As you know I agree, but I think 61 was angry at the mewling bottle-jobbery of the players, who looked beaten from the first 10 mins. Hard to disagree. It comes down to who's to blame, proportionately, and I think we'd both agree that management holds a large chunk. It's my view they've been inadequate for weeks. In fact the removal of Bentaleb really did him no favors whatsoever; I have no idea what he's protecting him from.
I thought Sherwood's comments about not wanting to overexpose him (or words to that effect) seemed quite good.
Not sure he had to be dropped to the bench entirely for this long, but I suppose Sherwood is in a much better position to judge that. All I know is that I would have liked to see him on the pitch more and I think it would have made us better.
