Tim Sherwood was Incredible

Tim managed several games, and despite managing draws and losses, I think he accomplished something unimaginable. He was given the worst possible conditions. The players and fans were at an all-season low following a devastating loss. The club itself is a logistical nightmare with a change in coaching staff and the loss of Bale, not to mention the unpopularity of Levy from the fanbase. Now a old and jaded Sherwood had to somehow take this group of demoralized and unconfident players, plagued with injuries and lack of form, and played a revitalized Aston Villa .

He had no resources, no support, and had to face some of the best managers in the world in a heated and pressure-filled time of the season. These are moments where even the greatest and most experienced of managers falter. Yet, we managed to comeback for a win against DniproHow many managers came anywhere near to closing a two goal deficit on aggregate against Dnipro?Tim Sherwood has.

Obviously, it’s not to say these are ‘good’ results. But like, how? How has Tim given me hope? How has he taken players like Adebayor, Danny Rose, Kyle Walker, and Lewis Holtby, who all had a very bumpy season, and given them new light? While I wait impatiently for the season to end, and hope for a bright future with a new manager, I find comfort in this man who himself was put in a very uncomfortable position, yet does what he could for the club.
