Points are what matters obviously but I suspect we make games a much more even contest under Nuno.
Shooting wise under Nuno 138 shots 50 on target in 12 games - 11.5 shots, 4 on target per game
18 goals from 17.93 XG
Shooting wise under Cooper 185 shots 54 shots on target in 17 games - 10.8 shots, 3.2 on target per game
17 goals from 18.83 XG
Possession wise
Cooper - 39.6%
Nuno - 36.6%
So pretty similar more effective shooting though.
Good stuff thank you, pretty much sums up the points that we so far at least have not really improved.
Do you have the same stats defensively?
It is also worth noting in Nuno's defence he has yet to play against Burnley or Sheff Utd or Palace or Everton so the stats should improve with the easier matches.
I was just reading am Athletic article that Nuno was booed briefly at the end of the game. The intangible factor of the unity provided by Cooper is a big miss.
I think this is a much underrated point.
Not just between the group of players but also in the stands.
I genuinely don’t feel the love for Nuno from those around me and, as such, I don’t feel everyone getting behind the same team with the same level of emotion and intensity.
I do wonder how much of that seeps through to the pitch.
To me it feels like we’re only a couple of terrible results from it being toxic. I didn’t feel like it was that close under his predecessor, and I was at Fulham away!!
