But just two years ago, when Gerrard arrived, the gulf was massive. we were taking 4-0 and 5-0 defeats to celtic. Yes, the Old Firm teams spend a lot more than everyone else that's why both teams currently top of the league table and will be for the rest of the season. It's a two horse race again. exactly.

How many games did he manage and how many points in front was he, to you, is an 'implication' that the league was wrapped up. Holy fuck. He never done it himself, Rodgers built up the lead and Lennon took over. The posts I quoted you originally on this subject had no mention of Rodgers. 8 point lead when he took over, we win the game at parkhead it's down to five points with seven games games remaining including the return game at Ibrox, he still had plenty of work to do to get them over the line.

The topic is Gerrards record away to the bigger teams.. Everyone's slaughtering it when infact it's not any worse than Walter Smiths. We all know where Gerrard is failing... it's the games against Hamilton, Livingston etc. Failed to win only 3 times in over 10 games against Livi and Hamilton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 21 minutes ago, Iakona said: None of that matters here.. the crux of the matter is it's not easy to go these grounds and pick up wins. Even someone like Smith and all know how and experience struggled. Why are we expecting a rookie manager who arguably has a tougher job on his hands to do any better? Gerrards issue is been dropping daft points to the likes of Hamilton. Not his away record against the "best of the rest" Switching to the 4-2-3-1 and bringing in more attacking options is to help us break down 'the block'. So we should be scoring more goals and breaking teams down with more ease. I suspect the more conservative 4-3-3 will be used only in Europe and the Old Firm games. Only time will tell and there's still some transfer activity to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 20,361 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Lennon should get all the credit for the 18/19 win. He only had an 8 point lead with 10 or so games left. He done the hard bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know where Gerrard is failing... it's the games against Hamilton, Livingston etc. Aye, but what I'm saying is that the context for both records matters. For me, it's the games in which we're under pressure and need to deliver. The games that come when we're level with them on points, or briefly ahead of them with the opportunity to put pressure on. That could be Hamilton and Livingston, or it could be Kilmarnock and Hibs. The outcome is always the same, so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has won trophies in part because he works with a team who have undeniably mental weight in their favor which leads to the circumstance in which they win trophies. I am not at all invested into the idea of evidence to suggest he is a better manager than Gerrard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
