He should have got more of a tune out of Gana, Ayew, Veretout etc. Then again the damage was done in the transfer window when we didn't buy a proven striker. He was miles worse than Garde in terms of setup etc. However he had more charisma which carried him a certain distance. Of course, he was terrible setting up a team, alienated a lot of players ruining any cohesion in the dressing room, didn’t have a clue what to do when things went wrong and blew a load of money on players who he then alienated. But at the start, he had charisma. I actually think Ayew and Gueye were pretty decent for us by the way. Team spirit was ruined though and our defence was **** woeful.

Xela Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The biggest problem was the terrible signings that summer. The spine of our team left and we replaced them with a bunch of duds. Sherwood got us off to an appalling start and then Garde comes in and got absolutely nothing more out of the same players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this is a bit of a which-is-the-tastiest-turd contest... Benteke, Vlaar and Delph all leaving and who we replaced them with made us much worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garde failed, Sherwood ultimately failed. who was the best? who cares anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough he got a 42% win rate at Montreal Impact (Wikipedia tells me), which sounds decent enough and maybe a tiny bit surprising he hasn't had another job in the MLS since? At any rate, one job since he left us is more than Sherwood, Di Matteo* and Gerrard (so far). *is now a 'technical advisor' to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in Korea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having people like flabby and new car Lescott p**sing about would have been a nightmare. Ancient history now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
