally I'd rather lose playing well than lose looking like we deserved it.

If the performances are there results will follow.

Exactly.

I'd rather we just play brilliantly AND win. Call me a maverick, if you like.

It might not work out with Gerrard, but it’s too early to tell and I think it’s odd to state he has a failed managerial CV.

One trophy from nine with his previous club is not a successful CV in the context of the (new) Old Firm.
