    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Sherwood Thread Glad that he'll get a chance. It would be funny if we had the people here all along to get us playing the way we want to be playing.

    Our high line

    Of course, it is idiotic especially with slow defenders. If anyone saw Brendan Rodgers post match interview he says that during the week they explicitly worked on getting midfielders running past our defenders to exploit the high line. West Ham did the same thing, didn't even bother playing with...

    Controversial poll

    And we collapsed again in the 2011/12 season almost as badly. Harry was a poor manager I'm afraid, Levy absolutely correct to sack him. What has happened with AVB doesn't vindicate Harry in any way.

    Where is it going wrong in attack?

    Capoue scored and assisted many more goals than Dembele last season though so I'm not entirely sure that's true.

    Where is it going wrong in attack?

    Honestly it's not, there are a litany of problems and they all stem from idiotic tactics. Our defense has been getting worse as well, not better.

    YOU are the manager

    Don't hold your breath, we are utterly useless at reinforcing the squad in the January transfer window. There are a bunch of good left backs available right now though. There are three gettable ones in the Bundesliga that I think could come in and improve our first team - Bastian Oczipka...

    The "Official" 2013/14 Other teams matches thread

    Arsenal always roll over at Old Trafford. United winning is no surprise but it doesn't mean they are suddenly good enough to win the league, I am still far from convinced.

    Andros Townsend

    Re: Official - Townsend Definitely isn't our most important player, that would be Lloris or Vertonghen imo.

    Andros Townsend

    Re: Official - Townsend The interesting thing I think is that Townsend is more skillful than Bale was, probably better at beating a defender actually but in terms of end product Bale is light years ahead. When Bale played on the left his crosses were usually very dangerous and he could often...

    January transfer window wishlist

    He's good. Would prefer Draxler for our left wing but Konoplyanka is an excellent player. If we are going forward with the inverted wingers style I think we need really talented, creative ones which he is. He's currently being managed by one Juande Ramos lol.

    AVB - I want him out now!

    To me it seems a bit like wishful thinking, because to be honest we didn't see any improvement in the quality of our attack in the entirety of last season. It was pretty poor last season as well (though not as bad as it is now), but if anything our ability to create goalscoring chances regressed...

    AVB - I want him out now!

    It's a bit funny that every player we sign (especially strikers) come here and start to deteriorate in their abilities lol. To be fair it's not just since AVB arrived, it was before that as well. A fair amount of the coaching staff is the same as it was then which might point to the problem. I...

    AVB - I want him out now!

    Yes I think probably. You can't have a team competing for the top 4 score 6 goals from open play in 11 games and look dire in attack with no sign of improvement and call it doing a good job. I'm willing to give him more time but for ****'s sake we better see some improvement.

    AVB - I want him out now!

    He was probably their worst player, I'm not sure that proves your point though. Maybe Wanyama won't come good at all, I mean he was playing for Celtic last season which doesn't really mean he was playing against top quality opponents. National team managers have to figure out how to get a...

    AVB - I want him out now!

    I think our best team is but not when AVB is picking players like Sigurdsson and leaving out ones like Lamela. Also one of Southampton's strongest attributes is their fullbacks, who get forward and create width for the team far better than our's do (especially when Rose isn't playing). I...

    Andros Townsend

    Re: Official - Townsend That should open up space in the middle of the pitch if we could move the ball quicker though. It's up to the players and AVB to capitalize on that situation, it should be a good thing for the team if he is getting triple marked (which he was). IMO the problem is that...

    AVB - I want him out now!

    I downloaded and watched Southampton's game against Hull (and have watched a few other games they've played this season). They actually are similar to us in a number of ways - how vigorously they press and win the ball back, how they play a fairly high line, etc, but they are so much better at...

    This current teams vs Harry's 2011/2012

    Our current team is far better imo. I think that because IMO, Eriksen will be better than VDV was, Lamela will be better than Bale was two years ago (his last season at Roma was better than Bale's season in 2011/12), Sandro/Capoue are both better than Parker, Paulinho gives us a type of player...

    Christian Eriksen

    He replaces Modric AND Van Der Vaart at the same time. Which makes room in the midfield for the magnificent Paulinho. Exciting times.

    Ratings - Norwich

    Not sure why you put "us" in quotes, but ok. Calling one of our best performances in ages unspectacular and rating our players at 6's and 7's when many of them were excellent just suggests that you don't appreciate a good performance. You may not be such a person, but I've noticed that many...
