You know who you are:

You got everything you wanted: AVB gone, fast pace, open play, Adebayor in and two up front.

Are you happy NOW?

What next? Burn down the Lane? Sack all the players? Maybe next time you'll THINK before opening your mouths at least!

Yes, losing 3-0 was much more fun.

We're down to 5th choice players and youth prospects in defense, and they targeted the 6'0 central defender who is a liability in the air. Nothing tactical about that.

That said, hopefully in the future Sherwood doesn't let our retarded fans pick the fucking team. Vintage Redknapp performance, really. 45 minutes of running around slamming balls into the box like a herd of headless chickens and shipping a few late goals to a volleyball team.

Nice. What retarded fans did Sherwood listen to exactly?

makes me laugh how people blame a formation for our woes, talk about clutching at straws. even then the terrible 442 had us 1-0 up and it was only when we changed to everyone's favourite 451/4231/4411/whatever you want to call it that conceded twice and lost.
Agree but also worth noting defoe and Adebayor dropped deep to make it a 4231/451/4411

Are you 'using' again?

How did 4-4-2 make our defence shit the bed every time there was an aerial challenge to contest? That is the only reason we lost the game. 4-4-2 and the selections may have flaws to it, but West Ham did not deserve to win that.

Perhaps it's okay to play 4-4-2 at short notice against an under strength West Ham, but i really hope it isn't the long term plan or else we've just set ourselves back another five years. The whole youth setup is geared towards producing players to fit in to a 4-3-3 system, if we regress back to 4-2-2 in the long run we may as well bring bloody Mike Bassett in.

Oh please, as if we were any better under AVB. Wasn't he the manager when we got spanked 3-0 by the same club not so long ago? Now, I don't advocate playing a 4-4-2. But things simply weren't working out under the guy we were playing some horrible football and getting similar results. How about we bring in a quality manager who'll sort this mess out instead of going on some 'I told u so' tangent before anything happens?

Yep, after we'd just beaten West Ham in a quarter final....
Uh-Oh. In that case he's got previous and i'm filling my panties as we speak because IIRC he spunked a season on a caretaker manager too didn't he, so there's previous for that. Something about undertaking an extensive search to make sure we got the best man possible for the job. Who lasted about 12 games.

This could get grim. Come on Levy, don't do it again FFS.

Do we really need to debate the existence of the hordes upon hordes of neanderthals who pine for two up front and mindless running around every match?

4-4-2 is the English panacea. Whenever a team is struggling the cries come out of the woodwork. I'm not saying it cost us the match tonight, but if that's really going to be the solution it's going to get a lot worse.

Me neither in all truth, but I cannot accept formation/tactics was the reason we lost tonight.

Why do spurs fans pick sides, like a pro avb/anti harry and anti AVB/Pro Harry camp. Pretty pathetic.

My point being, you seem to think Sherwood picked 4-4-2 because fans wanted it.

Did anyone see how delighted Levy looked at the beginning of the match. He has probably been playing Football Manager with Ade and Defoe and made some decent results. 4-4-2.............
