it may only be twitter talk but have i really read today that some fans are already calling for sherwoods head??

are these people for real? yes its not kicked off great but other than second half of the palace game i can't see what he's done wrong, i'm the same as most people and feel all problems will be solved by a goal scorer,

only other area i have slight concern is we don't seem to have a creative CM all 4 that we have are simple sit and win the ball and play it few yards,

No reason for TS to be sacked atm. I think he has done a okay job so far for us this season whilst the team is gelling and will need time. My only concerns are the use of Gabby and not fully utilising subs to affect the game or replace tired players on a very hot day. Things which will hopefully improve as his experience grows. I think he has done very well in his first ever transfer window in shifting dead wood and reshaping the team with potential. I would like a new striker to join whilst Ayew and Gestede continue to adjust, partly because I do not want our new spend not to be almost the lowest in the league yet again.

As for creative CM, I think Veretout will become this given time. He was one of the best in Ligue 1 last year and has a lot of potential.

i don't really know much about veretout all i know is what I've seen so far which is not mucch in first two games, (i get he needs time to adjust). we really need that goal scorer and right about now as much as i'm going to hate it adebayor might help plus gabby either needs selling, dropping or loaned out to a championship team to catch abit of form and confidence

Veretout won the under 20 world cup a few years ago playing in a central three with Pogba and Kondogbia. He got 7 goals and 6 assists in a poor Nantes team last year and 5 assists the year before. Also heard that he topped the Lique 1 charts for most chances created (72 apparently) but not sure if that's true or not. He has been likened to Aaron Ramsey in style of play.

didnt know all that, fair enough then maybe once he get hang of the game over here he can be usual, just seems when I've seen him play he don't get out our half, must just be sherwood asking him to hang back for now till his fitness is right or we have the right mix of players
