I do think Gerard speaks brilliantly in interviews / press conferences.  I really hope he can get the team to pull a few big performances out for the rest of the season and put his money where his mouth is.

Even with the touch of breeze block Watkins brings more to the table than Ings, we can't get up the pitch when Ings is playing on his jack.
I disagree.  But I guess I'm in the minority, including Gerrard as Watkins seems to be keeping the shirt.
I disagree too. I’d currently be picking Ings over Watkins.

Booing after a 2-0 win? If you say so.

Still trying to work out what Gerrards style of play is. Some of our players are not on the same page.

The facts are clear. We have 30 points from Gerrard's 22 games and we had 10 points from Smith's 11 games.

It's not been fantastic but it has been an improvement and it is rather pathetic the way some of our fans are determine to misrepresent how things have gone to further an anti-Gerrard agenda.

but you write as if its been clear - in Dean's 87 games in charge while we were in the PL, he amassed 100 points or 1.15 ppg. Gerrard has amassed 30 from 22 or 1.36 ppg. So on average, an extra 7 points per season.

The reason some of us dont see it the way you do is that we were told when Dean was sacked that it was because we were not progressing.

If this is what progression looks like, what was the point?

No not so clear. We are still languishing in around 15th and there was a period before the last two games where SG delivered 13 points from 15 games and that after adding two world class players to his armour. So our current status is nothing to write hone about.

Totally ineffective a bit like this stile.
