My mate who loves Sherwood and thinks he is better than Poch saying Poch has done no better than Sherwood just sent me this:
This should make interesting reading for you both. You like to use Arsenal as a benchmark, well Spurs were not the only team to get thrashed by title chasers that season. In 22 games Wenger got 2 more points than Sherwood, the same as the current gap, same number of wins 13 but 2 extra draws. Spurs got spanked by W Ham, City and Liverpool under AVB that season before Sherwood came in so more to do with playing personnel I think, we signed 7 players with no prem experience that summer. The 5-1 loss to City Rose gave away a dubious penalty in 50th minute with score 1-0 to City and was sent off which was later rescinded by the FA, Dawson also had a goal disallowed which replay showed was onside also with score at 1-0, could say slightly unfortunate. The 4-0 loss to Chelsea was very close until in 56th minute Vertonghen slipped and tried to pass it towards Lloris but actually played in Eto’o to score one on one. 4 minutes later Chelsea were awarded a dubious penalty for a foul by Kaboul who was sent off which again was rescinded by FA, again a bit unlucky, Chelsea scored 2 more with Spurs down to 10 in 88th and 89th minutes, Sandro being a cock I seem to recall. Currently Spurs have 42 points from 23 games. Sherwood accumulated the same number of points in one less game. This was in his first job as manager inheriting a disjointed team that had just been thrashed 5-1 at home to Liverpool mid season, 7 new signings with no prem experience, no transfer window himself, no pre season and a crippling injury list. 2 years down the line with 2 pre seasons, several transfer windows, backing of fans and chairman we are no better off points wise yet in both your opinions Sherwood was massively incompetent and Poch is doing an amazing job. These are the facts.
Spurs, sherwood came in at week 17
Arsenal
Spurs were already 8 points behind arsenal when sherwood took over.
We have been having many debates about it.
He said
Thats opinion, im talking about facts. Beat teams he should have done?? How many draws this season against teams we should beat?? He beat them, got the points. My point is loads of people are waxing lyrical about Poch yet slagged Sherwood when the facts are Poch has done no better with more opportunity. Fact not opinion.
What do you guys think. I think its aload of rubbish, we was doing alright under AVB when he got sacked, Sherwood was given the job which he should not have and done an OK job in a short time but was tactically not good enough, we would never be where we are now with Sherwood. I need some good responses to shut up him up cause he just wont listen to me..
