In that situation, do you think he goes into the game knowing if they lose he’s out of a job?
It’s just very quick to react after a game.
In the changing rooms will he be saying to the lads, ‘that was my last game, I’m out of a job’.
Always intrigued me the quick firings after games.

Not much surprise, but surprised how badly he's done. Career could be over before it's started!

It's not quite a year is it? They were much the same under Smith. They have two expensive injuries but frankly the players, with one or two notable exceptions, are pinching a living. He might need to go down to come up but Villa are a basket case just now. Those players need a rocket up their arses.

Someone put on the BBC website referring to Gerrard being sacked, that clubs should only change managers during the transfer windows. That would be interesting.

Have some good players but a lot of rubbish also Martinez, Konsa, Digne, Ramsey, Luiz, Coutinho, Ings and Watkins is the nucleus of a top half side at the very least. Certainly shouldn’t be struggling for goals.

Certainly not a side that should be looking over their shoulders at the bottom. I know a bigger club than us by far but you could do a great list of awful Villa signings compared to ours in the Prem also.

Slow, ponderous and being kept in the 11 by Gerrard to Villa’s detriment. Gerrard gambled a lot to get him and it clearly was a mistake but I think he just had to try and make it work as he’d set his stall by Coutinho. Villa fans much prefer Buendia to him.

I tend to think it's very fine margins with teams like Villa. At that level a couple of big signings which don't work out and you are already treading on thin ice. I don't think it makes Gerrard a crap manager. It's whether he can learn from this and start with a clean slate somewhere else.

I think that would be interesting. Maybe clubs would put a bit more thought into who they are hiring and the whole structure around management would be more considered. Would never happen in a million years but would make it a lot of fun.
