Former Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood has been slammed by football fans on social media.
The ex-Spurs and Aston Villa coach stated that modern managers were “brainwashing people" using certain terminology to talk about the game.
Sherwood, who was also briefly director of football at Swindon Town, was railing against modern coaching on talkSPORT.
“Listen the game is exactly the same as it was way back in the day. The terminology is changed. You are getting baffled by science, talking about half-spaces, low blocks, mid-blocks – nonsense," he said.
"It's all about counter-attacking, pressing,. All this rubbish about press from the front, this team does this, no-one tackled me more than Ian Rush, he was a center forward, I was a midfield player – now that is pushing from the front.
"The game is exactly the same, the terminology and the brainwashing what is coming in from these modern managers is just incredible at the moment."
