Nuno Out

You not prepared to give him some time 

I'm not the one asking for him to be sacked and praised him for keeping the unbeaten run going but I won't sugarcoat some of his shocking decisions or how we played surrendering the ball for 76% against Bournemouth either. 

[fraser]

I thought Paquetá is shit and most want him dropped yet you can't expect too much when he's missing cause we need him... 

[Eerie Decent]

You not prepared to give him some time to bring in some players to try to mend the damage done by the 2 previous clowns we had managing us, including your mate who managed Spain U19's that you used to watch?

2nd half was shocking, and the Wilson sub was too early, but fuck me, look at the bench options.

Just goes to show some of you how important Paqueta actually is. We badly need a back up winger as well as a striker in Jan, just as important as a centre back, Summerville is too injury prone.

3 new players in key positions, and let's see. We looked dead and buried before he turned up, he's made some mistakes, but we're now in with a chance of staying up at least.

[Massive Attack]

Out of curiosity I wondered who holds the record for the lowest ever passes made in the Premier League and it's newly promoted Forest playing at Anfield under Steve Cooper with 85 passes. To put that in to context we managed 119 passes against Bournemouth and we've been back in the Premier League for 15 consecutive seasons in a row. GSB Anti-Football lives on.

[Sir Alf]

Sullivan and Brady still playing the PSR card and again have their propaganda outlets talking about having to sell before we buy but without a better CB, another athletic midfielder and central striker we will be hard pushed to stay up imo. At CB Mavropanos in place of Kilman might need to be tried

Nuno imo needs to start giving minutes to Magassa and some other U21 players like Earthy because our squad options are very limited if yesterday’s bench was anything to go by. 

[Massive Attack]

Come on Jaan, you know you should be grateful of seeing West Ham gifting 76% possession away to
Man City Bournemouth, as well as relying on route one Football for 1 of our goals that even Joe Kinnear would have been proud of. A neutral watching on could have been forgiven for thinking we were down to 10 men with how allergic we were to the ball.

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

I would say it’s a bit of weird take after 7 points from 9. Two of which we scored three and a but for a last second Areola catastrophe would have been back to back 3-1 wins. 

How many points did you expect from those three games?

Sure he’s made some negative subs, and there was the two games of bizarre lineups which he seems to have largely learned from, but we’re in the trenches and he’s getting us points. 

If you think it’s worse than Potter when we never had any shots, couldn’t win at home, conceded at nearly every fucking corner, and passed it aimlessly sideways when we did have the ball, you need to give your head a wobble. 

Selective stats there. It's actually 8 points from 21 since Nuno came in. Or 8 points from 7 games to put it another way, which is basically relegation form.

 

Well, yeah. I’m talking about most recent form, clearly. We’ve done to death the bizarre selections for Leeds and Brentford, I was highly critical. 

Once he landed on the best eleven, I’ve slightly afforded him a clean slate. We were without two major factors in that best eleven yesterday. Paqueta for ball retention, and making us tick, Summerville for pace on the break. 

Yes, the 2nd half was shit. But on the strength of what I’ve seen in Everton away, Newcastle and Burnley at home and the first half against Bournemouth, it’s night and day to the two previous wallies. Brentford and Leeds was diabolical as documented, and Arsenal is just what it is this season. 

We didn’t win a home game since February under Potter! Must have been much better to watch than Nuno’s back to back home wins where we scored six goals though. 

 

 

The second half at Everton and the Newcastle game are the only good moments under Nuno so far.  Burnley was a dire game, gifting a majority of possession at home to the team with the worst possession average in the division. A winning tactic maybe, but still awful football. 

200 passes to Bournemouth’s 600, whilst conceding nearly 30 shots at goal isn’t in any shape tactically progressive from Potter.

Fantastic 2nd half of Football old chum!

Fucking happy-clappy cսnt.

Seeing as the last two managers failed miserably to improve on Moyes, whom despite winning a European trophy  most fans wanted replaced because his football was shit., I'm not seeing the controversy, even if that was true?

I reckon you’ve said that for the last four managers, you old nause.

I never mentioned anything about points. I was criticising the football. That second half performance was worse than anything I saw under both the last two managers and it was purely tactical to park the bus. They managed around 80 passes in the entire half and I don’t think we once got in their box.

[Massive Attack]

It does all have a feel of Moyes MKII about his footballing philosophy. Systematic of GSB's reign of terror mostly playing anti-Football during their time in charge of the Club.

[Gank]

28% win rate.

Hard to know what’s really going on behind closed doors. Wilson didn’t look too happy though about being subbed. From the moment he scored that header away at Forest we all saw something we haven’t seen at our club for years- a proper Number 9 capable of scoring goals regularly in the Premier League. It’s a real shame we don’t have a youngster with similar build and instincts to Wilson (Mubama?) who he could mentor. Maybe we’ll buy such a player in the transfer window. Maybe pigs will be spotted on the wing above Rush Green. 

[Massive Attack]

I have always believed in Wilson as a Striker just resent the fact we have to resort to him as a Club at the arse end of his career on a Freebie because we are now 'skint' and desperate at the time. Once here though there was no doubt in my mind he'd be our best Striker even now and certainly over the German carthorse waster. Overall so far under Nuno I think his treatment of Wilson has been shocking and want to see it improved. We would benefit a lot more if he did that instead of constantly holding him back.

[El Scorchio]

Had a re-cap on how Nuno has managed Wilson so far:

Everton A - Fullkrug up top left on the bench

Arsenal A - Ineffective Fullkrug again and overlooks Wilson completely chucking on an Academy Forward

Brentford H - Paqueta up top this time and remains on the bench for an inexperienced Academy player again

Leeds A - Paqueta up top again whilst leaving him still on the bench

Newcastle H - Finally sees the fucking light and starts him in a convincing win against a good side

Burnley H - Starts him again before taking him off on 70 mins having scored

Bournemouth A - Starts him scoring 2 goals 1st half but decides nah that's enough Football for you son and hauls him off once more barely in to the start of the 2nd half 


I wouldn't blame Wilson for getting the right hump with him if it continues in this way. 


 

To be fair most people without the power of hindsight would have and were calling for Wilson not to start ahead of Fullkrug before he went full cսnt and also for Marshall to start ahead of Wilson before it transpired he’s not ready. 

I don’t really have a massive problem with managing his minutes if it’s to maximise his chances of remaining fit and for his own good seen as it’s clear now he’s the first (and only viable) choice striker at the club until January at least and if he now gets injured we are utterly fucked. It’s not Nuno’s fault Sullivan’s mismanagement has been so bad that the striker situation as the club is like it is. 

I do have to be fair to the man though. I cunted him off like anything when he joined and really questioned the sanity of the transfer but he’s really bought into it and is giving his all.

He's still a Cunting Fuckface.

Nuno’s football is hands down the worst I’ve ever seen.

Yes let's make it 5 managers in 18 months as he's only picked up 7 pts from the last nine after only being here for 6 weeks.
Then you can start demanding the next manager is sacked after a few weeks

Who is calling for Nuno to be sacked? I'm certainly not, though I admit to being livid at the way he threw both the Brentford and Leeds games with insane team selections.

I've felt the same. His wacky tactics need to be put to a stop having thrown 2 points away in a commanding winning position, just as he threw 6 winnable points away against both Brentford and Leeds with some of the most bizarre tactics seen in a long time.

The rest of the time he's got it right and got justified praise for it from myself and others and don't want him sacked, I just want him to stop shooting himself in both feet time and again.

Bear in mind he's doing this against winnable opposition when we should be picking up points off them before we then play the top Clubs who have the ability to role us over with ease.

0-2 up at Half Time, it was definitely 2 valuable points dropped. We cannot afford to be picky and clever when the opportunity comes by to take all 3. Yet he thought best to take off our best player on the day on a confidence boosting Hat-Trick barely a few minutes in to the 2nd half to effectively try and shut up shop which failed spectacularly anyway.

cսnt management we can ill afford to dick around with and potentially pissing off a player who we need to rely on scoring our goals up top, as the Squad struggles with confidence as it is near the bottom.

Drip drip drip the knicker wetting continues

[Monsieur merde de cheval]

A point away against an AFC Bournemouth  outfit  with a strong home record is not to be sniffed at..

We are shite..and some...THE CLUB DESERVE   RELEGATION ...THEY REALLY DO.
 looking at the table and the clubs we're competing against  we are definitely in the shit and prime relegation fodder.
  Leeds Utd and Burnley being  consistently  shittier than   shit  will be the only fing that's saves the boards bacon
 

[fraser]

The stench of piss I’m here it’s disgusting. 3 games ago the same suspects were saying we would only get 1 point from
the next 3 matches, we got 7.

Three games  ago you wanted him out

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

8 goals in 3 games and we still complain. Only at West Ham

Second worst goal difference in the Premier League whilst hovering over the relegation zone, despite being the 16th richest club in Europe.
