What would have been a tragedy is if we had lost this game or drawn. Stoke were awful. We should have been 4 up in the first half. We had 20 goal attempts to their one. Crouch was running around like a headless chicken. But I suppose it is a start. Forgetting Sherwood's first game in charge (he had only a few days with the players) we won 2 and drawn one under him and lost none. His biggest test will be against United. I am expecting a win. Spurs must keep up their momentum.
If we don't finish in the top 4 then we must question why AVB was sacked. You should only sack somebody for something better. Of course we will never know how AVB would have finished.
One other point I would like to make; They are talking about Sherwood's team as an attacking team. So was Ardiles' team; at the expense of their defence. It is no good scoring 5 if you let in six or draw 5-5. A one nil win is better than a 5-5 draw or a 6-5 defeat.
