Ronaldo Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I think the biggest problem with Sherwood was his inability to have his players playing well against stronger opposition. True, but if you're going to try to implement a philosophy of imposing your game on the opposition and not worry about nullifying them, that'll happen, especially in the early days. Oh absolutely, I don't think Sherwood is a terrible manager, I just think he's a bit naive tactically tbh. Think he needs more experience and Spurs isn't the right place for it as they're not nice to their managers. Do think Pochettino is an excellent appointment. He did well in Espanyol and a very good job with Southampton who played above their level. Basically agree. I'm not fully sold on Pochettino but he's done a very good job at Soton, no doubt.

But noone has said Poch is the finished article, just that he's proved a little more than Sherwood at this point. Don't understand why you're so pro Sherwood to the point of getting all ukip about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Steady on, man. I just admire the fact a totally inexperienced manager came in and got a team who couldn't score goals scoring plenty of them, playing very positive/watchable football and demonstrating Champions League form for half the season.

KaKa Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Think Spurs have a far superior squad of players to Southampton too tbh. So Pochettino could do some really good things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he deserves credit for that but as I've already said he got them doing what everyone expected they were capable of considering the 100m they signed the summer before. Again I refer to the absolute arsehole he proved himself to be more consistently than he managed to get his team winning. Can't see why you choose to ignore this point.

leffe186 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I sort of agree with Ronaldo - on the face of it, what Sherwood did this season was miraculous. He had never managed so much as a paper bag before, yet had a 12-3-6 record in the league, which was the fifth best over that period. He also took a team that was struggling to score and squeezed more goals out of them than Arsenal managed in the same period (in one less game too). Also, it's slightly disingenuous to suggest that Bentaleb did nothing, given that he was really, really good at SJP. It's clear that playing Bentaleb was (1) Sherwood making a very clear point that AVB should have been bringing the kids through and that (2) that was what Levy wanted too. Ditto Adebayor. Ultimately, Sherwood was rightly sacked because he is just not ready yet - not a versatile enough man-manager or tactician. I thought he came across as considerably less of an arsehole than I suspected - nobody really likes him at Spurs - and his candour was actually somewhat refreshing at times. He's just a bit too much of an arrogant prick . My respect for him actually increased considerably, yet I was still fucking ecstatic that he was sacked, and I'm chuffed he's no longer with the club. I think he was a bad influence behind the scenes, and I think that's one reason why Poch stands a better chance of succeeding in the long term than AVB.

Bentaleb is a player I wouldn't even wish upon my worst enemy. He had no business to be on the pitch ahead of some players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Any of our resident Spurs fans (or anyone else) have seating suggestions for WHL? Need 2 seats together for the league cup match. Looks like my options are the North Stand or West Stand (mostly upper). Trying to avoid pillars and have a decent view of the away support. Your ticketing website kind of sucks by the way.
