The 16th round of the Premier League officially began, Villa challenged Norwich away, Ramsey ran a long way to break the goal in the first half, Watkins scored a goal that sealed the win in the 87th minute, Villa won 2:0, under the leadership of Liverpool star Gerrard, Villa looked up and down.
Since taking office, Gerrard has coached a total of six games, with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses, scoring 12 points, while the only two games lost are Manchester City and Liverpool. Villa's ranking has also risen directly from 15th to 9th, which not only greatly alleviates the relegation crisis, but also looks forward to entering the European theater.
Villa, as the dark horse of last season, sold the midfield core and captain OfGraish this season, but they still brought in several players such as Buendia and Leon Pele as reinforcements, but under the leadership of Dean Smith, Villa's record was not outstanding, and even approached the relegation zone. Villa had to fire the manager who had led the promotion, and then used a £3 million penalty to poach Gerrard from the Rangers. Originally, some fans believed that although Gerrard had a good record in coaching at the Rangers, after all, it was just the Soviet Premier League, but Gerrard did not disappoint the fans, he responded to people's doubts with 6 rounds of 4 wins, and also proved that he was not a "fish belly manager".
Recently, Xavi and Shepchenko, two legendary superstars, have also joined the new owners, but their record is the opposite of Gerrard, Xavi coached Xavi for 7 games, 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, the winning rate is only 28%, Barca is also out of the Champions League, the league is still not improving, and even behind Real Madrid by as much as 18 points. As for Shepchenko, 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses, the results are also average. In contrast, Gerrard's 4-win record in 6 games shows that he is even better. It is reported that Klopp's contract with Liverpool will expire in the summer of 2024, when Uncle Scum will leave Anfield, and Gerrard is the next Liverpool manager potential. Of course, Gerrard will also have to come up with his due report card in the next three years before he can officially return to Anfield in 2024.
