Jamie Carragher has urged Aston Villa to stick by Steven Gerrard amid mounting pressure on the legendary Liverpool midfielder.
Gerrard took over the West Midlands club last November and ended the 21/22 season in 14th position in the Premier League. The target this campaign was to push up the table and aim for European football, highlighted by the impressive permanent signings of Boubacar Kamara, Diego Carlos and Philippe Coutinho in particular.
Things have not gone to plan so far, though, with Villa currently 19th in the division after winning one and losing four of their opening five matches. Sections of the club's fanbase are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the state of play and are now asking questions of their manager.
