Me neither as on paper it seems a far more balanced duo but hey what do I know.
Against a better side I think we could have been spanked today, but the midfield worked hard. I credit him for going out there and trying to win the fans over with a positive team selection - but I feel that he needs to be careful in the future as Southampton were very poor and yet they still scored two
Agreed. All Sherwood has really been able to show is that AVB's rigid style of play was restricting the talents of much of the squad. He's allowed them to be be free. However, he seems to be implementing the Redknapp philosophy, save that Sherwood's lack of experience is painfully obvious. He's not the man to take is forward, but I do think he has been able to show that we need a manager who can be relaxed and flexible with the side.
Yeah agreed, but against a better team you'd hope he'd try to tighten things up abit in the center of the park. Against 2 thirds of the teams in the league though we should beable to go out there with the we'll score more than you mantra such is our wealth of attacking talent.
I said previously, I think we need a mix of Harry and AVB. Someone good at motivating and giving an amount of freedom to players while having a base plan to work from, preparing the team thoroughly etc.
Other clubs seem to find a manager with a nice balance of each, I dont see it as mythical or perfect.so we need the mythical perfect manager lol
Guardiola????
We just seem to have found in our last two managers the ultimate "set system/tactical" type and the ultimate "Man motivator and chancer"
Ballsy, but I like the look of Sherwood. He clearly has a plan and a vision.
Only thing I didn't like much was a lack of a DM. If he continues and continues at times with a 442, it will be very interesting to see who he picks for the CM positions with Sandro, Capoue, Paulo, Dembele, and Eriksen available.

Chance would be a fine thing we will end up with Hoddle after his little pre match "ill do whatever you want Daniel" pitch.
That, or a Head Coach-Assistant team that covers both bases with the Head Coach stronger in the motivator/man-manager role.
I think sandro/capoue AND Eriksen/dembele I'd the perfect scenario. Also think he could put Eriksen on the left where siggy was playing. Just not sure where The boy Holtby fits into Tims plans and he is one heck of a future player for our club.
Like Sherwood and Ramsey you mean
I've read that Ramsey is quite highly rated as a coach, but I can't say I've got a feel for Sherwood yet. I think it's too early to tell, at least for the fans, as the players could just be riding temporarily on a wave of change.
Well he's not going to come out on television and say "Andre was a cunt, I'm so happy to see the back of him" now is he?
I know, but he didn't need to say anything either.
Did anyone see Sherwood go into the directors box at the beginning. Apparently Baldini didn't give him the time of day?
