Sherwood did a job for us last season but he's out of his depth, and we are in deep deep shit.

Last minute of added time.  Gil decides to play a short one and misses Grealish who is 7 yards away.  Stoke break away.;

Anyone who understands that when you dont have the ball you need to put pressure on the opposition with the ball.  We then wouldnt be letting teams walk up to 30 yards from our goal with no challenge.

If the same individual then understands when in possession of the ball your players not in possession of the ball need to move into space.

Oh and a quick throw in every now and again.

Gil played it short, other player totally misread it, so the ball went straight past him towards the d of the six yard box.

Right into the path of a Stoke defender who couldn't believe his luck, and promptly took it straight down our end.

From what I could see Sherwood sh@@ himself so played ultra defensive first half, followed that up by chucking attacking players on second half. They couldn't adapt from a back 5 to a back 4 quick enough and Stoke said thanks for the points.

Going to be another season of massive struggle.
