Wildly, sorry but west brom, stoke, palace, Southampton aren't top teams, ( no disrespect to them ), Manchester United are not a top 6 team at present and look to be dropping further under Moyes, and to that a defeat at west spam . All these are teams we expect to beat! You can't fault what Sherwood has done so far, but we haven't beat anyone really decent yet!!


Conversely we haven't done any less than we would expect to overall either. But the acid test will be City, how we line up and how the players respond.


Davo your correct, them teams we do expect to beat however dnt forget over the years it's was then kind of team which where we dropped points and because of that failed to get cl Footi .
Keep it up Tim


Ps ; Wildly, after last night see what I mean?


Davo, But you can only play what's infront of you.

I think Tim is doing a grand job, like you said his real test will be against city which I must say look awesome at the minute. We missed the boat on Negrado I feel. But I still think Soldado will come good. Although he has to be on the pitch to do that.

I think we should give Tim a good chance as there are so many teams that just do the rounds with Managers. Like Mark Hughes, great player can't manage for s**t a very lucky man to be in a job in my opinion

On another note. I would keep Capoue, get rid of Dawson, Get shot of Holtby & Chadli they haven't added anything to the team what so ever, we should try & get Bernard on loan.

But we still have been playing and winning with not a full strength team. Out of those games we have been with out Jan and Sandro. but saying that is sandro going to get back in the team with the midfield looking decent at the moment.


I can't imagine playing City without Sandro or Capoue sitting in front of our back line we will get over run (again).

I might even put both of them there to stuff up the middle of the park and stop City from functioning.


Yellow card, we need Sandro or Capoue, even if it means dropping Dembele to the bench! It's true, we can only beat what's against us and city will be a test . Sherwood has done well so far but it has been against weaker teams although its been done without a batch of our best players! It's his mindset that's a bit worrying, about not playing a defensive midfielder . You can't moan about his attacking policy, although I think we need to persist with Soldado and Lamela . He also seems to have a problem with Capoue, who if Sandro isn't playing, should be there in front of the back four whatever! Also I know Verts been injured, but I worry about his choosing Daws when Verts back! Yes, he's loyal, and always try's his best, but his best isn't good enough! Be interesting to see what happens here .
It's been stated on here that AVB was a one trick pony, who couldn't change the tactics or make the right subs . Well this next game will also see if Sherwood can adapt, because if we play without the defensive MF player, there is every chance we will get slaughtered in the middle again . Our recent games have shown that we have been overrun time and again in the middle and got away with it, I don't think City will allow that!


I actually don't have a problem with no true DM against weaker teams. I think we have the talent within the squad to beat most of the lower half of the PL without a DM. But the likes of City, L'Arse, Chelski and Liverpool have the players and pace to exploit our weak back 4. Now Verts coming back is a big step - interesting he played with Kaboul alongside in the friendly . Be interesting to know how Kaboul feels 24/48 hours after that run out.
