Aston Villa manager, Steven Gerrard has come out to say that he understands the frustrations of the club’s supporters after defeat by West Ham made it three losses from four games this season. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he heard the fans boo the team at the end of the last match and he has been in the game long enough to know that only victories make the supporters happy.
Gerrard, however, added that no one is more frustrated than him currently, and he intends to fix the issues soon.
His words, “I have got two ears and I hear a lot of things,”
“I heard the fans’ frustration and last time I checked my ears were still working so, yeah, I pick up on everything.”
“I’ve been in the game long enough. If you lose three games out of four it is not the start the supporters wanted and certainly not the start that I wanted, so of course I understand.”
“We certainly share our supporters’ frustration and there is no one more frustrated than me,”
“The only thing we can do now is act and try to put it right. I am all in to make that happen and my staff are but it has to come from within the players as well and the players have got to really stay together and find results now to move us up the table.”
“We’re frustrated at the moment and we haven’t put enough points on the board, certainly for the players we have got in the dressing room.”
“Our return hasn’t been enough, I’m aware of that and in terms of moving forward we have got a choice.”
“We either feel sorry for ourselves and it continues or we roll our sleeves up, stick together and try to put it right. I need to lead that and that is what I’ll try to do.”
