brummie Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Jamie O'Hara sticking up for Gerrard in true English-manager-worship mode “It actually really annoyed me. It annoyed me because they obviously downed tools for Gerrard. Look, Aston Villa are a good team with some good players. But it annoyed me that the energy and performance they put in is kind of where you need to look at yourselves then as players,” O’Hara said on TalkSPORT. “The mentality within the group, because you’ve obviously showed that you downed tools for Gerrard and his coaching staff, and that’s not right. Gerrard did everything he could to try and get results and when you look at it, nothing much changed massively, it was just the effort changed.” So, basically it was because they didn't like Gerrard. Nothing to do with Danks dropping players out of form, players who Gerrard never dropped, and nothing to do with him playing 4231, which we've been begging Gerrard to play for ages, yet he never ever changed things.

Abacus Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 You could predict that kind of response to the letter once Villa bounced back. "The players need to take a long hard look at themselves" type of comment. It's from the usual pundits who will just put everything down to 'heart' and 'desire', as if a manager's only job is to throw in a few soundbites ten minutes before a match and then give it over to the players. Just like with Bruce, there are too many people who are either his mates or had predicted he'd be a success and so now either can't or won't admit they were wrong. I watched Gerrard's last game in charge, looked at how disorganised Villa looked, watched him on the touchline staring cluelessly, and then listened to his cliche ridden press conference after. The parallels with Bruce were incredible. It's even more frustrating when they ignore the views of the thousands of fans who watch every week, follow their team through thick and thin, know their players and spend their days thinking about the team and tactics, debating it with their friends etc. But no, they're all wrong and deluded, and you should listen to whatever half sentence the likes of Gabby Agbonlahor manages to string together that day instead.

Emotic Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I'm a little bit torn that the rise of modern, hardworking, thinking-man's-managers like Potter and Howe is coinciding with the obvious failures of PFMs like CabbageHeed and Stevie Me. On the one hand, the clueless "pashun-driven" PFMs will no longer be able to con as many cycles of grift that the past two decades afforded Bruce. On the other hand, somebody will then have to provide entertainment whilst taking their clubs into and around the relegation spots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
