Steven Gerrard will step up his plans for a summer shake-up at Aston Villa after his side’s latest “painful” loss.
Villa crashed to the biggest defeat of Gerrard’s reign in a 4-0 thumping at home to Tottenham. Villa were unlucky to trail 1-0 at half-time after creating lots of chances. But Danny Ings, who has just five goals since a £25million summer move from Southampton, scuffed two good openings.
And Ollie Watkins failed to hit the target with a free header from six yards which left Gerrard visibly frustrated on the sidelines. The Villa boss was also unhappy with his side’s defending as he rued having to wait until April 23 for Villa to put their display right away at Leicester.
