Just because you want to play attacking football doesn't mean you have to leave yourself tactically exposed.

Don't leave yourself outnumbered in midfield particularly when it's so blatantly obviously what Swansea were going to do.

Playing attacking football is an attitude opposed to a formation...the formation is part of your tactical thinking. How can you set the team up to dominate this game.

I'm not saying Tim will fail longterm or that he hasn't improved things because he certainly has but he needs to be cuter than what he showed today.

Ya I don't disagree with you and today some of my concerns about his appointment were shown up.
When Westwood came on , Delph was given license to roam and started to look great so he could have started with that 3 in the middle.

Sunderland in late loser as well, so no New Manager bounce there yet. Amongst bottom 5 all losses yet - with QPR still to play Everton. Can see Hull losing to Chelsea too.

BUNK1982 · 23-03-2015 9:51am

The bottom 7 sides all lost although West Brom do have a bit of breathing room - so things could be worse.

Disappointing to lose on Saturday as we were on a good run but Swansea are going well this year.

WB have a horrible last 5 games though. They play Chelsea, Arsenal, united and Liverpool (and Newcastle away). They essentially need to be safe with 5 games to go. Which they could be - they have QPR, Leicester and Palace in the next 3.

I'd actually rather they just beat QPR and Leicester.

If anyones interested some Irish lad is just coming onto newstalk who is the Villa stats man.

Pinch of salt with this one of course...

Neil Moxley is reporting Lerner has agreed a deal to sell to a UK based group.

Being reported in a couple of papers today

*MOST UNLIKEY POST OF THE YEAR*

Glad to see Senderos back in training.

Playing Man Utd tomorrow but the game on Tuesday versus QPR At home is much more important. We have to win that one really.

Patser · 03-04-2015 1:40pm

Can't afford to think like that. Win tomorrow and Tuesday is suddenly a lot less important. Going out tomorrow, thinking this is not a chance and focusing all on Tuesday is a recipe for disaster. Think of each game as a chance.

If you think that's crazy talk, remember what Burnley did after we beat Sunderland and thought all our problems are sorted.

LeBash · 03-04-2015 3:01pm

Van Persie is out tomorrow.

OneColdHand · 03-04-2015 3:55pm

Pity! They've looked better since they dropped Falcao and RVP, and started playing Rooney up front on his own.

listermint · 04-04-2015 10:14am

This ain't on the TV I assume ?

LeBash · 04-04-2015 10:26am

Nope.

Patser · 04-04-2015 11:03am

Today FM have it on the radio

Patser · 04-04-2015 2:07pm

Guzan Hutton Clark Okore Lowton Delph Sanchez NZogbia Gabby Benteke Weimann

Weimann instead of Gil or Bacuna hmmm.

Vlaar and Baker back on bench so at least defensive options are coming back. And 4 out and out attackers starting so Sherwood sticking to the 'Go For It ' ideal.

Kinet1c · 04-04-2015 2:15pm

"Tom Cleverley, on loan at Aston Villa, is ineligible to play against his parent side" .... amazing

Patser · 04-04-2015 3:17pm

QPR and Leicester leading

Villa under pressure

Patser · 04-04-2015 3:20pm

Mind you Hull now losing so we've moved up a place as things stand.

Patser · 04-04-2015 3:44pm

QPR on a rampage 3-0 up

Bollox Utd score.

CSF · 04-04-2015 3:45pm

Today is not going well at all.

Patser · 04-04-2015 4:22pm

Losing 1-0, take off NZogbia bring on Baker.....

WTF Sherwood?

OK pushing Bacuna forward but still...

Corholio · 04-04-2015 4:32pm

Been absolutely hapless so far. Offering zero going forward. Its only 1-0 and playing like 5-0 down.

Corholio · 04-04-2015 4:38pm

Even Joe Cole on ahead of Gil. It was nice while it lasted Carles. Ridiculous imo.

There it is, 2-0. QPR winning handily too. Sherwood needs to buck up his ideas.

Edit: 2-1 Benteke

Bleating Lamb · 04-04-2015 10:18pm

So how bad is Hutton injury?

Patser · 05-04-2015 1:36pm

Ok Death1234 now we can say all attention is on Tuesday. Back under pressure again big time and again stuck hoping for other teams playing today to mess up.

All that said, my own gut opinion is that the biggest result yesterday was Hull's loss. Like our loss to Swansea last week, Hull's loss to them yesterday will have hurt. They would have seen that as a game they could have got something from and as I keep harping on, their run in is a nightmare. Still see them going down.

LeBash · 05-04-2015 1:39pm

I dont see Hull going down. Id say one of Burnley or QPR will get out and Sunderland will get pulled in. Id like to see Sunderland stay up but cant see it now.

LeBash · 05-04-2015 4:10pm

Only thing I've seen so are is TS saying it doesn't look good. Bacuna has been a really good attacking threat at RB since TS took over. Let's hope there isn't much defending to do on Tuesday.
