Dowd's desperate to give them decisions, isn't he? Diame backs into Naughton and they get a foul? Really?
Sandro's been out for so long that he's grown an embarrassing 70s tache. He and Soldado replace Sigurdsson and Paulinho. Dowd instantly gives a foul against him for going somewhere near Carroll.
Noble tries to replicate Vertonghen's shorts removal trick v Villa and somehow escapes a foul and a booking. Sherwood rants and raves to no avail.
Sandro goes in the book for a nothing foul in midfield. Cheers, Phil. Carroll off, another lanky twat on.
Really obvious handball by Taylor, who flails at it in a blatant fashion, but Dowd's content not to give us anything. He's consistent, you have to give him that. He's also from Stoke, so he might be trying to give a bit back for last week.
The ref doesn't pick our team, he doesn't coach our team, he doesn't choose our tactics. He is not responsible for our abysmal half arsed approach. That is Sherwood and Levy. Suggesting that the ref is somehow against us just deflects from the fact that we are very poor
Well there's only one match more that we have to put up with Sherwood for. Yes plenty of players out there were crap and deserve the blame but Sherwood can't **** off soon enough, I honestly think he's been trying to lose our last 2 matches.
