Davkaus Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I kind of agree with that. I was a little worried that it seemed that things really came together with Houllier was away, and Gary Mac took charge, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me still thinks Houllier could have gone upstairs and Gary Mac could have followed on the season after. Instead we got McLeish 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I think Sherwood just has to go for it now, 4-2-3-1Guzan,Hutton,Richards,Clark,Amavi,Gana,Sanchez,Gil,Traore,Grealish,Ayew and see what happens. Change Sanchez for Veretout after 60 mins when he is blowing out his arse and maybe bring Gestede on for the last 15 if he needs to change the game and get the ball in the middle. I dont think we have a better option. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I just wish he'd stick to the same bloody formation/team for 9 - 10 gamesWho knows it might give the team which has a lot of new faces time to gel Edited October 9, 2015 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Dick Advocaat isn't the worst Manager, if he can't get Sunderland competing I'm not sure why it's presumed that Sam Allardyce, suddenly will. And this Sunderland squad will probably be one of the weakest he's managed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 You know what I'm saying, we need someone to come in and give us our signature style, that we play at all levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I really don't think Allardyce can do much with the Sunderland squad that Advocaat hasn't done. I do expect him to make a good start with them though, to begin with the crowd will be behind him and that will play a big part, but eventually, they'll just revert their old selves.

BOF Posted October 9, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 9, 2015 But again, useless, the problem isn't Sunderland. The problem is that now we won't get him to see if he could do anything here. They may very well go down by being insurmountably shite, but they've taken him off the market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Good, glad he's gone to Sunderland.We don't need him, the pieces will come together and we will creep back up the table. Keep the faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Don't think Sunderland are nailed on to stay up but they were almost a certainty to go down with Advocaat which we needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbr600rr Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 its not about sunderland though, sunderland have acted & changed it, if they drop they have no regrets as sam is proven,the teams who have come up are simply more stable & possibly better run, than villa 2015-16. that will be villa undoing this year, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 In my opinion that's a good thing, as I don't think his style of football would suit our squad. In fact I think it would have been an incredibly regressive appointment (well not in relation to Sherwood but the overall situation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
