Alway slooked sullen and barely able to put two words together in his younger days, couldn't adapt well to a different style with England for a long time, so never took to him. If he decided to turn up, he was brilliant, but plenty of occasions - especially for England, he just didn't look that up for it. Never tried to widen his horizons either, by looking for new challenges later in his career after he had won everything with Liverpool, like Keegan and other Liverpool players before him. Even now, he is only managing other teams so he can get back to Liverpool. Can understand the adulation by Liverpool fans for one of their own, but other than that, underwhelmed by him.

AJ 1,218 Posted November 11, 2021 Good chance for Stevie G to prove what he can do in the PL to put himself in the hat for when Klopp departs. As for us, nothing changes, we need to be careful in appointing the right person to keep us up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Villa seem a bit like that lot down the road, only much more up-market. Whatever they try, whoever manages them (Lambert, Sherwood, DiMatteo, Bruce,) whoever they buy (McCormack >>> Buendia?) never seems to quite come off. I've lost track of investors. Everything eventually goes bananas. Smith has been their most successful for some time. For a club of their stature, support, facilities and history I feel that they should have become established among the big boys long ago. Not keen on them, though, and favoured the Blues when living there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Mass Debater 1,081 Posted November 11, 2021 3 hours ago, Jeremy Pymer said: I hope that for both the club and him, it goes well. I have always admired him, not only for his football, but the way in which he has conducted himself. It's possible I'm poorly read, but I've never heard anything untoward about his private life or the way in which he deals with colleagues or opponents. Can't say that for some others. Just one reservation - that things going well for them doesn't affect the Canaries in any critical way, especially this season.

More funds I’m sure for Gerrard in January to complement the quality already there. You prefer Brum ? along with Wolves fans they know how to intimidate when visiting the West Midlands.
