This is morally acceptable only if 1) THFC doesn't make profit this year, and 2) doesn't pay dividens. Alternatively, it should pay salaries to employees (and the state) after the crisis is over.
Sherwood probably assume that we don't need a destroyer in the midfield against Fulham. However, leaving our best player out despite being fit tells tfirst time clearly that our manager has lost his credibility unless the club doesn't want to take the risk that Sandro gets again injured.
No DMC may still work against Sunderland but then it must be Paulinho and Eriksen in the middle and Chadli on the left. It would be understandable if Dembele is injured. But if it doesn't work Sandro must replace Kane. However, Chadli in the middle and Eriksen on the left would be a double...
Without watching the first half how an earth Bentaleb and Sigurdsson start ahead of Sandro and Dembele. This is where Sherwood lost the game in a big picture. Added with Kaboul mistake and Jans injury here we are.
Not bringing in Coentrao and a top LW, and the slow inclusion of Lamela for whatever reasons, has cost our season unless we'll win all the remaining games.
Good tactics if it was meant to concentrate on league, which would have been clever. But why send our first team in the middle of Ukrainian revolution and to sacrifice Norwich game?
Eriksen is wasted on the left. He should play in the midfield of 3 to create chances. And then put 3 forwards Ade, Soldado and Chadli to score and pass each others instead of long ball and wing play.
Lennon or Townsend to Pastore or equivalent is a must to challenge the title. Also Adebayor of last year for Chicharito or equivalent and BAE for Coentrao (because the type of LB AvB favours) would still be needed. And I wouldn't be against neither Defoe for Vadillo or equivalent young striker.
EITHER Bale stays and Coentrao (for BAE), Alderweireld (or equivalent RB/CB), Willian and Damiao (or equivalent for Adebayor, if he leaves) and possibly Pjanic for Sigurdsson + Lamela for Lennon OR Bale leaves and Lamela, Pjanic (or equivalent number 10) , Coentrao, "Alderweireld", Willian and...
