Brighton and Hove Albion attacking midfielder Adam Lallana has sent a message to his former Liverpool teammate Steven Gerrard on Instagram following his appointment as the Aston Villa manager.
What’s the story?
Gerrard has been appointed as the new manager of Villa.
The former Liverpool midfielder has left his managerial role at Rangers and has taken charge of Premier League club Villa.
Gerrard’s first game in charge of Villa will be against Brighton.
The Premier League game will be held at Villa Park on November 20.
Brighton attacking midfielder Lallana played with Gerrard at Liverpool, and he has responded to Gerrard’s message on Instagram.
Big job for Steven Gerrard
Villa have a good squad, but they are dangerously close to the Premier League relegation zone.
Now, we do not think that the Villans will get relegated, but it is clear that the players need to step up.
Villa have lost their last five Premier League games, and Gerrard will have to get that sorted.
In our view, Gerrard will do a good job at Villa, but we should give him time and should not expect immediate results.
