We had been saying this for weeks and weeks!. For the love of god ,let the bentaleb fetish go. He was anonymous and let us get overun in midfield.As predicted Aguero nearly had a field day against Dawson and Chiriches because sherwood is freezing our DM out of the squad.Where were the tactics and respect for city?
A few others predicted Sherwood's obsession with Bentaleb would be found out (Mick Cooper for one)
It's not just that though - I don't see the team looking like they are playing for Sherwood - they don't really look bothered - and to be honest he doesn't look that bothered either - the guy looks like an emotional wreck who can't be arsed to take anything seriously - just see how it goes type attitude.
Danny Rose looked like he should be sitting in the stands trying to get Dzeko's autograph. I don't think they didn't play with heart, they did but we were set up badly. The game was lost in midfield, players overwhelmed and couldn't cope.

Completely wrong to highlight Bentaleb, there were worse mids on the ffield than him. Neither Bentaleb nor Sherwood's selection of him was found out at all.
Very depressing the pepople who keep attacking one of our brightest prospects.
Complete and utter shambles - my only critique towards Timmy last nightBentaleb must have caught Levy and Sherwood furiously making love with each other in the backroom. He's been good in limited appearances but why a thin 19 year old started over Capoue against the likes of Toure makes no sense to me.
Did anyone really expect anything else from you?
Sherwood wont beat West Ham - tick

Linesman dissallows good goal
Linesman gives penalty for clean tackle
LB is sent off for clean tackle
We get spanked by a team that scored more than 4 goals in a game over 13 times this season
And?
So you're happy with both then?Ive maintained from the start that it was about the way we approach the games for me, not the fact we were losing.
I said in the Utd home match thread that I would prefer to lose showing signs of improvement in our game
So you're happy with both then?
Also if you're going to play the City card and the sending off card then AVBs defeats to Liverpool and City should be ignored also now and we start fresh.
I wasnt happy with both, because yesterday showed neither.
We were battered for 30 minutes, but we equalized and it was wrongly chalked off.
The midfield was the wrong pick, but the officials dissalowed a good equalizer. We showed heart, and were in the game until the officials then sent off Rose and gave a penalty for perfectly clean tackle.
Why would I write off AVB's shit management?
Im not writing off Tim Sherwoods mistakes from last night, or that we got it wrong in the middle. But we played better, got ourselves back into the game, and had our hands cut off by the linesman.
Unless you think the lino had no effect on the game of course
