Fulham – Villa; Has he been sacked yet?

Well, apparently not and we can only wish.

The first thing Steve Gerrard mentioned in the Email I got from the club today mentioned how we’d got no new squad problems because Cameron Archer is fit after suffering from a bug at the weekend.
Why he even bothered to mention that, I really don’t know, as if the lad gets on the pitch it’ll probably only be for a couple of minutes anyway.
In fact, not playing Archer when Watkins and Ings are so ineffective is just one of the reasons I want him gone. If it’s the case that the manager doesn’t want to risk the kid losing confidence because of a poor game or something, that might be acceptable, if only he would come out and say that.
But it just seems like he doesn’t rate Archer at all and his comments to the Brum Mail reporter regarding Archer just heightened my disdain for him even more.

You never know, now that I’ve said that, maybe Gerrard realises how close to the bullet he is and will actually give Archer a good half an hour or so. Then again, I doubt it.

And then, the fact that Lucas Digne might have done a bit of training on grass today apart, I really couldn’t care less about what he has to say.
Which is some state of affairs. I even listened to Alex McLeish, even though I really didn’t like him.

So given that I’m finding it hard to even motivate myself to watch the game, which is on Prime video,
I’m going to give my guess as to how the game will go.

We’ll huff and puff and maybe even create some chances. We have have yet another boatload of shots.
But I don’t see us scoring more than one, if that.
And given that we still look prone to conceding, whether through Mings’ errors or not, I think we’ll concede more than one.
Hence I’m going for a 2-1 defeat.
And if it happens, I don’t know how I’ll feel.
I don’t want us to lose, yet a defeat would put Gerrard another step closer to being gone.
Which would be a good thing.
