I don't know, maybe he was f-ucked and is just not fit enough.
Trouble is, if Sherwood wants to accommodate Ade, then he has to drop into the midfield on their deep midfielder consistently.
442 cannot work otherwise. Our 2 central midfielders will be running around trying to get the ball, instead of on it and looking to pass.
That's why most of our goals since Sherwood have been on the break.
Has he got the temperament or the fitness?
That remains to be seen.
However, from experience I say no, Let's hope he proves me wrong.
Oh, and as soon as Defoe is fit, I would not be surprised if goes straight into the team at Soldado's expense, and not because Soldado is playing badly.
