Nottingham Forest - Fulham

[wassy04]

Why are people getting defensive about Nuno? Some of us thought the way he set up was a mistake. So what it happens, Im sure he learned from it too. Whats the problem of saying it how it is?

By the way, the best team won IMO, stop blaming refs and fine margins, take your garibaldi specs off and look what happened. Again its no problem its the premier league, we will be second best in some games.

Agreed, Cooper took way more stick for much more marginally negative decisions than playing 4 central midfielders at home. I think the lack of ambition at home to a mid table team was disappointing and opened us up to a narrow loss.

Cooper hadn't won for 13 games (now 19).

We don't have that problem under Nuno thank God.

First sign of a crack and you are on his back and comparing apples and pears.

Unbelievable Jeff.

What's that about being defensive? 

I'm aware there were more issues with Cooper than just the negative tactics, doesn't mean this isn't comparable. 

Comparing two very similar tactics is fine though, fwiw I'm ok and was ok previously with playing low block style negative tactics away against better teams. Just at home to a team we decimated last year, I'd of expected a similar tactic to that, is that not fair?

One thing that surprises me about Nuno, if he's going to play negatively, why not play the same tactic he used so effectively with Wolves? If he doesn't want to pick wingers, then why not play wingbacks? More of a question than a criticism but he can't have thought we'd create much playing with 4 central midfielders yesterday.
