The tension of real life management is showing on Steven Gerrard.
Life a year ago with the Liverpool u-18 side must seem very appealing as he attempts to deliver on the expectations and demands of the gullible.
Whipped into a frenzy by some fortunate results in the Europa League Sunday’s 1-0 defeat from Aberdeen was a very unwelcome reality check for the Sevco support.

Gerrard had helped whip up the hysteria by constantly going on about the traditions and history of a club that went into liquidation six years ago.
The tribute act has a single Petrofac Cup win to it’s name, since Mark Warburton’s side caved in to Hibs in the final of the 2016 Scottish Cup Hampden has become a graveyard for Ibrox managers.
Pedro Caixinha and Graeme Murty have been sacked within the last year with the reality of failure starting to effect Gerrard who bizarrely gets labelled as a proven winner from his playing career.
Having slated his signings after the defeat from Aberdeen he needs those players to respond with a win tonight against Kilmarnock.
Spin and hype certainly helps sell season tickets but as every manager knows it is far easier to sack a manager than get rid of players sitting on fat contracts.
