The Premier League 2023/24

[Salvatore Matrecano]

I haven’t checked stats but I would be interested to know share of possession and number of shots etc Nuno vs Cooper.
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.

You are joking right?

Cooper more or less sacked himself.

He was barely  on speaking terms with anyone at the club when he left and he was struggling to put 11 players on the field who were willing to put a shift in for him.

The unity was zero and like I have said a thousand times he made his own position untenable. 

When is the penny going to drop with some of you lot?

I respect you far too much to have a go Sniffer but this is exaggerated.

I totally accept his relationship with EM was beyond toxic and for that reason alone his position was untenable. Add to that performances were going from bad to worse, it was time for a change.

But to say he was barely on speaking terms with anyone and sacked himself is well over the top. He had a massive task gelling a huge squad with a big turnover of players, some of the new ones who had been promised they would come in to play and then weren’t getting picked, old faces who were no longer getting picked, it was a very difficult balancing act.

Whats done is done, comparisons are irrelevant and as I have said anyone who wants their team to lose just to say I told you so on an internet forum is not a fan. Just don’t like to see revisionism of history.
