    We look like AVB's Spurs without any organisation and massive gaps between the lines. Saying that though, we look like a team playing with zero confidence.

    I have a bit of room for optimism because if TS can improve the confidence (which might be what he's doing by playing 442 in order to get us scoring) the tactics can be fixed easily enough.

    Which ones? Don't think we will be as bad as we were under Gross or Ramos but we are a far cry from the last 3 seasons. I'm sure we will improve as the season goes on, but what if we don't ... What if we are still this bad in 8 weeks time, levy wouldn't sack 2 managers in a season would he...

    The one thing AVB's Spurs had was organisation. But sure what's the point..................

    And it's clear already that Sherwood couldn't take a tactical shíte.. But sure onwards and upwards.......

    AVB

    Plan A - failed to execute.
    Plan B - Non existent.

    Sherwood...

    Plan A - Non existent.

    Sherwood gave an interview regarding why he is the "right" man.

    "It's a gamble because I've never done it before. There are lot of good managers who had never done it before and become a success."

    saved the best for last... "I was never a professional player until I stepped on the field."

    Jeez the backlash after one game is unreal.

    It was a bad game. But lads chill out for 5 minutes. It's only his third game in charge. Atleast give him a bit of time to bed into the role.

    Gutted to say this but apart from the free kick Eriksen looked brutal.

    Aren't we just waiting for whoever takes over from Sherwood? Its only a question of how much time we waste waiting.

    First game we threw away a lead, capitulated if you will.
    Southampton we got lucky.
    Today we were pants, completely lost.

    If Levys plan is to languish in mid table for the rest of the season it's working. Sherwood is not Redknapp Mk II, he has no credentials yet he's in charge of a top club, our club.

    Tim's inexperience (naivety) will cost us dearly for the remainder of the season. We'll probably beat the less organised sides but get found out terribly against the better ones.

    It's gonna be hard to watch lads, buy a crash helmet!;)

    The concern is that there are some very blatant problems/holes.

    I agree. When Malky Mackay was just about to get shipped out at Cardiff, there was the usual line of pundits stating that that there would be dozens of managers lining up willing to take on Vincent Tan for the chance to manage a premiership club. Imagine how many would be willing to take up position at Spurs. The only thing to admire about Tim Sherwood is how he has manouvered the situation to get the job.

    Bentaleb and the younger Spurs will get their run to peddle the idea that Sherwood understands the youth, whether or not they should be in the team on merit.

    Would like to have Benny recalled though.

    Sherwood is an awful appointment for 18 months, I'm so negative and disappointed about the whole thing

    Rumours abound that Jamie Redknapp is to be appointed as a member of the coaching staff.

    They can't affect what's going on on the pitch.levy is at fault but let's get behind the team. We're down alot of first teamers.people complained when we played 5 at home, now the complaint is we're too attacking and open.I've said it before, our defence is poor.something is wrong at the lane, we're better away from home.and for the record, I didn't think we were lucky against southampton, created good openings against a good team

    Well we didn't lose so that's a positive, didn't see the game. Struggled against this lot last season home/away. Bring on Stoke.

    The funny thing is, had we won yesterday we would have only been 3 points off fourth! Frustrating.

    All 3 were rubbish IMO, and all have been poor signings so far.

    Surprised, usually I get a grilling for taking Soldado's name in vein.

    But I suppose the longer he is playing ****e it will only lead to people losing faith in him.

    He did cost £13m + £13m in addons so I'm only guessing that he's a long way away from reaching those addons.
