Steven Gerrard found Aston Villa sack chants 'tough' to take as downbeat boss delivers ominous verdict on his future

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Steven Gerrard admits hearing Aston Villa 's furious fans turn on him at Craven Cottage was hard to take. A section of travelling supporters chanted "we want Gerrard out" and " Steven Gerrard, get out of our club" as their side went down 3-0 to Fulham on Thursday night.

Villa had Douglas Luiz sent off in the second-half and conceded a hotly-contested penalty but their overall performance was meek on a night where they badly needed a result.

Villa have won just one of their last eight Premier League fixtures and sit above the Premier League relegation zone only on goals scored.

That form has piled the pressure on Gerrard and proved the final straw for an away section who furiously demanded the former Rangers boss be removed from his post.
