Steven Gerrard: Aston Villa have to stick together
Steven Gerrard called on Villa to stick together after defeat to West Ham continued their poor start to the season.
Pablo Fornals’ deflected second half strike condemed Villa to a third loss in four matches, ahead of games with Arsenal and Manchester City.
Gerrard said: “We have a choice. We can feel sorry for ourselves and it continues, or we roll our sleeves up, stick together and try to put it right. I need to lead that and that is what I will try and do.”
Villa are trying to sign a defender before this week’s transfer deadline and have been in talks with Southampton over a deal for Jan Bednarek, while West Ham’s Craig Dawson has also been linked.
Out-of-favour winger Anwar El Ghazi is close to joining PSV Eindhoven in a deal worth around £2million.
