Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

Indeed, we now ARE a team very much in Sherwood's image: all hustle, bustle, toil and (no) trouble (for the opposition)

Tbf, what did people expect??

We sacked AVB because we felt he perhaps wasn't going to turn things round and perhaps got a job way above his station when considering his experience (according to the red tops).

But then we hire someone with even less experience??

Sad thing is that most likely our failings and lack of nous will be masked over by talk of how 'we gave it our all' and 'we battered them' even though we had 2 shots on target out of 17 attempts (or should I say "attempts") and we'll have the same dunderhead approach against Soton and Liverpool.

Wouldn't surprise me if we lose those games both by 3 or more: they'll certainly put more effort into than Arsenal today (who I thought were tired and lethargic but seemed to play to a specific gameplan to keep us at arms length after the early goal) and will go right through our soft centre.

I also have to say Sherwood's conduct is now beyond embarrassing as well

Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

Spot on about him being out of his depth tactically and emotionally. His subs today absolutely killed our momentum. Get him out, he almost had me fooled with our wins against the lesser teams, but hes being found out, and the attention hes bringing on himself isnt doing anybody any favours.

Yeah, he's probably trying to be Mourinho and 'take the pressure off the players'.....apart from when he goes up against Mourinho of course...

Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

Yeah, great article, sums it up perfectly for me.

The weird thing is that the U21 squad that Sherwood built with Ramsey & Ferdinand, played 4-3-3, played controlled possession football with a plan and a pattern and were great to watch.

I don't know if that was in spite of Sherwood, or down to Sherwood and he's letting the pressure of the job and a need to distance himself from the previous regime, get the better of him and prevent him implementing that kind of plan, but what I've seen from Sherwood is just Tony Pulis basic crap.

Its no wonder we get beaten by all the big teams. He's just so out of his depth tactically and emotionally, its cringe worthy to watch. Some of the crap he comes out with in the press is horrendous too. I mean comparing Harry Kane to Wayne Rooney, seriously?

Can we fire Sherwood? I just want to see some kind of sign that next season is going to be anything other than horrendous. This season has just been a massive ****-up.

Alex Inglethorpe built that team over 6 years. Timmeh was only in charge of it for 15 months. Ramsey was U16 coach.

Get him out now. We need to have someone named as new manager at the start if the summer. That way the players, those who are considering leaving, will know who would be their manager if they stayed.

Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

Not unexpected from me, I mean Tim's first ever stint as an EPL manager, I think he's done well but still has to learn if he wants to find a way past the top 4. Personally I think he's shown he's got a great platform to move on managerially, but unless I see something radical in his mindset and set up of teams, I still wonder about his tactics at the very top.

In our pursuit of the CL Promised Land, it'll need someone with more nous - also someone with more time, which we don't have or want to give.

Unlikely if we're grabbing one of the World Cup bosses.

Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

I have admit that I was sucked into the whole 'he knows the club from top to bottom' argument but f'ing ell I haven't clue as to who or what Sherwood is. The outbursts and gilet throwing are getting beyond absurd making Paulo Di Canio a lot less isolated. Soldado finally gets his goal but is then put on the bench for the next three games and is hardly used. Chadli is played as the number 10 and so forth.

Please Levy, bring in Van Gaal, I'm not just being sucked into the whole 'big name manager' band wagon. He has literally done the lot, has the mentality of a winner, proven track record and has a reputation for leaving a philosophy that leads to future success i.e Bayern and Barcelona.

We need someone to drag us kicking and screaming to success and think Van Gaal is the man.

Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

our players should be lucky to be on the bench under tims watch.
wouldnt make world cup first team if i were their national coaches.

and please bentaleb... sherwood will not learn until he commits a mistake that loses us the game and destroys this young players confidence...he's good but not that good yet, some prudence please!

Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

How much worse can we get right now? I'm still to see a playing pattern under TS and - apart from Ade and maybe Eriksen - most players are now playing worse.

Even Sandro - our lauded DM - is far too up the pitch in games and often offering little or no protection to the cbs. His positional sense has now become so so poor.

Little pass and move and once an attack breaks down most players are just standing before casually ambling back.

I am seeing NOTHING in terms of what coaching/methodology that TS is bringing. It quite LITERALLY seems to be just to "run about a bit."

What a waste of a season this has been - and I fear that it is about to get MUCH worse!

Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

He may not be the right man for the job, but I like him, I like his passion and some of the players need telling it isn't good enough or embarrasing in public. Nothing wrong with that IMO.

The whole ball throwing incident was poor, but **** it, if the players showed the same balls we wouldn't be getting dingdonged by 5 goals once a month.

Basically he's a caretaker manger, every one knows it, I think he deserves a bit more respect for the job he's doing.

Sorry but it's posts like this that mean English football will always be held back: showing passion = being good at football.
So losing 5 goals is always about 'not showing some balls' and nothing to do with tactics, coaching, systems, how they are applied and how good players are?

Well there you go...

He is getting a huge fat pay check and his first experience of being a head coach. That is all he should get. I don't think he deserves our respect at all. We have lost three games in a row with an aggregate score of 8-1, we have just lost to the Goons for the THIRD TIME THIS SEASON without scoring (two of which he presided over), he dingdongs around with the line-up, doesn't play Eriksen in his best position then takes him off for a player that could get on the end of one of his passes. We barely scraped past Cardiff and his histrionics make our club an ever bigger joke every week.

The only respect he deserves is for making the gilet a topic of conversation again.

It won't matter with LVG as it's 100% confirmed he's leaving and Hiddink is taking over.

Low and Klinsmann have both just signed new contracts with their respective countries and Prandelli is due to sign a new one any day. So none of them are realistic options.

Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

I don't dislike the guy, I like his passion, and I think in years, he'll do well. But THFC shouldn't be his learning ground. I'm so ****ed off we didn't convince Rogers to come here, after we got rid of Rubber face.
I just prey we get someone who has a system, who can maximise what we have from our current personnel. I think the Benfica game really brought this some to me, more so than other games in which we're lost.

Exactly right, if we wanted to give it to someone who came through the system then it should have been Inglethorpe as he had the coaching badges and actually coached our youth team, not saying he would cut it or not.

True, but it also means he'll be busy when he should be conducting transfer business.

Though I think he'd be free on august 31st, so not a massive issue.

Sorry but,.. give over you tart...

Whats your hang up with being English, what's that got to do with it, why would you mention that, it's your hang up not anyone elses.

And last weeks capitulation at Chelsea had everything to do with bad attitude, **** all to do with tactics, please tell me otherwise. It's your forum to prove me wrong as I clearly am with your victriotic reply.

Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

I suppose one positive is that Sherwood is at least failing hard enough that there is no chance he'll get the job beyond this season. Levy will have most definitely made up his mind to get a proper manager in for next season. Bring on Louie Van Massive-Nut.

Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

Turned to my Dad today and said, im not sure who he could bring on to make things better here as we are currently dominating...he could actually make it worse. Then I saw Siggy take his tracksuit off. He actually managed to get Siggy on for Eriksen without making that actual Substitution. Comical. Who's advising this guy. Also - has he fallen out with Robby? Left out for Kane on Thursday, and brought on today after Siggy when we had been losing for 79 mins already.
