Steven Gerrard
On 1 level, always sorry to see someone lose their job. But it is hard to see how this was going to end any other way.
He was there just under a year. 2 Transfer windows. Where he spent decent money. But there is a glaring omission. He did not sign a single forward.
Forwards at Villa? There are only 4. Watkins-who looks like he has lost all confidence. Ings, who has always played well in spurts and been in and out of pretty much every team he has played for. Bailey-who looks like he is playing in the wrong country. And Archer-who may have a bright future, but is not a first-teamer yet.
Meanwhile, under Gerrard, loads of forwards sold or loaned out. Keenan Davis, Wesley, Traore, Trezeguet, El-Ghazi. Leaving just the 4 above-who, frankly, don't look better than those out on loan. All while having 2 near-identical AMs on big money who could never play in the same team in Coutinho and Buendia.
Gerrard has been unlucky with injuries. But it is hard to see where the goals are coming from.
