Steven Gerrard could soon face the sack at Aston Villa, with the Premier League strugglers targeting Mauricio Pochettino to haul them out of a tough spot.

While in charge at Southampton, he engineered an eighth-placed finish, the season after the Saints had finished 14th. It is believed that those games will decide Gerrard’s future, and that a result in only one of them may not be enough. The only loss he suffered in those four games was to eventual title winners Manchester City. However, the Villans only managed to string consecutive victories together twice, following that point. More recently, they drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest, who were dead bottom of the table coming into the match. Gerrard has not quite lived up to expectation during his time at Villa Park.

Liam Coyle speaks exclusively to the ECHO about being Steven Gerrard's first captain, working with Pep Lijnders and dealing with his release from Liverpool ...

It was daunting being in a new place because I had always been at Liverpool but from the get-go, everyone has been brilliant with me; the staff and the players. It would mean while the likes of Jones, Woodburn, Brewster and Alexander-Arnold were all grasping chances within the senior game - whether that be on Merseyside or elsewhere - Coyle was constantly looking to make up for the lost time in a desperate attempt to make the grade at Liverpool. Coming out of the pandemic I didn’t know where I was going to end up. "At one tournament he was saying to me, 'I don’t think you’re ever going to be a centre-half' - but I had played centre-half for him quite a bit - and he was like, ‘I need you to play centre-half for me today, you’re not going to be a centre-half when you’re older. "We got told in the pre-season that a coach from Porto, Pep Lijnders, was going to be the new under-16s coach and all the sessions were going to be videoed and sent to him. "I remember going into the office and I just asked Alex what my future held at the club," Coyle says. I knew a lot of the lads at that time were having back injuries but I played the full 90 minutes because I was having a bad game I didn’t want to put my hand up and blame my back as an excuse. Some of the sessions he put on were unbelievable and you could just see how passionate he was about the game." I really enjoyed working with him and I think that was because we had similar values on the passion to win. "It was in that Spartak Moscow game and about ten minutes in, I remember the ball went over my head and I jumped for a header and flicked it on," Coyle tells the ECHO in an exclusive interview. Gerrard would primarily take up a freewheeling position until the end of the campaign, taking in training sessions and matches, while readying for his first position in the cut-throat industry of football management. "I never thought of it like that, his first captain," says Coyle with a euphoric grin, recalling the moment he first collaborated with Anfield legend Steven Gerrard.

Rumours circulated yesterday evening after a website claimed Gerrard had been sacked by the club and would be replaced by Mauricio Pochettino or Unai Emery. The ...

"There is no side of me that looks at Everton in that way. Howe told Chronicle Live: "It wasn't anything to do with Everton, it was just a bizarre moment.
