No, I disagree with that
Maybe not the most but must be close to it.
Stand out thing thou was choosing 442 against arguably the best midfield in the country.
Walker had a terrible game, time and time again out of position,

playing a 2 man midfield against a 3 man midfield is always risky.
Playing a 2 man midfield against a 3 man midfield when that 3 man midfield is part of currently the best team in the country is pretty silly.
Playing a 2 man midfield against a 3 man midfield when that 3 man midfield is part of currently the best team in the country, and one of your 2 men is a teenager making his debut in the starting 11 is downright idiotic.
Sherwood got it badly wrong. I hope he learns from it, but I'm not convinved.
Junction I was being sarcastic
Clear as day he got it wrong, he will learn from this

That's not a brand new idea Thudd, I keep seeing it on here and questioned someone saying it yesterday.
I get the impression that when posters say it what they actually mean is:
"I post balanced, constructive criticism but everyone else is just having a moan."
These forums, and discussions in pubs etc are what being a supporter are all about. We all have opinions, good or bad, and like to voice them.
Cos we all know what is the best thing to do, don't we?
Bill I'm on the wum .

Sorry my friend, I think this is too over the top. I think you should've had your bowl of cornflakes before you wrote this.
4-4-2 against Arsenal's midfield is naive, but this is SHerwood's (5th?) game in charge? He was trying something. He was a little late in realising it wasn't working (Rose's c ock-up didn't help), but hopefully.....he'll learn. Don't forget, Harry did this same formation against the Gooners when we lost 5-2 and a lot of people on here still sing his praises. Give Sherwood the benefit of the doubt on this one for now.
Agree that the defence does worry me. Whenever there is a one on one with one of our defenders I have little confidence of us coming out on top. That's why it's important to have a good holding midfielder, and in games like yesterday, ideally 3 in midfield. But, hopefully with Sandro back (maybe Capoue could do a job too) and Sherwood learning from the above mistake, we'll have more protection to our back four.
The most frustrating thing for me at the moment, that you didn't mention, is our attacking full-backs. They leave our defence even more vulnerable but don't actually offer nearly enough attacking threat to balance it out. Hopefully some competition in the LB spot and more time this season with the team gelling will see that improve.
Yes there are worries. But things could still come good. Enjoy your cornflakes.
Bill I'm on the wum .

Oh, sorry!
Might be a negative outlook but it's pretty accurate. The main thing missing from that list is our impotent strikers.
Despite the góoner talk of a stroll yesterday, we had enough chances to get something out of that game but the front men let us down (incl. Lennon and Eriksen)
