nekunando Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I genuinely think if we stuck with AVB we'd be 4th, and have done much better in the cups.... I'm not even sure how you think you'd be 4th now considering Tim Sherwood has won 8 and drawn 2 of his 13 Premier League matches in charge, according to the Premier League website That's seems pretty solid to me and I fail to see how you could have expected AVB to do any better in that period, especially when you consider it would have taken at least 5 more points from that time to sneak ahead of Man City in the current table, even though they have 3 games in hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 He barely played when he was fit. So frustrating. But he's "injured" now, though rumours we've given him some time off to sort his head out and such. I'd play him every game for me, no one else is playing well in that position and he's our big superstar so let's give him a chance. Lennon, Eriksen, Lamela, Ade is a decent forward line I reckon! But I'm just waiting for the summer now. Though if Van Gaal is our new manager which looks likely (presuming Man stick with Moyes - please!!!!) then we'll have to wait til AFTER the world cup, which is worrying... want to get started as soon as this disastrous season is over! I genuinely think if we stuck with AVB we'd be 4th, and have done much better in the cups.... I was talking to two Spurs fans about the signings that were made with the Bale money. Looking on it now, Eriksen seems to be the only one who's doing the business. I forgot about Lamela until I heard his name mentioned in midweek. "Oh yeah, shit...forgot they signed him." It was always obvious that Sherwood was an interim manager, no matter what he says. He hasn't got the credentials, the ability, the experience or the dexterity to be the manager at a top level club full-time. He's punching well above his weight at the moment, but now the results are starting to go against him and I don't think he has the ability to pull himself out of the hole like a great manager can. It's not easy, so it's no disrespect intended towards him. To be a manager at a big club, you need to be a special kind of person. I always thought he'd be out of the club by the following Christmas. I still think that. Regarding Moyes, he irritates the shit out of me, but a large part of me hopes that it'll eventually click and fall into place. He's made mistakes, but signing Mata was a good step towards redeeming himself. I watched our game last week and thought Fellaini looked great in midfield. A fit Fellaini can offer a lot to United. We're still short, and now it looks like the defence is where we need to sort it all out. Basically, keep the team that played last weekend (maybe even start Welbeck up top) and keep that 11 for the remainder of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Chiriches was very good until his injury, he'll be good. Eriksen is amazing. Chadli is average. Soldado I still think will come good. Lamela who knows. Paulinho is hit and miss, but he obviously has ability. Capoue has also looked really good, great back up to sandro. Overall I think it's been good business, but the problem is clubs need a world class attacking player. Eriksen will be that, but not yet. So we've suffered as all the other clubs have that. Except arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan-likes-trees Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Because we would have beat hull Norwich and WBA Well considering last season we drew at home to West Brom and drew both Norwich fixtures (one of which I went to, and was emblematic of the tedious kind of game we played week in week out under AVB - aside from the standard Bale slice of beauty), I'm not so sure we would have. There are always results you can point to as why we don't get champions league - this year is no different -Last year I'd put it down to losing at home to Fulham - almost to this day last year. Don't buy the whole bullshit about Sherwood being massively inferior to AVB. Do you remember how boring our play was at the start of this year? Tedious play, poor results. Talk about a negative spiral after the City & Liverpool games. Would be grinding out draws if it weren't for Ade being back in the squad. Not that I think Sherwood's doing a particularly good job, though to be honest he's had some good games and were it not for his insistence on playing his youth academy players (If I see Harry Kane in one more big fixture I'll tune out) I'd be happy enough with him until the summer. Fair play to the man for chopping and changing every week if the nature of your job means that you've got absolutely no time to work on a project / set formation. Hope we somehow grind out a win with some wacky Sherwoodian tactics today, a great glimmer in this river of shit of a season, Friday Night Lights Season 4 style. A Game of Thrones Red Wedding style bloody bath more likely though. Incidentally I hope we don't finish too low down in the league, not sure Van Gaal would be too keen on taking a team who are too obviously dire...
