Some of our final ball quality is terrible. I'd like to see Gil and Veretout on.

I do get the impression that Sherwood is one of these managers who believes the team should impose itself on the opposition, rather than react to what they're doing.

I get the impression sometimes he puts numbers in a bag and picks them out at random when it comes to team selection.

Bacuna for Gil seems pretty obvious. Vertout for Sanchez might be worth a go too.

Kozak for Gestede too please!

I think Gil for Bacuna would be a good change at this point.

If you think that the manager is not responsible for the bad defending of the players that he selected in the starting XI you have a poor opinion of the coach's role....
Huh!

Players being humans, you know, like humans make mistakes, you pass the buck and blame someone else for an individual mistakes!?

Yes he's picked the back four, I think 99% of us would of picked the same....are we at fault for a misplaced pass and player turning Clark inside out? No...we're not.

Fuck, now I can't slag off Tim's tactics for the rest of this game.

Westwood really isn't an attacking midfielder is he?

We have been unlucky with injuries today, but a striker with movement instead of Gestede and we would be comfortably up at the moment.

Another poster said he was abysmal, it's wonderful what different fans opinions are
