Oaks Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 He got Adebayor to play, imagine what he could do with Benteke? I think he's simplistic tack ticks wise, which will be good short term, but he's supposed to be a good coach. He's in nice and quick as I think Stoke is very winnable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Looking forward to seeing how it goes with Sherwood at the helm. I'm actually excited by the development, something which I haven't felt for years as a Villa fan! I'd be a little more excited if our status in the league wasn't on the line.

ismail-villa Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Happy to see him come. Some people complaining already, let's just stick with him and see where we go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have gone down under Lambert (IMO). I think we have a far better chance of staying up now, in fact I am convinced we will be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackthelad Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 These players need reassessing with fresh eyes. My view is give him a month to start playing some football where we actually create goal scoring opportunities. This is what needs to be addressed urgently. We also break like we're trying to turn an oil tanker round. Do this and things start getting exciting: the players regain their confidence: and the fans have something to cheer. Good luck Tim.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Best of luck Tim and a couple of wins early on should give us the momentum to stay up. Apparently 'our Tim' is a student of the game and he knows the Premier League well, so I'm confident and happy with the appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this is a fair point. Personally I've got a lot of my shock and disappointment out of my system. Time to support him I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I think he'll keep us up but beyond that it's going to be a real struggle especially if he wants to build his own team, with the money he'll be given to spend it'll take about three years to do so.

flamingsombrero Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I came to the conclusion that he blames his players to cover himself because he did. I'm asking this as I genuinely don't know - How often did he do this publicly and when? We have the Chelsea thing, I'm right behind him on that. On what other occasions? Is there evidence for this that you can present to me? Genuinely intrigued. I'll ask me Dad as he'll remember better examples than me. Off the top of my head the Albion game they ended up drawing where they were completely overrun in the middle because of poor initial team selection he blamed the effort(although the did rescue a point eventually). Liverpool game too he got it wrong in the middle and blamed the players attitude. If I remember right when the wheels started to come off and the pressure started to build he quit the touchline and decided to sit in the stand. The one that sticks in my mind is when a journo questioned him for only going with the same 11 once in about 20 games and still not knowing his best team... he blamed the players for not standing out enough. You've noted twice now that the wheels fell off. Only they won 4, drew 1 and lost 1 of his last 6 after that Liverpool game, which there responded to by winning their next game 5-0 IIRC. One of those 6 was the West Brom 3-3. Scored 15 conceded 7 in that time. The wheels came off their challenge for top 4 which was his own definition of success until the gap started to open up and he changed his tune. There was so much quality in that team that the 100mph approach would come off against teams they were miles ahead of anyway. Doesn't have that luxury here. Anyway seriously I do hope the stars align and I get to eat all those words and I'm not saying our players don't need an initial arse kicking, it's what happens when that stops working. With the way our dressing room is supposed to be on top of all that I may even have a couple of quid on him not being here come the last game of the season.

Popular Post mjmooney Posted February 14, 2015 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2015 God, Villa fans make me despair sometimes. The short memories for a start. How many of those who were at Norwich chanting for Lambert were the same ones recently slagging him off with all the 'worst Villa manager ever' vitriol? Probably the same ones who for the last few weeks were saying sack Lambert, because anyone - anyone at all - would be an improvement. Sherwood is not a likeable chap? Neither were Saunders or Ferguson. It looks to me like he was the man the club wanted AND we were the club he wanted. That's good enough for me. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Do people really think anyone would sign a 6 month contract?This. A million times THIS. Even a twelve month contract, unless the team's in a great position, most managers wouldn't sign one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
