Nuno Out

2,500 posts by the end of the season?

I thought Nuno was just another defensive coach when we got him and not a great capture. Last night he played our backup LB at RB and our backup RB at LB. Two of the slowest (and that's f-cking slow considering all of our midfield) non creative midfielders who can't get around the pitch in midfield. Just an appalling starting XI and people wonder why we played shit. He then changed 3 of the back 4 at half time, by that time the already terrible morale was through the floor and I think we changed to a 532, I guess again confusing the players and changing the shape after 2 weeks of training trying to coach 4 across the back. Then we need a goal and he keeps Calum Wilson on the bench. The man is a complete fool and the defeat and performance was 100% on him last night.

Don’t forget he chose to hook Fernandes at half time and left Soucek and Irving on the pitch as well
100% the worst managerial display I’ve ever seen in my life 
I was actually happy with the bloke up until last night, I think his team selections from the first two games were correct, but then he’s decided the best way to win games is playing with no striker, slow midfielders and defenders playing in the wrong position 

What a genius

I'd stick Soucek at centre back, I know it's not his usual position but needs must. Kilman and Todibo aren't good enough and Mav looked like he will be out for a while. Stick three of Paqueta, Fernandes, Magassa and Potts in midfield. A minimum of three are needed in there as I said last night. Two gets over run and last nights one certainly did! Bowen right, Jimmy left and stick Callum Wilson up top. From what I've seen Marshall isn't a lone central striker in a struggling side. Wan Bissaka right and Diouf left full backs. Wan Bissaka is a full back not a wing back and one of the three central midfielders sits when either he or Diouf gets forward. Basics.

Managers and Agents continue to have Sullivan over a barrel in his times of desperation awarding Nuno with a 3 year contract after awarding Potter with a 2 and a half year contract just 6 months earlier. And this cսnt thinks he SAVES money by not paying out compo for a quality one that'll last. Emery, De Zerbi and the like were ones we should have gone for had we been prepared to show proper ambition. Villa and Marseilles gain as we only ever shop in the discount bin for out of work Managers, but still end up paying through the nose for them once their lucrative contracts need paying up anyway.

It's always short-termism fixes rather than plan properly for the long-term creating a long lasting stability at the Club. Eventually though that shit finally catches up with you..

It's thick Football economics from our slug of a Chairman.

                     Fabianski 

Wan-Bissaka Igor Kilman Diouf

                   Potts Soucek 

         Bowen Paqueta Summerville 

                         Wilson

That's what I'd go with next game against Leeds. Avoid square pegs in round holes. 

[eusebiovic]

We have a bang average squad. Nuno played a 4-3-3 counter attacking but 4-1-4-1 in defence at Forest.

This is the best XI that I can fathom from what he has to work with...Letting Edson leave for Turkey looks an even more stupid decision now than it was at the time. Piss Potter logic.

Areola
Wan Bissaka Mavro Kilman Diouf
Fernandes Soucek Paqueta
Bowen Wilson Summerville

Our second XI don't look too clever

Fabianski
KWP Todibo Igor Jesus Scarles
Magassa Guido Potts
Marshall Fullkrug Guillerme

Herman Hermits, JWP and Irving are superfluous to me

[Anders]

Fans out!

[Maverick180180]

We’re 100% going down 
but what gets the fuck up my nose about that more than anything is I don’t know if we would’ve if we’d of hired a manager for the third time in a row that picks our strongest players, plays them in the correct position and plays to our strengths 
that dirty little Welsh cսnt who deserves a stroke keeps playing the cheap option and not once in any of his interviews does he ask them what their strategy is cos he’s not used to interviewing people that he doesn’t want to fuck 

[Gank]

0% win rate

If it remains so and hasn't improved to 33.33% after the Brentford game, then that will be concerning.

I still like this bloke compared to other options but here we are.

[Mad Dog]

That team selection, substitutions ans tactics were fucking awful

Have we got the sp*rs nuno?

[Massive Attack]

The first alarm bell that went off for me was agreeing to work with our hastily knocked up together Academy Staff upon arrival whilst enjoying a nice fat contract of his own. Tonight's 'effort' was the 2nd alarm going off.


Is his heart all that in it, or is it more about the easy money gig he was really attracted too whilst still seething about losing his Forest job? Sort it out, Nuno.

[Maverick180180]

Let's face it - we have a really average bunch of players

I can't see anybody getting a tune out of this lot

No 
nonsense 
the problem is we keep hiring managers who won’t play our best players 

What is it they are seeing in training which never seems to materialize on the pitch then?

Well no you’re asking the wrong question to me 
and should be asking that to our manager 
what are you seeing in our slow as fuck zombie players in training 

[zico]

Bizarre line up, tactics and subs to say the least tonight but I reckon even a Pep Klopp double act would fail to get a tune out of our worst squad in years.

The club is so broken at every level. Nuno out is not that extreme on game 3 of his tenure based on the selections and “tactics” if there were any. Ive never seen his teams play as bad as that.  Is he another manager who’s success was more about his coaches? If so better get them in quickly.  

We are doomed. 30 games to get thru until the inevitable relegation in about Feb or March at this rate 

[fraser]

Bye Nuno, the Portuguese Moyes 

So can we be clear now you’ve decided you want the manager out after 3 games it's fair game for everyone else and anyone who does isn't a cսnt?

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

I can see him going the same way as Postecoglou. There really doesn't seem to be a winnable fixture for him.

[goose]

Pretty spectacular tonight.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a new manager get it so badly wrong in his first home game, and then somehow make it continually worse with each of his 5 subs.

[twoleftfeet]

Bye Nuno, the Portuguese Moyes 

[Hermit Road]

It’s almost an intentional display of ineptitude.

remarkable to find someone even worse than the last bloke

[Maverick180180]

The worst managerial display I’ve ever seen
 

[THUNDERCLINT]

You talk about nonces a lot

You talk about spurs a lot...

Maybe I support them, lot of us on here.

You going to the Brentford game? Fancy meeting up? See how brave you are in real life little man? Go on don’t be scared

Sounds like a plan. Time and place?

[Eerie Decent]

Under this ownership, Gary, we will always be in a state of the unknown, we could go down this season, or stay up and finish 6th next season. They are the real problem, but it just gets boring to keep talking about it, because ultimately, regardless of the protests, they aren't going anywhere.

I think we've got a manager who can get us to finish top half over the next few seasons. I actually think he could get us to play some entertaining stuff, especially at home, playing high energy fast paced football. I'll be happy with that for now, I just want to enjoy some part of it again.

It won't change the overall picture though. Because of the stadium, we need mega money oil baron types to take us over, to sort it out one way or another, and to get in highly paid football people to run that side of things. That's just where we're at.
