yup they've looked very tidy. Wish KWP could get a run on right so he didn't have to cut in every time

kwp particularly, he's shown impressive strength a couple of times where he's had to hold off players, physically he's still got a bit to go but he's definitely getting there. josh started off a little loose but grew into the half and made a couple of driving runs setting up good chances for solanke and calvert-lewin.
this ref needs to let the game flow more though rather than calling everything as a foul, the first 35 minutes were so stop-start.

Would be better for KWP to be on the right yes, but Kenny on the right is arguably this team's second best player behind Onomah.

i think posting links is against forum rules, but if you search for the game on facebook, you should find a stream.

Obviously its not over - and he is playing on the left - but I don't think he is ready yet for important matches defensively.

Did anyone else hear what Jenas had to say (on 5-live football daily - the one with Rose) about Sherwood's relationship with AVB. Pretty much bang on what many of us had assumed. Jenas said he was constantly in AVB's office getting angry and telling him who he should be putting in his squad on match days.
Rarely can you guess what goes down in football clubs so accurately as I'd have guessed (and have speculated on here many times) exactly how this went down. It's great that an academy director is pushing for the kids to be integrated, but there's doing things the right way then there's doing things the Sherwood way which, you can just imagine, just has the completely reverse effect and alienates those who you want to influence.
And he's a hypocrite as well, because once he'd introduced Bentaleb and he was playing well, as soon as his job started depending on it, he dropped him for no real reason despite his "I can trust him" bullshit.
