You're right though, Nuno has lost it. He condemns Kilman to the bench for 3 games then mysteriously brings him back,  his weird inverted full back experiment which failed once so spectacularly that he thought it made sense to try it again, his continual use of Rodriguez etc etc

 

I do get that, it's just how poorly he has done overall in the points we've picked up and how badly we play looking so incoherent. Also the fact he continues to make decisions with repeated self-inflicting gunshots to both feet needlessly. Examples being underplaying a decent Prem Striker Wilson, banishes Ward-Prowse from the Squad the second he walks in, plays full backs on the wrong side of defence, Paqueta up top, switching between an unsettled back 3/4, awful Subs.

So it goes beyond just having a dogshit squad which is undeniable and we do cut him some slack with it. If this really is how he wants to go about it then an early change may well be a better option than this. Proof of how it could work? Take Forest the Team he left early doors and Dyche turning them around instantly, relying on the same set of players and sticking to good ideas and motivating them to perform above usual levels.

 

I get that, too... and some decisions are plain baffling. I just cant imagine who is out there that could do better with this detritus. That bench today was dreadful 

It was but again, partly of his own making. Ward-Prowse should at least be an option on there, so should Earthy and Marshall but instead he floods it mainly with Defensive players which says everything. No doubt his hands are tied but fuck me, this prat is actively trying to saw his own arms off with a circular saw at the same time.

Im not sure if it was stupidity or arrogance but the board let it happen.

maybe we should ask to share grounds with orient or Dagenham next season. At least it would be full.
