Dr T has pulled the trigger

[exiled on the wirral!]

How's he talking shit?

We are looking worse by the game. He's in full on Sherwood mode. Today was our Stoke at home "let's try 352, because I'm fucking clueless and grasping."

We average a point a game, in a shit, shit league. We seem incapable of winning and that's the ingredients for a season of toil, struggle and potentially, relegation.

Or perhaps he tried 352 because he is struggling with injuries as many of his new signings are unavailable..The Stoke comparison is pathetic. .Martin O'Neil had 3 or 4 seasons with that team.. Di Matteo has had 8 games.

Stoke last season, Sherwood, tossing out another attempt to buy a win, it was clueless.

What injuries prevented him from playing 442 or 433?

I'm on about Stoke last year you Wool.

Stoke under Sherwood is what I think he means.

You can stop that for starters.

Look at the standard of the opposition, though. This league is choc full of awful sides yet we look every bit as frail as we did last season.

When does it end?

Apologies for the wrong Stoke game...what injuries?..Are you serious?

He's from Over the Water, ergo he's a Wool. He'll know what I'm on about, it's hardly offensive.

Adomah is on the bench, Bacuna is adequate at full back and he had two left backs in the squad. If he'd have wanted to play 433, he could have.

Any surprise that we play that formation and fail to hit the target?

Why did what we had available today mean we had to play 7 defensive minded players? He's shit his pants already.

I'm not particularly arsed if he stays or goes to be honest.  The football and the associated results have been rotten though, and it doesn't look like there's anything as basic as a plan.  Sooner or later the excuses are going to have to stop.

The last sentence is the most depressing bit. It just never ends. We've been on this miserable downward spiral for what seems an eternity. And we've spent a shed load of cash in the process. We are all just so tired and weary of it.

I know exactly what it means, you're not the only non Scouser to know what a woolyback is, now pack it in. I won't ask again.

Quite.  For the first time, he plays a formation and personnel with attacking wing backs that might have got the best out of Gestede, so he leaves him on the bench.

Gestede wasn't available today was he?
