• Footage has emerged showing Aston Villa fans were done with Steven Gerrard long before the sack
• The former Liverpool midfielder was dismissed after 11 months in charge of the West Midlands club
• Villa are only above the relegation zone on goal difference, having won just two games this campaign

There were hints that Aston Villa fans were done with Steven Gerrard hours before his sacking on Thursday, October 20.

The Villa fans completely turned on their manager during the clash against Fulham, with some resorting to hurtful chants to get their message across.

Villa have won twice this season and went into the game against Fulham on Thursday in danger of slipping down the relegation zone.

In a press conference earlier that day, Gerrard admitted he was living on borrowed time as Villa boss.

Thursday’s 3-0 defeat to the newly-promoted Fulham seemed to be the final nail in the coffin for Gerrard, who has seen his 11-month reign as Villa boss end.

As reported by SportBible, sections of fans resorted to brutal chants during the game in an open show of disapproval of their manager.

At some point, there were chants at Craven Cottage of fans singing 'We want Gerrard out'. Others sang in reference to Gerrard’s infamous slip as a player back in 2014.

In addition, some fed up fans continued with chants of 'get out of our club' while 'you're getting sacked in the morning' banners were displayed at the away end.

Barely an hour after Villa were thrashed by Marco Silva’s men, the club released a statement confirming the Liverpool legend’s departure.
