Sherwood seems a little unhinged.
During the early win streak he was on, I watched a press conference where he clearly stated if he doesn't have top 4 by the end of the season, he is out. He was very pragmatic about it.
As the games pass and probabilities mount, Sherwood might just be saying to himself, "Ah fuck this gig."
I don't know, maybe not, but the jacket tantrum and then the ball throwing at corn row guy in red, Baccarat or whatever........not really what I want to see for another season.
to counter all the negativity , i am actually surprised by the fact that Kyle Naughton is starting to look like an EPL standard player - Hull/Villa/Palace standard obviously but still better than i reckoned he could ever be.

Made the error of watching the game last night (was at another season ending 0-1 defeat yesterday during the game), Chadli mate - thats got to be at least one goal , he played pretty well but had he scored those two ...
Ifs and buts ... If my aunt had wheels she'd be a tram
Rosicky screamerI was traveling all day and didn't get to see shit that happened, but I know we lost. Not surprising.
Can anyone give me a quick recap, preferably in haiku form, so I don't have to read through 40 pages of what I'm sure is drudgery.
I was pleased with Chadli yesterday, thought he played very well.
Ive always thought he had it in him. On the right he is a smart player, positions pretty well and uses the ball intelligently. Never going to be eye catching like Walker but I like him, think he has potential.
On the left? Lets not even go there...
I enjoyed how 'active' he seemed in the first half, finally saw glimpses of the Bale attributes we missed as a team (someone dribbling into space and opening them up, rather than running into a group of 2 defenders for no point at all)
I'm saying that they stuck with their manager when they were doing piss poor last season and look how that's turned out for them. We should've done the same. Rodgers bought in a bunch of new players, they had a settling in period last season and now look at them. Suarez/Bale is irrelevant.
To me rose is the kind of player that a new premiership team buys and he playes well for them but takes the step up to an established team and gets found out..Anyone here really worried about Rose, good player on the ball but seems not to know his position in defence, Woolwich only looked dangerous when going down his side and I have seen this on a few occassions, thought Naughton was by far the better full back in terms of doing his job.

he has got some talant but i cant see him getting any better. He is a penalty waiting to happen and everytime he is named in the team you know its going to be a tough watch. looks like im having a pop at him but is he a top 4 player? not in my opinion. he trys hard but i think he is a championship at bestI think he has the talent in terms of ball control I am worried about his attitude, he doesn't track back very well and often just lets player go by him, say what you want about the two Kyle's at right back but they always try hard in defence. Kaboul and Naughton yesterday where strong, where as Verts and Rose looked dodgy at times, I think Verts no longer cares much to be honest. Its obvious that teams will attack our left side because of this.
