Former Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has been urged to box clever by Tim Sherwood amid his bid to lift Aston Villa off the canvas.
The Liverpool icon has endured a torrid run of results at Villa Park but he and his players rediscovered their mojo during a spirited 1-1 draw with Manchester City on Saturday. However, their clash with fellow strugglers Leicester at the weekend is almost certainly set to called off after the passing of The Queen.
Former Villa boss Sherwood admits he's a major admirer of Gerrard but has sent a firm message to the 42-year-old ahead of a mammoth run of fixtures. Speaking to the Mirror, Sherwood said: 'When Stevie (Gerrard) came into the club I was really taken by him. He's authentic, always speaks the truth and I'm surprised at the start they've made. He's honest in front of camera, almost too honest a times, it doesn't pay to be too honest.
