Nuno Out

Bilic I like as a bloke but would he really be getting us more points by playing “front foot” football ( a general term for high speed and/or possession dominant football) . With our squad / team wouldnt it be likely we find ourselves shipping lots more goals again and getting exposed / cut thru on the counter?  Trouble is the argument that we shoukd have chosen another manager to justify why the existng manager is rubbish seems to me to be a fallacious exercise or “grass is greener” thinking? We’ve been saying this same thing forever and in the current era back to Moyes. Nuno tactics not mine or most peoples preference but he aint hopeless.  However he is sadly probably about the best fit currently. The running of the club and 5 managers in 18 months is symptomatic of the root cause of everything we are seeing imo.  No simple fix unfortunately.  A first step in the right direction is a Jan window that improves the squad in the central forward area, another CB and centre mid. All need pace and physicality as well as technically decent and not too old. Unlikely we get the quality needed for all 3 areas especially if Sullivan is influencing things so minimum for me is striker.

8 managers, Moyes twice, and only Bilic had us playing attractive football but that was because he had a genius in Payet and a master in Lanzini. 



 

Myth. It was just as much about the mindset and approach as well. Remember, even Moyes had Lanzini for a time and he'd still resort to ultra min numbing tactics. Even when we moved and Payet went off the boil/was sold he'd still try and take it to Teams although suffering greatly coming to terms with the shit hole stadium at the same time. Ball and chain is actually a good description of how we often play. I think deep down you know it too being brought up on West Ham and how we like to play. 

[twoleftfeet]

Ball and fucking chain, laughable.

Allardyce
Bilic
Moyes
Pellegrini
Moyes
Lopetegui
Potter
Nuno

Moyes was lucky in that he had an all firing Rice, Antonio, Lingard ( briefly ) and Bowen plus defenders in Dawson and Zouma who knew how to defend.

Whoever we bring in will revert back to type, my only criticism of Nuno is the lack of youth such as Earthy, Fearon and Kante being given a chance. However he has played Potts and Scarles so I might be wrong.

[Massive Attack]

Two left feet, massively disagree about nobody could get a tune from these players, if Nuno unlocked the ball and chain from their ankles and no tune was there you’d have a point, but he doesn’t so the point you’re making has no grounds. If we had a have a go attitude and failed, we’d still only lose a game but to not have a go is unforgivable.

 

Indeed. I just want a manger that understands being "competive" in a game insn't keeping the score level for as long as possible by surrendering the ball, everyone deep and try to shitcunt the odd goal.

Being competitive is trying to match your opponent pass for pass, tackle for tackle, shot for shot. You might not achieve it but for fucks sake try.

The crowd will see the intent, will support the effort and the whole place will be a little happier because there is hope. If you're going to lose anyway atleast give the fans something to be proud of.

The cսnt is just serving up shameful, embarrassing, cowardly shit, it's unwatchable and fucking miserable.

Yep. It was purely Damage Limitation Football at Home against a woefully out of form and low on confidence Team, on a day we just lost a former great that embodied a proper pair of bollocks and having a go. What we did was roll over and have our little tummy's tickled in typical patronising fashion. The antithesis of what we are all about, regardless of the opposition. We didn't even try to win and it's fucking gutless, as it is depressing. 0 effort on target says it all. The BS Effect.

What gets me is Sullivan had a much cheaper option waiting in the wings in Bilic who does get that and would have had us at it a lot more than what we have been seeing these past 7 games or so. A short to medium term fix that would have brought us some time to take stock come the end of the season before getting in a manager we actually want to bring in positive front foot Football. Instead what we've done is bring in a manager that just wants to try and contain - even when we do get a player banging 2 goals in he then immediately swaps him for a Defensive Midfielder in the last match! - our Football and enjoyment whilst squeaking over the line.

Sacked right now. The way he rolled out the red carpet for a shit scouse team, the fact is if we had played with any tempo or purpose, having someone take even 1 decent fucking corner may have been a start, the scousers were there for the taking. But no, not Nuno, we may as well have played in carpet slippers, not 1 shot on target in an entire home game, disgraceful. And it will be a repeat performance again the other red cunts on Thursday. He hasn't got Summerville, how do you counteract that, change shape, make sure wing backs can get forward, its not fucking rocket science. Alternatively, stand with your arms folded or stroking your beard with no fucking clue as what to do. Useless fucker, sack him now.

So, you're on the fence then?

For me, I’m not say I’d definitely want him sacked now, but I’d like to have seen better improvement than he’s currently shown after the time he’s been here, I would say that the choices he left himself with from the bench were staggering if we were to get anything from the game. My viewpoint is Nuno’s managed one decent game v Newcastle and one half decent game v Bournemouth swiftly followed by probably the worst half of football I’ve seen for a long while. He has had time to serve up better than the shit yesterday, but I’m not seeing he’s learning anything like quickly enough.

but as the ginger div keeps saying, "We had a go"

No one's saying that you twat,why do you always revert to the extreme,typical.
There's no point sacking anyone to the end of the season when we might have the chance of new owners coming in.
Nuno doesn't need to be so ultra negative,he's lied that he will incorporate the youth,he hasn't , not one on the bench when they are playing superbly with commitment and desire.
Nuno hasn't learnt ,1 point out of 12 at first then he had to change or the sack. We attacked more against Newcastle and hey presto we win,we were lucky against Burnley who are poor. His last 2 games have been worse than Moyes,your spunk daddy,didn't learn again, 2 shots on target in 2 games.woeful.

I don’t get this “don’t go to games” argument, I don’t go to games anymore but over 50 years have attended more than my fair share home and away, now don’t live in the country but will still watch every single minute of every game so how is your “go to games “ opinion worth more than mine? It’s like me stating that my opinion is worth more than yours because I’ve got the best view in the house. 
It’s not doom and gloom posters if you’re stating what you saw with your own eyes after enough time elapsed for us to reasonably expect better.

 

Wasn't having a pop at you and get your point,more aimed at non stop miserable pricks like Talkingshite Miike who contribute absolutely nothing but doom and gloom bollocks about everything at the club 
All im saying is give Nuno a chance,yes it could go tits up like Potter
My pint is always half full 

all you're saying is absolute shit. you win games by scoring goals, not sitting back for the majority of the game, you thick ginger oddball cսnt

Now now dont piss your pants again as will make your armchair smelly

[Takashi Miike]

Got to give Nuno a chance 
Don't get these doom and gloom posters on here,especially the ones that dont even go to games what do you expect?
Play like Brazil and be 3 nil up in first 10 minutes every game?
I'm not saying he's the saviour but he's got to be backed by fans and board
I don't think we will go down or be anything special this season

Nuno currently has a worse win percentage than 'loser Lop'' and 'pathetic Potter'. In terms of win percentage and points per games, only Grant is worse than him in the Premier League era. So it is legitimate to question this bloke's record to date.

Nuno's paltry win percentage of 25% (2 wins from 8 games) could easily be down to 20% by next Tuesday with two tough away games at Brighton and Manchester United coming up.

FFS its only 8 games!!!
If he wins next 2 games it goes up to 40%
Let's judge him after say 20 games

Yes let’s sack him, get Steve Cooper in or some other unemployed manager. I bet they do so much better.

You lot would have been saying “ Lyall out “ after the 78/79 season.

You recently wanted him out yourself.

or repeatedly makes the same selections and ignores the youth players who are better than what he is using

 

 

Think should try Marshall l agree and he has given Potts more playing time than others 
It's early days as l said give him time

[THUNDERCLINT]

Two left feet, massively disagree about nobody could get a tune from these players, if Nuno unlocked the ball and chain from their ankles and no tune was there you’d have a point, but he doesn’t so the point you’re making has no grounds. If we had a have a go attitude and failed, we’d still only lose a game but to not have a go is unforgivable.

Says the armchair watching doom and gloom merchant 

[XKhammer]

it's unsustainable playing this way, especially when all your CBs are shit. so little margin for error, and almost impossible to win a game if we concede first. but it's been this way under successive managers, and that midget fucker continues punishing the fans with these dinosaur method coaches

Impossible????
You mean like against barcodes and Burnley lol
