I see 8 points there.
Under sherwood ?

Yes. A good performance today whether we win or not could be the start of seeing the team click and gel as we hope they will. That should lead to 3 points v Swansea. Spurs and Everton are not beyond us and I can see 4 points there. I also think we'll get something out of Man City - especially if Silva and Aguero are out and Delph is in.

It starts with today, though, and I've been waiting for it 'starting' every week for around the last 5 games. If we're 1 down after 3 minutes and 2 down after 11 I'll be calling for him to be sacked in line with just about everyone.
Ok fair enough. I hope you're correct I just cannot see it.

You have just assumed that we are going to lose one of those 5 games. Pathetic pessimism IMO!

Like i've already said elsewhere, I don't think overall the perfomances have been that bad anyway. We've just been extremely sloppy.
Really ? Stoke at home was bloody awful!

I thought Liverpool away was the worst. The scoreline flattered us a bit. Stoke wasn't good but I didn't think we were terrible.

We completely rode our luck against Bournemouth also.

That was always going to be a tough game though and it was.

The puritans are eating funny shaped turnips again. He's got ecumenical matters at hand.

Okay. Definitely not the Puritans? or Prussians as auto-correct is desperately trying to tell me.

I agree. We've seen some superb attacking play in small doses. But... The back 4 especially Guzan have been as sloppy as Jordan's clacker all too often. That's where we should be concentrating all our efforts.

What is our plan here?
Must be some attacking formation we never seen.
1-2-4-2-1 maybe? Pull sweeper at halftime for more attack and an 2-4-4 wide double diamond (sure something like that can be set up in Fotball Manager) ?

Set for total mayhem, +5 goals ...epic loss, kickstart Chelski winstreak, save the special one, press conference that put Hollywood to shame and get BR next week...
