Steven Gerrard must get all of Aston Villa’s squad into his Culture Club if he is to succeed as a Premier League boss.
The former Liverpool and England skipper is under the microscope after Villa's dire start to the season at Bournemouth, where they conceded after just 118 seconds. A 2-0 loss on the opening weekend to the promoted Cherries has undone much of the positivity from an unbeaten pre-season ahead of Gerrard’s first full season of a new era in B6.
Gerrard has incredibly high standards from a legendary playing career and his successful start to management at Rangers, but getting all his latest players to share his values is proving challenging. Already last season’s captain Tyrone Mings has been stripped of the captaincy and replaced by John McGinn.
