Gerrard In or Out?

[Risso]

Yep, just a ridiculous agenda that’s now been shown up for what it is.

43 points with four games remaining, two of which are against Palace and Burnley.

33 points from 23 games compared to 10 points from Smith's 11 games.

The anti-Gerrard thing is clearly personal and not based on evidence.

I think you need to drop your obsession with Smith's 10 from 11. I am sure we can pick a very bad 10 or so games run  about Gerrard as well. Both out managers this season have ben worryingly inconsistent.

The massive difference being Dean Smith’s 10 game form would have got us relegated because it was getting worse not better. Shit most of 2021 and 5 straight defeats would have us where Watford and his new team are today.

As I said you can not capture a moment in time and project it a full season so fans need to drop 10 from 11 and just concentrate on where we are now and where we need to go.

You seemed to focus quite a bit on Gerrard’s four defeats without concentrating on where we needed to go.

[cdbearsfan]

The Smith obsession is weird.

Anyway, much better last two games. I'd still like us to at least give Liverpool/Man City a decent run for their money before committing myself too much, but he's done his cause a lot of good in the last fortnight.

It was the right call at the time. Very worrying for all of us. I am please he has come out of it but really needs to avoid similar runs.

[Footy-Vill]

Beating relegation threatened sides we shouldn't get carried away.
There are signs of quality at times since he's been in charge as well as signs of not so much.
Will have too see how summer goes and look forward to the new season.

Unless he'd bummed their missus or something why would any fan have an agenda against their teams new manager?

It would be bizarre, and seems equally bizarre to believe some fans do.

[Sexual Ealing]

It's not an agenda. It's just that some people doubted that his experience and achievements warranted him being given the job. His record since he arrived hasn't done much to assuage those doubts

[Chris Smith]

He deserves a lot of credit for today. He showed some flexibility in selection, which hasn’t always been the case, and it worked a treat. Now let’s keep it going over the last 4 games.

[Clark W Griswold]

Yeah I didn’t detect any kind of agenda either, just impatience from some that I didn’t altogether agree with but wasn’t massively surprised with either.
He was certainly heading towards big question marks being valid based on the form before Leicester but as I say he’s now thankfully pretty close to have done enough for ‘more time’ to be completely justified

agreed

[Risso]

Nonsense, there has been a clear and obvious agenda from a small but very vocal minority on here.

[charlatan]

Would be a bit pointless having an agenda given the general lack of influence.

[john e]

I got on board pretty early with Gerrard but I don’t back him unequivocally

As for agendas so what
If people don’t like him fair enough
I hated every minute Steve Bruce was in charge from the very day step through the door I had an agenda against him so I’m not going to criticise those who feel the same way about Gerrard

It’s a free world people can like and not like whoever they want
