Villa fans chanted ‘we want Gerrard out’ as their side fell to a dismal defeat to newly promoted Fulham. Just minutes before his dismissal, Gerrard vowed to fight on in a four-minute post-match press conference.
‘It was a tough night for me personally, but I’m a man I accept it, I understand it, I share their frustrations and pain and I’m someone who’s honest,’ Gerrard said.
‘I know they’re certainly not enjoying it at the moment. I’m certainly not. You know and I know I’m in a very different position right now. I’m a fighter, I’ll never ever quit anything certainly when it comes down to football or anything in life, so we’ll see what happens moving forward.
