There were boos at the final whistle from the travelling supporters, plus alleged scattered chants of ‘Gerrard out’, and Villa’s failure to beat a team who had been on such a wretched run will do little to ease the growing pressure. It is now just 36 points from 32 matches since Boxing Day, and this was another disjointed performance against a team who had been haemorrhaging goals since their return to the top division. Nottingham Forest halted their alarming run of five successive league defeats to move off the bottom of the table, but Gerrard’s Villa appear to be wading through treacle. Gerrard’s future remains under scrutiny from frustrated supporters despite a fourth Premier League match unbeaten, with the Villa manager spared a more severe inquest after a goal from Ashley Young, a player aged 37 years and 93 days. Steven Gerrard is still waiting for Aston Villa’s season to spark into life and the big question is how much longer the club’s hierarchy is prepared to be patient.
