For all Sherwood's bluster and bravado all week the end result was as pathetic as ever , if not worse , throwing away a lead , 2 shots on goal in 97 mins , a red card, shocking tactics , .
Just dire .

crikey   the blokes only been here a week or two and I agree about it being dire, but give Sherwood and his coaches a chance.

Not that we were very good at all. But I'm not sure we could blame the red card on tactics. It was an act of rash foolishness from Vlaar who's legs can't hack it at this level and who frankly should never set foot on the pitch in our shirt again.

He had one week to get a look at the squad. He deemed Westwood and TC weren't doing much. He put Sanchez in, who looked terrible. So first and foremost he's got a godawful situation in midfield to sort out. Whilst Delph has been disappointing all season. If he manages to get anything close to a bit of cohesion and quality in the middle, then the man's a genius.

But indeed, lets give him a chance to do it. We had started off alright but as we saw, confidence is wafer thin. We lost Richardson then conceded pretty quickly and never recovered. He's got to get a bit of confidence in these players. By the same token he's also got to bang a few heads together because some of these players are performing pathetically.

I said before that I don't think we lost because of the tactics, particularly - the back four actually played rather well apart from the two goals conceded, which were moments of stunning incompetence. It's more that the tactics didn't help us win the game, either by being effective in attack or in controlling the match.

Immense stupidity of Ron Vlaar cost us a point on Saturday. If you can play poorly and not get beat, then that is only a good thing. We were on course to do just that.

Then why name Sherwood in your original post?

Exactly. No, it wasn't great but that point could have made all the difference come May.

Because it's true. He gave it the big one all week "gabby on fire" etc etc . But Sherwood is a victim of circumstance so I don't hold him accountable . The tactic it seems was launch it up to the big man which again I cannot fault him for , benteke looks disinterested and lethargic and that's again not Sherwood's fault .

What do you mean he was 'giving it the big one'? What did you want him to say?

There's no pressure on us.  Not now we've been sold again provided we stay up.

[Des Little]

I hope that he's learned that Gabby and Weimann are a waste of time and Bacuna out wide and Sinclair off Benteke represents our best bet of creating something.

[OCD]

I would say Bacuna and Sinclair out wide with Gil playing off Benteke.

Sold again ?

maybe..just maybe Sherwood was trying to instill some confidence into Gabby ?  and Sherwood cannot play and make decisions for the players on the pitch as said earlier the back four apart from the two goals were great...which sadly cost us the game .
