Steven Gerrard in Survival Battle for Villa Future

In the first 45 minutes against Chelsea at Villa Park, you thought there might be a chance of salvation for Steven Gerrard, if he could get something from the game. Failure to do so would turn the pressure up to maximum and any games to come would be proverbial must-win games.But is this more than just a Steven Gerrard problem? Bar a 10-game winning run in the Championship and a play-off final, the club have been a non-entity in English football for far too long. The last decade has been largely depressing for supporters. Do the current owners need to do a hard reset, if they are to have any chance of matching the often advertised ambition and continuous improvement?We discuss the current situation in depth, as well as catch up with the latest Villa news, Three Points, Media Muppets and Reasons to be Cheerful.UTVGET AD-FREE SHOWS, THE EXCLUSIVE MOMS PATRON PODCAST CHANNEL and JOIN MATCH CLUBIf you want ad-free advance versions of the shows and extra exclusive shows during the month and to join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club, please do support the show by becoming a MOMS Member.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberFollow the show on Twitter at @myoldmansaid and join the show’s listener facebook group The Mad Few.T-Shirt, Mugs & Merch Listeners can now buy a MOMS Podcast T-shirt or mug to show their support of the show and look cool, check out the MOMS SHOP to buy.Credits:David Michael - @oldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comBecome a MOMS Member for ad-free & extra shows -  MOMS MembershipJoin the show’s listener Facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid  | Chris Budd - @BUDD_music / Phillip Shaw - @prsgameThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.
