Sherwood has gone!

[EastLondonYid]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm calm, I'm just concerned when I read shite like that.

ironic you can't see how shit Tim is.....lets see where we go with him, i hope i am proved wrong and am prepared to say so....but i will be astonished if Tim is a success with us.

It pains me , as anyone on SC who knows me knows i go back along way with LES..BUT..i won't put my past relationship with him above Spurs ...and i think Tim,Les and his team are out of their depth...IMO

 

[E17yid]

I do, I don't think he was very good at all, but that didn't really make a difference to how the game went. Our best passage of play was the 15 or so before half time, before Capoue came on. I think he was pretty labourious, but probably a reason for not playing much.

I don't think he played to his full potential but he was better than Dembele, bentaleb, Sig and Lennon IMO. I thiught we looked ok for the first 5 mins of the 2ndf half (before the pen) Everything after that, as you say, was a bit of damage limitation.

 

[FinnYid]

I say it as politely as I can:

AVB was a **** and his football was tripe beyond imagination. It would take an huge effort to go backwards performancewise (results were decent) from that.

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

It's really not.

Swansea away = not bad?

Soton = Ade saved his arse?

Come on, you might not be Sherwood fans but there's actually more nonsense being spouted about him than there was about Redknapp.

Swansea we settled down reasonably well to be fair. Southampton we were so shockingly bad and disorganised in a defensive (including the midfields defensive inability) sense. Attacking wise it was a decent display, especially Ade. But to have a good performance, doesn't just mean gung ho in my book, personal preference perhaps.

...but less than was spouted about AVB *

*this isn't an invitation to discuss AVB merits again it was purely trolling. I apologise.

 

[yido_number1]

Jesus we got beat by an unbelievable team that are smashing everyone... move on!

 

[EastLondonYid]

I honestly can't believe how anyone could claim such, it's beyond trolling. It's a flat earth society of footballing opionions.

Drama queen.

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

Then again there is one good game and one not bad mentioned on rather small bunch of games, that's a huge hike on performances of AVB this season. That is if you look our performances under AVB, not the results.

I didnt fucking mention AVB you clown. Because I have reservations since Sherwood took over does not mean I am praising AVB. Stop referring it back to him, my arguments are at the moment based on what I see in the present.

Edit: I take back the clown comment, that's mean...

 

[FinnYid]

Fuck me if Capoue was pants then I dread to think what Bentaleb was. The pen wasn't a pen

It wasn't a pen, but it was great play from Rose and abysmal from Capoue. Hadn't Rose made that tackle it could've been 2-0 still for bad play by Capoue.

I don't actually think so, and it's one of the things that really winds me up about 'the Brigade', there isn't a manager that had more support than AVB from the fans.

Yes and No to be honest, the first 25 minutes was a lesson in what we can only aspire to be at the moment, it was pretty good from City. We fought a little bit back into it and whether or not the goal was or wasn't offside you wouldn't have begrudged us going in level, the atmosphere in the ground and there was certainly no hint of booing or anything at half time, just clapping which made a nice change.

The second half did us, the red card ended the game as a contest and it was pretty much damage limitation at that point. We had a decent spell after getting one back which lasted about 5 minutes but again the crowd were right behind the team. Then the 4th went in and 60% of the ground left!

For me, there was some decent-ish things, and some puzzling things, eg the selection of Sigurdsson and Bentaleb got absolutely overrun. We also had to take Dembele off at half time which didn't help, he was the only one able to break through City with his drop of the shoulder.

I had a bet on us winning, as I usually do, but if I'm honest with myself it's not one I was particularly confident of winning, no matter how much bravado I had before the game. City are exceptionally good.

if we had gone in level at half time it would of been daylight robbery, we should of been 5 down before we had our 1st attempt on target which was ruled offside.

when we had our little discussion a good few pages back, I said we will head back to the old days. we will go back to not beating top 4 sides with Sherwood, home and away. we will still get games we will slip up against, which we should win on paper.

his record before this game in the EPL was a great start, but apart from playing an under preforming Manure AVB, we would of expected to of had the same return with AVB with or without his boring style.

Tim's comments about not like using a holding midfielder shows his negligence, if we turn up against Arscum, Chelsum, and even Liverfools and play like last night we could very easily be looking at the same score lines.

the linesman was crap, and his 2 massive mistakes cost us, but if we had gone in 5-1 down we wouldn't of had any complaints, City made us look average, so god i'm so glad we are back playing "the TOTTENHAM WAY"

Cry me a river. The text you were quoting was referring to supposed backwards movement that has materialized since Sherwood took over.

 

[E17yid]

WHy do you only mention the bad things he did but conveniently don't mention that Bentaleb didn't do one single thing right all game?

Capoue did more good than bad IMO. He won ball, started off attacks and got a goal FFS. More than anyone else in our MF did.

Ade was our only stand out performer though.....and Lloris but even Hugo fucked up for the 1st goal IMO

I wouldn't say ironic, would say more 'difficult' considering the start he has had.

I'm not a Timbo fan at all, pretty indifferent at the moment and pretty convinced he wont be with us long term. But trying to start sentences with "AVB had his faults but..." is just nonsense. It's like thinking you were happier with your ex girlfriend who was less attractive and a fucking mental case, but you know...she liked it in the arse. You have a dirty wank over her every now and again when things aren't that good with your current shag, but you ultimately realise that no matter what happens with her down the line, you are well shot of the ex.

For ex-girlfriend, substitute AVB.

I think that's your bias again bear. I think you didn't see how much shit he got from your side of the debate because you were agreeing with it whereas now your spotting everything bad about Sherwood because you're 'on his side' for want of a better phrase. And I still have no recollection of anyone getting as short a shrift at the start of their tenure (especially in the stadium) as AVB.

Redknapp was a popular chap with a lot of fans and I think him being sacked counted for a lot against AVB.

But as I've said before, doubt we'll ever agree on that, you think I'm part of the brigade I think you're part of the Harry/Timmy fanclub so no point in discussing it again

Personally I think all our managers get a lot of shit.

 

[Spurs_Bear]

City made us look average, so god i'm so glad we are back playing "the TOTTENHAM WAY"

They are top of the league and have scored 112 goals this season. I said nobody would have begrudged us going in level with the best team in the country. What did you expect us to do? What no other team has done this season and have 60% possession and 12 shots on target?

I'm...not...biased. I honestly think you've been in a cocoon if you actually believe any of that is true. The bit in bold is pretty comical, and exceptionally inaccurate.

Sorry mate but you're talking bollocks again, I'm not on Sherwood's side, for someone who is such a good poster you don't half fucking wind me up.

 

[EastLondonYid]

I don't know where alot of you guys i'm discussing Spurs are from ....but where i work and live i bump into loads of gooners,chavs,pikeys etc....and they are all to a man delighted we have immediate future in the hands of Timm

Dig out the recent game between City and Liverpool to see not everyone gets arsed by City.

 

[chrissivad]

think this would be a good time for some people to take a couple of deep breaths

Not everyone gets fucked over by decisions and has to play with 10 men.
