Jamie Carragher has insisted that Steven Gerrard could have no complaints about being sacked as Aston Villa boss with the club hovering just above the relegation zone.
Gerrard was let go on Thursday after a dreadful defeat at newly-promoted Fulham, having only taken over 11 months ago. After keeping Villa in the top-flight last season, the current campaign quickly went bad for Gerrard, with his side winning just twice.
His relationship with the fans also turned toxic, with many loudly calling for his head after the defeat to the Cottagers. While Carragher remains close friends with Gerrard, the Sky Sports pundit pulled no punches with his assessment of Villa's decision to sack him.
