Nuno Out

2,500 posts by the end of the season?

I would judge improvement by results, in which case we haven’t improved.

I pray he proves me wrong today because we are desperate for a win.

Yes let's change manager for the 4th time in 18 months, that always ends well

yes, I agree. keep employing tactically useless cunts, by all means replace them. it isn't our money anyway, let that midget fucker keep finding the millions to waste on the next failure

 

We

"tactically useless"
He proved with Wolves, Forest and in Saudi that he's a very good manager, didn't do as badly at Spurs as most believe, or any worse than the majority of managers they've employed in the last 20 years and wasn't given time. Look at Frank struggling now.

We will get better the longer he's here, we've already improved massively, just need to convert that into wins, changing again, especially with Sullivan in charge won't change a thing and probably only secure relegation. Nuno is the best man for the job all things considered. 
Needs time and a few of his own signings.

Agree Massive. When you literally have no plan or idea you just make it up as you go. That means there is a high risk of recruiting the wrong managers and players.  

On the subject of Paqueta, feeding his ego is liable to see him attempt even more impossible “Hollywood” passes and chips. For every good one you get 3 cheap turnovers of possession to the opposition and very often in dangerous areas of the pitch. He plays for Brazil, he makes some great passes. I guess Nuno sees that and ignores the wastefulness and loss of possession stuff. If so, Paqueta is a great player

Ideally they should have got it right by moving Moyes on and getting in the impressive Glasner out of work (so Sullivan can't even use that as an excuse not to go for him) when we had the chance but oh no, now look at us. That would mean planning, progressiveness and forward thinking though for that to happen. Thank Sullivan and Brady for all this preventable mess.

Gary O’Wall it is then ?

Another shitty defeatist line up from Nuno today.

[Massive Attack]

Nuno loves the crackpipe, the homeless looking tramp

 

[Far Cough UKunt]

Nuno loves to talk the talk but I don't think he's figured out how to walk the walk?

[Come On You Irons]

He is our best player you twat

Paqueta better than Bowen? Yeah right.

[pdcwhu]

He is our best player you twat

[Come On You Irons]

I read an article in The Telegraph this morning stating that Nuno considers Paqueta our best player.

That sums up the incompetence of the man. Paqueta should honestly be dropped, yet this chump rates him as our best player. Ridiculous.

[eusebiovic]

Just reading that this twat plus Sullivan are looking at Chris Woods and Strand Larsen. If that's the case the twat should be sacked now. Fulkrug, lump no pace, Woods, lump no pace, Larsen, lump with no pace, Wilson, no legs at all. Wonder why were getting relegated.

Grim

The thing with Wood is we just don't have the pace or creativity on the wings that Forest had to regularly stick the ball onto his enormous noggin.

Larsen's confidence looks shot to pieces so I can't see much joy there either

I still think it’s strange that none of his backroom staff came, they might have made the difference.

[Texas Iron]

Sadly I’m totally unimpressed by Nuno…

shows very little fighting spirit that is needed in our situation…

Behind on Points…

Poor goal difference…

Oddball selections…

Unbalaned low quality squad…

Cant score…Can’t defend…

Comatose displays on the touch lines…

Incompetent Chairman & Vice Part-Timer…

We will surely be one of the 3 relegated…

For the people that keep harping on about Earthy being on the bench - what do you think he can bring to a game?

Is he gonna get us a goal? 

Yes. It only took him within 30 minutes of Premier League football to score and feel there's plenty more where that comes from. He's got elusive movement and quick footwork in the box I like to see whenever he plays at any level. He's consistent in that respect and personally feel he could be consistent in the Prem for us if given a proper chance. Get him in the matchday squads regularly then I expect him to grasp the opportunity. I said the same thing in different respective positions for both Potts and Scarles. They just needed a decent chance to prove themselves and Earthy for me would be no different. 

And sure if he does get given a proper run of games to prove himself and fails to make the grade then OK it hasn't worked. Not to even try though whilst he's back fit and willing when we don't exactly have a great array of attacking options is unacceptable. We're getting to the stage where we almost have nothing to lose in our current dire situation. Give the lad a go...

For the people that keep harping on about Earthy being on the bench - what do you think he can bring to a game?

Is he gonna get us a goal? Is he gonna help us defend a lead?

The answer to both of those questions is no.

That’s why we have Soucek/Guido/Irving on the bench.

Oh yes the prolific Guido and Irvine. Joke poster. 

They’ll help us defend a lead, you mug.

The only 2 games we've managed to hold a lead under Nuno, they've both sat on the bench.

[Massive Attack]

the biggest problem we have isn't who we're playing, it's the current manager's negativity and safety first shit approach. but at least he was cheap

I still think our biggest problem is our players. 

 

 

They are of course a big part of it but the evidence points to the managers as well getting worse.
Win ratio - Lopetegui 31.8%, Potter 24%, Nuno 16.6%.

That's indication of using much the same pool of players - apart from actually enjoying having Wilson, Diouf, Fernandes, Magassa now on the books since the start of last season and the emergence of Potts - yet the performances/outcome has got progressively worse which points to managers performing worse dealing with the situation. Crackhead has to take a fair chunk of the blame too this season, not just the players. 

[fraser]

I'm not sure it's the players, we've squandered leads against Bournemouth and Brighton which I'd definitely put down to over negative tactics and poor subs. The line ups against Brentford and Leeds.. So while the squad could be better I don't think it's just that. We looked good against Villa in spells but I won't criticise him for that as everyone seems to be losing to them. 

But his negativity is definitely a big part of it.

I still think our biggest problem is our players. They're either shit or don't care. How many will be bothered if we go down Soucek? Bowen?  Bowen will not be playing in the championship, he'll be off 
Wan bissaka didn't decide he was Congolese until he joined west ham. He obviously doesn't give a shit and has fucked off for a month over there. 

There's only so much a manager can do.

I'm not praising any of the players, but it must be disheartening playing under consecutive cunts that are quite happy with the other team having the ball, and playing not to lose rather than to win
