Steven Gerrard says his players deserved the credit for Aston Villa's climb up the Premier League table since he took charge of the Birmingham club
Steven Gerrard has said his players deserved the credit for Aston Villa's climb up the Premier League table since he took charge of the Birmingham club.
Villa had lost five straight league matches and were just two points above the relegation zone when Gerrard left Scottish champions Rangers to replace Dean Smith, sacked as manager in November. "I had confidence and belief that we could come in and have the impact that we've had," said Gerrard, who brought several of his coaching staff with him from Glasgow giants Rangers.The former Liverpool and England captain added: "Once I started talking to Villa, the very first thing I did was look at the fixtures in the short-term.
Under Gerrard, Villa have beaten Brighton, Crystal Palace, Leicester and Norwich while losing narrowly to title contenders Manchester City and Liverpool.
