What did Sherwood do wrong today exactly?

Considered lineup and tactics from what we have available, enforced changes due to what the players did on the pitch...

Don't see why he's copping the flak?

He selected that team for a start shall I go further?

I think half this team needs sacking before tim does.

Some of those players who played today were very good players under Harry. Are you telling me they became bad players suddenly?

I'd say they are too complacent of their places. Lennon knows he's in regardless. As much as I dislike Bentley, Lennon had competition for his place and had to try.

That is quite disgraceful tbh. Think all players and management involved in those debacles should all be fined a weeks wages

You don't see any other team getting smashed like that. We go a goal behind and give up. It's pathetic.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exactly. At some point they need to realise the game is up and personal pride should kick in to just kill the game and keep it respectable.

I dont believe for one second that the lieks of Lennon are not trying

Grandspurs...did you read the rest of what I wrote?

Was a good team selection from what we have available. Considered tactics against a team that don't lose at home.

It was a poor capitulation, but we got the same amount of points as most on Loyals prediction league had already accepted - fack all!

Our best cb (debatably) is also our best lb atm. Then we have 2 for ones to play centrally. It's a forced selection.

Siggy, Naughton and Bentaleb should not have been starting head of Chadli, Paulinho or Townsend

I guess Paulinho had a long travel but still Townsend and Chadli for Siggy and Naughton definitely

For ones (left over)

Lennon has been average for all but one or two seasons he's been with us. We've had him for almost 10 years and in all that time he hasn't improved. He used to be exciting now he's predictable and wasteful.

The fact we're still relying on a player after this long that hasn't improved just shows the lack of ambition of the club.

Lennon has been better than Townsend and chadli. If we're trying to play defensive down the right, there's no room for them if Lennon plays.

Bentaleb is a better point, him and paulinho arte interchangeable in my eyes. Though maybe he was just fresher.

and when it comes to team selection I would always play Fryers before Naughton as I consider Naughton as extremely poor.

Why experiment with Walker in midfield when at least his pace down our right is useful defensively and attack wise.

It was dreadful team selection full stop

Team selection was why we got to ht doing so well. Chelsea and city do the same thing with two fbs down one side, its effective for being solid.

Hardly an experiment, unless you think mourinho and pellegrini are rookie chancers as well? Remove the anti Timmy bias..it's not his fault we lost today.

Walker played right mid to stop Hazard who is pretty good and didn't do anything so that particular tactic worked Grand.

Townsend starts head of Siggy and Chadli starts ahead of Naughton.

Walker to RB back. Chadli through the middle.

Team more balanced... Width, pace and all

Sorry Holtby but Lennon has been no better than either Chadli or Townsend. Townsend was actually good value at the start of the season and playing the way I've wanted Lennon to for years. That was until he started becoming found out with his 'shoot on sight' routine.

We desperately need better wingers or hope Lamela can get better.

Had Chelsea carved us up like Liverpool did then I would agree you Grand but all 4 goals were due to individual mistakes. Sherwood is in the clear as far as I am concerned.

I have never read so much garbage in all my life.mourinho and pellegrini do it with players of a lot high standard than Naughton for gods sake.

What did John Terry say in his interview? We highlighted their right side as a weakness and exploited it.

Not his fault we lost today? Who the hell had us playing a high line which should have put us 2-0 down in 4 minutes? Do you think the players decided it?

Jesus Christ give me strength

Tactics were working fine till we capitulated. Noone had any criticisms then. Funny how the fickles start criticising the manager in hindsight

Obviously you cant read you idiot calling me fickle. I suggest you read my comments on team selection before a ball was kicked when I went ballistic and said we would get a good hiding.
