Aston Villa Thread

Steve Gerrard Gerrard. He's a English manager so i hope he does well, but its up there will Ollie at the wheeeeel for me. Not sure what he has really done to deserve a shot at a club like Villa.

No more Blow Football at Villa then

[VinnysTattoo]

TBH, I’d be delighted if I was a Villa fan. Rangers fans must be spewing.

[Clacton White]

He never found a way to win without Grealish, that was the problem.

We've had similar issues under Bielsa.

First with Hernandez.

Now with KP.

And probably with Raph id imagine.

Remember their promotion season , mid table until Grealish came back , so reliant on him it's showing now . Poor side without , a player that is hard to replace . I think Gerrard has taken a huge gamble here , could tarnish his managerial career as Wankhard did at Chelscum( ) . Still Wankhard hasn'.t returned to management , seems linked to every job going though but it never happens , I think he was mentioned re the Norwich job but I think he would be suited more to Northwich Victoria .

Looks like he's still in the frame

Big gamble for Slippy Steve with this job , unlike the Rangers job getting the sack is a distinct possibility with this one . Being a Hibs fan in the past I've always kept a casual eye onthe Villa result due there being a connection with players like Alex Cropley, Des Bremner and more recently John McGinn moving from Hibs to Villa . It's a decent move for him but now he's going to be a medium sized fish in a very big pond with plenty sharks for company

Anyone else find this a weird thing for Liverpool to do?

Forgot all about this! He was probably just running at 50% capacity/level.

And a special word for Hernandez, god do I (and our team) miss him. Some of those passes in that reel there are sublime.

Knew there would be an excuse and tbf you're probably right.

[1964white]

Under Dean Smith, I felt Villa were heading for relegation after their recent performances, not so sure now!

Watkins scores a stunner, just goes to show what a Villa player can do by staying on one's feet.

Is Gerrard Villa's saviour?

[60sUnited]

I personally think that Gerrard will do a decent job and keep Villa mid table or above.

[mentalcase]

Don't mind gerrard, hate villa.

Aston Villa are in talks with Phillipe Coutinho over a loan move.

Done well on loan at Bayern.

Cant fault the ambition (this is another club who publicly stated they want European football).

Dont fancy the chances of a venture capital fund

That being said serious James Rodriguez vibes here and watched Countino a lot over his Barcelona years . . . This isnt 2014 Coutinho.

Class player, still only 29yo, may enhance his career back in the Premier League.

Would you or anyone else on here been happy taking a punt on Coutinho?

[Scoobychief]

very much a class player that will definately help pull the string in midfield for villa, im jealous could have done with him till end of season

[whiteswan]

Was always gonna join his mate Gerrard

[visitingvillan]

very exciting times ahead for us possibly
