Watching Sigurdsson, Eriksen and Bentaleb in a midfield 3 against this year's fucking champions convinced me that Sherwood is done. Bring on LVG, not that I much care anymore.
Any man that looks at our back four and thinks we don't need to play a proper DM at Anfield against an on fire Suarez & Sturridge isn't likely to go on and become a good manager.
Our bench consisted of walking wounded. Would you have liked Tim to have gambled on the fitness of Sandro like he did with Dembele against Soton?
I'd rather he gambled on Sandro at HT when we were only 2-0 when it was incredibly clear that we needed somebody shielding the back 4.Our bench consisted of walking wounded. Would you have liked Tim to have gambled on the fitness of Sandro like he did with Dembele against Soton?
How about at the very least play a CM3. I wouldn't have even minded if he'd brought in Veljkovic or Dombaxe as the DMand played Bentaleb and Dembele either side.
But Bentaleb and Sigurdsson as a CM2 away at Liverpool with Lennon and Eriksen ahead of them was tactically idiotic. Schoolboy stuff.

Dembele's fitness was presumably a concern; Veljkovic is a possibility, but do you really want to give a player his debut against the likely champions in a must win match? That is not fair on the player.
Dombaxe looks likely to be released, along with Gallifuoco. There really are not a lot of youngsters pushing to break through at the moment. The best are on loan or have been sold.
Like I say I do not think Tim really had much in the way of options.
