Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

Yes, i would agree with you if you have time, players on form and consistency. The manager has had a totally disruptive time with our back four:

Walker - everyone's first choice.Currently injured.
Naughton - not good enough
Dawson - injured. Great heart but legs have gone.
Verts - everyone's first choice CB. Shocking form and attitude. Currently injured
Kaboul - pale impersonation of last years player. Being kind, still recovering from injury. Error prone and lacks confidence.
Vlad - again being kind, recovering from long injury layoff. Looks classy on ball, but not strong, good in the air or fast. Not a good combo for a CB.
Rose - only choice at LB. Again being kind, hugely disappointing.

TS ( or even Pulis) really can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

What he HAS done is get us scoring again. After 15 goals in our first 16 games, our last few games have been:

W 3 goals
L 0 goals
W 5 goals
D 3 goals
W 3 goals

So, three wins a draw and a defeat. Not too shabby. 14 goals in five games, almost averaging three a game. He may not have fixed our defense, which is not really a surprise given the above circumstances, but not many have achieved that record either recently.

While his off field antics haven't endeared TS to me, I certainly don't think the level of criticism on here is warranted.

He came in December with a more than reasonable chance for us to reach our objective of reaching the top four.
He has failed. Therefore he should be replaced as the requirement that apparently made a change necessary have not been met.

I remember at the time he said if he didn't make top four he'd be out of a job and as he's failed and failed miserably making us a rudderless train wreck, good riddance to the man.

We obviously have a different definition of failure.

Beating Soton home and away, beating Everton at home and Man ure at OT. Beating Saudi Sportswashing Machine by 4 at St James Park. Results overall showing him to be the most successful points per game coach in our recent history.

Reintroducing Ade, introducing Bentelab and Kane, and making Eriksen a standout player.

Sorry. TS is hardly "failing miserably"by any metric you care to mention. Not getting top four is no disgrace. Unfortunately, and most regretfully, the top four teams all have better players than we do. That is the cold hard facts.

I really couldn't agree more...

The metric mentioned by RM was "getting fourth", that's what our aim was this season, that's what Sherwood was still aiming for when he took over and that's what I think he would have had to achieve to be likely to keep his job.

By that metric he's failed. I think "failed miserably" is harsh, but he's failed by that one - most important - metric.
 
Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

what is Spurs were 7th, would you produce a table without the top 6 just to make us look good;)

I think it's a valid positive to take into the next season for sure.

Beating "smaller teams" is a necessary foundation for challenging where we want to be imo. It's why we're as (relatively) close to where we want to be despite the abysmal feeling we all have about this season.
 
Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

Do you have stats for Sherwood and AVB separated without the top 4?

By the way, would like to hear your thoughts on what constitutes a significant sample on various stats that you post at one point or another some place or another.

AVB:

Top 4: 1 point from 4 games, 0.25 ppg

The rest: 26 points from 12 games, 2.1666 ppg

Sherwood:

Top 4: 0 points from 4 games, 0 ppg

The rest: 36 points from 15 games, 2.4 ppg

So if not getting top four is not a disgrace why did we not see how it panned out with our previous manager?
Why are you so adamant that he should have been sacked.

Why did Sherwood by his own admission admit he would be out of a job if he didn't make it?

If we weren't good enough to make top four from the start, then by your reasoning Sherwood shouldn't have been given the job in the first place as we in a reasonably competitive position under the previous incumbent
 
Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

Exactly, I've seen nothing out of turn said by Tim and Sandro will obviously be disappointed not to be selected but there's no evidence to suggest he's insulted etc. He said similar about Chadli and Paulinho both of whom are now playing. I do wonder if some posters on here are more precious about the comments Sherwood makes than the players themselves....

You'll have to remind me when Tim dropped Chadli and Paulinho from the squad entirely and stated live on TV that they're not good enough to be in his squad.

Thing is if he stays we will probably be around the same position at the end of next season, and the one after that. He will continue to make rooky mistakes for another season, pick the wrong team now and again and the wrong formation. We will also lose to the better teams in a similar manner and he isn't going to hold back his thoughts or protect his players.

Of course this is purely speculation on my part but I'm going on the evidence so far like you.

Not sure how this follows. AVB's 16 games, 27 points. 1.68 points per game. You say that was a reasonable competitive position.? Meanwhile... Sherwood 19 games, 36 points. 1.89 points per game. That must be reasonable competitive too, right? But hold on, AVB - "maybe we should we have seen how it panned out?" Sherwood - "failed and failed miserably making us a rudderless train wreck, good riddance to the man" See how absurd that looks? One or the other, not both!

I'm commenting on the fact that the pirate believes that not making the top four is not a disgrace...
 
Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach

Bear in mind that this season's performances, which are comparable to last season's club record Premier League points haul, have been achieved without having the World's third best player in the squad.

And no pre-season with squad, coming in off the back of 11 points in 15 games, Adebayor training and playing for the Under 23s, no wins against anyone top half of the table, just hammered 0-5 at home etc etc. If Sherwood had actually been in from the start you'd have to think we'd be clear in 4th now. And going further, imagine we'd had someone in charge with more talent and experience than Sherwood...

Or given how the performances and results have tailed off as his reign has gone on we could be in a far worse position.

Lots of people said last year that points tally is great but has to be put into perspective relative to what everyone else is doing. So in this instance 72 points would likely only get 6th.
