Sherwood has gone!

Now, sire, faire falle yow for youre tale!"
And after that he, with ful merie chere,
Seide unto another, as ye shuln heere.

This is going on my CV.

Just so long as you don't let anyone read the drivel within!

Being a gooner and a snake is one of the many reasons I do not like Sherwood. If anyone actually bothered to read my past posts, they would know that. We have not improved at all under him. We look like complete shit every game. We do not look like a team whatsoever. He continuously plays Lennon, Adebayor and Bentaleb even when they have been mostly poor lately. He doesnt know the first thing aout inspiring confidence, see Soldado. There are no tactics at all. We are left to praying for a few minutes of brilliance out of our most creative players, Eriksen and Soldado, both of whom however rarely play together due to Adebayor being the favored striker although he's been kinda poor lately. Shall I continue?

Reading your analyses in this and previous posts is akin to witnessing a creationist critique On the Origin of Species.

You know what Coopsie, I watched the Palace- Cheatski game last night and found myself wondering just what Pulis might be able to achieve with a 'higher profile' club with better players at his disposal.

Whilst Palace only had 40% of the possession, they still managed to outdo Cheatski on shots on target and were only slightly behind on chances created. They deserved that win and, when they had the ball, regularly looked dangerous. Not only that, their work rate was extraordinary.

I'm no Pulis fanboy, by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't think he's as one dimensional as many believe.

Not that i would like him as our coach he is very underrated even by me as i thought maybe he was a one trick pony but i was wrong there. But to come and take palace from pretty much rock bottom shows that he knows how this league works. He even said it, they picked the team monday and then drilled the lads.

So we are being xenophobic because we think your vitriol is a bit strange? Alright mate.

Well said my little danish bald love muffin

Well, many of us predicted that firing AVB was a bad call, Ripley - and it was. How would AVB have done? The end of the season should've been the baseline criteria for his tenure.

And yet Tim's is just 4 months.

Reading Sherwood's comments about the Liverpool game has confirmed something for me. He has a mid-table team mentality.

My point is that there should've been no Tim or any other change until the end of the season.

Providing you are talking about in the Championship I agree.

I know mate. I agree with you about AVB, and i have the same level of judgement for the new manager too.

I would have lost it by then. The dull slow football was painful to watch.when the third liverpool goal went in I thought (for the first time ever) I want spurs to lose by more for a change of management. It happenened and I think we have more points now than we would have had if AVB stayed.

Fair enough...

Not sure what you have been reading mate, there seems to be only a small percentage of people that want Sherwood in charge next season, it's certainly not a "Pro Sherwood" site if you look through it.

The small percentage of pro sherwood posters amass a high percentage of post and attacked like piranas when they spot any anti-sherwood post.

I'm not entirely sure what you're on about with that first sentence. Sherwood's had plenty of training sessions yet there's been precious little collective improvement besides playing with a slightly higher tempo.

Your sentiment was that Sherwood is doing better than AVB because his points per game ratio is higher. Yet that graph demonstrably shows that points per game is an unreliable gauge considering that AVB had a higher points percentage won than Harry. At the least it puts a massive flaw in your take on things, and that's even without scrutinising factors such as Sherwood only having played one game away to any of the top four.

Points per game is the only metric... The team with the most points per game at the end of the year wins the league foolish to think otherwise!

But by that criteria Bale AVB was a better Spurs manager than Harry, which an awful lot of people would disagree with.

Balanced criticism is fine. But it is the relentless childish nastiness of the anti-Sherwood posts that provokes a response. If you are going to be an arsehole you can expect someone to call you out on it. That's life I am afraid; grow up or get used to it.

Nightgoat already beat me to it, but the metric that trumps PPG is league position. IMO, that is the ultimate measure of success, and trumps all other arguments. (And yep, I accept that PPG largely correlates with league position, but it's not a perfect correlation. And in those instances, league position wins, all day every day.)

The only mistake we made with AVB was employing him in the first place.

At the time we could have employed Martinez or if we acted quickly Rogers 2 managers that had proven themselves in the EPL, instead we went with AVB who was a disaster at Chelsea and had 6 months experience of the English game

The issue with the points per game metric is that you don't necessarily compare like for like. PPG needs to be taken together with a time parameter, e.g. over the course of a full season.
