Crap Referees

Changing from Coopers low block is like Brexit. Nobody wants to admit that it's f****d us because it makes people wrong. 

Burnley at home was the seasons turning point. Yes we've been shafted by refs but for some deranged reason we prioritised playing style over safely. We had a winning formula and threw it out the window.

Tom, medium and long term you can't build a sustainable side based on Cooper's low block football. It might work for games against the top sides where you have to stay in the game or you get murdered but for games against your equals you have to at least try to show some intent. Last season was last season, our first back in the prem. All that mattered was to finish 17th, by hook or by crook. It worked, Cooper had the balls to change his style after the Leicester away game. This season was different. There was more quality coming in and we had a platform from which to build from. It was a natural thing to try to be more progressive but Cooper couldn't find a way to do it.  Nuno came in and changed the approach and we looked half decent. Then it all went wrong with injuries, afcon, var, psr.

I like your posts, you are generally balanced and well thought out but this seems to give Nuno a cop out. 

Despite all of the points highlighted we’ve still not been good enough under Nuno as a whole. There has been no fighting spirit or siege mentality that should by rights be pretty easy to garner given the circumstances. 

We’ve just become a group of whinging victims limping from defeat to defeat.
