Alot of talk on social media today that we don't plan to replace him in the summer
Only way I see that happening is if the club is committing to a serious investment in bringing players he wants and that they see current (possibly to be sold/let leave) players as being the issue rather than him.
From the outside looking in, it looks more likely the coach would go before players though. Do think what would save him is winning the CL.
Only thing I am pretty sure about is that he will make it to June as head coach or rather that the only way he will not be head coach until June would be if he quit.
Yeah but all that is pretty worthless as a manager if you cannot make it translate to what you are trying to train players to do, to how you want them to set up within a team.
Yes he had a great career, yes he will be a LFC legend now and long after he has passed on, but that counts for almost nothing when a team needs to be set up, have tactics explained/created for them, have in game changes made on the fly and so on.
Not so sure that the fans singing Gerrard's song during games is worth an awful lot in a game where we need tactical tweaks or what Gerrard being a great player does for getting MacAllister to be less **** and so on.
He was badly shown up as being a really poor manager at Villa, even more so after Emery came in and was able to make effective tactical changes with the same squad straight away. The same legendary player whose record demands respect from players line was being trotted out when he got the Villa job too.
I really do not see what he brings as a football manager. Might as well get Fowler in to be the manager if all it takes is having been a great player years back. Plus they can get to meet Gerrard the ex player almost anytime he is at a game and most probably have met him a number of times.
Think we need a manager that is a boss to the players and who gets their respect through what he has done and can do as a manager. As a guy that sees how to improve them, as a guy whose tactics gets them medals and sees them get a win bonus more often.
At the moment imo we need a manager that can motivate the players and get some passion and desire into the side. I do think it's that simple, the talent is there but we look mentally and physically fragile. I don't know if Gerrard could inspire, I'm not a fan but Arne Slot clearly can't.
