Under-pressure Steven Gerrard has been urged to rip up his Aston Villa script by Micah Richards amid rising unhappiness from supporters.
The former Rangers boss has lost three out of four to start the season and the Villans' next two fixtures are against Arsenal and Manchester City. The 42-year-old and his players were showered with boos after their insipid 1-0 defeat to previously winless West Ham on Sunday.
And the latest setback - set among rising tension from Villa diehards - comes ahead of a double-header against the top two teams in the English Premier League. Former England team-mate Richards is convinced Gerrard can turn it around, however, he has told his old pal the time is now to flip the script. Richards reckons the pairing of Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings isn't working at present. He also reckons Gerrard's record north of the border shouldn't be used against him amid his current struggles.
