Isa Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Strong rumours flying around on Twitter that Sherwood punched one of the Spurs players, though the identity of the player involved seems to be disputed. I just heard, it actually seems viable I wouldn't rule it out given how Sherwood has reacted to defeats recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I doubt it's true, he probably would have missed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Apparently when he punched Dawson, Saurez hit the deck in the home dressing room clutching his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted March 30, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Said it a few weeks ago, but Sherwood is completely out of his depth. As soon as things stopped going their way you could tell instantly he had no idea what he was doing. The way he just gets angry when they go behind showed just how little confidence he had in his own ability to change a game. He set out with a game plan, probably along the lines of "go out there and work hard", and had no idea what to do to change things tactically. The bloke is a **** idiot.

Avfc96 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I think the fact that he plays Nabil Bentaleb instead of the likes of Sandro and Dembele shows how out of his depth he is. Also, he plays Eriksen out on the wing and Chadli in behind the striker when both of their best positions are the other way around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Seems like the strangest appontment ever after all the exciting players they got in the summer and people talking about them as possible outsiders for the title I would have thought they could have got someone with more pedigree. Apparently Sherwood has lost 9 of his 22 games in charge you have to go back 48 matches find 9 losses whilst VIllas-Boas was managing them.

djdabush Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Lennon has denied it on Twitter, calling it 'bollocks'. Seems that it's so plausible that it's easy enough to make it up for people to believe it and spread it on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakid007 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) He obviously doesn't know wat he is doin, should be playing Lloris Walker Kaboul vertonghen rose Sandro paulinho Lennon dembele eriksen Adebayor Edited March 30, 2014 by dakid007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Spurs just have too many players, just look at their midfield options ffs....Lennon, Townsend, Sig, Chadli, Dembele, Bentaleb, Sandro, Paulinho, Eriksen, two have been frozen out like Capoue and Lamela and one loaned out in Holtby, there's 12 right there and I've probably missed one or two. I'd love Glaston (unlikely given they're losing again) or more likely Joey to come on here and explain why they always sign 4-5 new midfielders each summer as clearly something went very wrong in the squad building. Pick any 3 from that list and they'd probably be better than what we put out so they can send some out way. Oh and Soldado is just rubbish so that's knackered them aswell. I don't care if he scored 200 goals in Spain (probably 190 of them were penalties) as he won't be doing that in the prem In fairness Sherwood's overall record I can't imagine is that different to AVB's and remember he a) didn't have a single game with Bale in his team or spend 100m on replacements. That said playing a kid like Bentaleb as the sole holding midfielder away to Liverpool is just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) I think if Spurs signed Moutinho in 2012, AVB would still be in a job.. He would have been the perfect replacement for Modric, someone pulling the strings in midfield and dictating the tempo of the game, that they desperately miss.

rosenthal Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 He obviously doesn't know wat he is doin, should be playing Lloris Walker Kaboul vertonghen rose Sandro paulinho Lennon dembele eriksen Adebayor He probably would have, but what do you do when three of those are unavailable and further two aren't fit enough to play a full game? Back up players in central midfield injured as well. People are questioning Sherwood why he didn't start Dembele against Liverpool, one week ago against Southampton he tried to play Dembele despite not 100% fit and he wasn't up for it - game changed when Sigurdsson came on. Sherwood shouldn't be manager for a team like Spurs, clearly out of his depth and learning on the job, but in defence of him he's also in a situation where he can't win whatever he does. It's a mess at the moment, can only hope that Levy is learning from all the mistakes done this season and leading up untill it. Need stronger leadership both on the side line and on the pitch. No lack of talent in the team, but that doesn't help when there's no direction, plan, stability and desire. Players have given up now, the best ones are totally focused on the world cup and their next transfer move. However, the fixtures coming up are all winnable, and there's enough talent in the squad to win against the lesser teams in the league even on half machine. Been very boring season, we've hardly scored goals, but there's been more positive results against most of the league than in even our best seasons. It's games against the top teams that are keeping us out of the top 4, actually, positive results against Arsenal alone would have taken us past them.

Pick any 3 from that list and they'd probably be better than what we put out so they can send some out way. Something that's become obvious in recent years at Spurs is that it's pointless to sign expensive quality players to be 3rd or 4th choice. Cause without game time and faith those players are quickly turned sour and look a shadow of themselves when they eventually get on the pitch. Confidence and flow is so important for a footballer. 100m spent on squad players in the summer, could have signed Suarez for 60m and given the squad roles to youth players and been better off. To be fair, there's been a lot of injuries this season, start and stop season for many players - especially for newcomers to the league this is a challenge. Not coming into a settled team, and not getting a run of games ... Big issue with the transfer policy is that there are too many people involved in the signings pulling in different directions. Plus the habit of not being able to avoid signing a player that we're likely to make a profit on (bosmans and players on expiring contracts). Players often signed not to fill the needs of the manager, if a player is quality and available at the right price he'll be signed no matter what the manager want. This has been a problem for a decade now. Martin Jol and Juande Ramos both gave a list of types and role they needed for their team, Comolli signed players with other qualities and the managers had to pay with their job. Comolli's signings were extremely good though, and the successor (Redknapp) reaped the benefits. Hope is that history reapeat itself and that the squad is good enough to perform under a new manager with a couple of changes. Now like then, there's question around the attitude of many of the players. "They are soft" "Not suitable for the Premier League" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 31, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2014 Sherwood's being shown up. Sat in the stands because he couldn't affect the game? Why is he manager then? Can you imagine if AVB did something like that? The press would have crucified him. Still, as long as Sherwood doesn't crouch down on the touchline he should be fine.

rosenthal Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Yes it is, we've developed that transfer policy from his leadership. He needs to learn and change his ways. Manager/Head Coach need to have more to say in the transfer dealings, his position must be stronger, and when he leaves we need to look for a new man with similiar philosophy that can build on the work of his predecessor. That said, Levy's positive sides far outweigh his negative ones. We've grown and gone so far as we have due to him.
