Nuno Espirito Santo

[wassy04]

And about 50% of the players.

You're saying he'd fallen out with around 12-13 players? I'm sorry I don't believe that.

The players that he'd allegedly fallen out with haven't contributed post Cooper either.

Yes that is exactly what I am saying.

I just don't believe that many players would literally have fallen out with him. Everything that has previously been said on the man was of someone that was both well liked and well respected. 

Now maybe I could believe there was a group of players that were unhappy and would prefer him to leave because they weren't playing. However, aside from Worrall/Montiel I can't see any evidence to suggest there was a large group of players that had completely fallen out with him.

There were a number of players where the relationship was  of good at the end.
Wood, Neco, Yates just to name a few

" was  of good at the end"?

Nothing against Nuno but i do expect him to be sacked regardless of what division we are in come the end of the season. I said it at the time, and i still see it now, that he was a sideways step from cooper (who had to go). I was hopeful at the start because we seemed to be a little bit fast in the attack, however that then dropped off and we were just as before. But like with cooper i want him to succeed as i want the club to succeed but we are just doing the same things we have done under cooper and somehow expect a different outcome. I just don't see a manager/coach in him that given a pre-season would change the way we play or effect us enough to improve the team.

The issue with Cooper wasn't the football though (apart from that Fulham game). It was that he'd fallen out with the owners

And about 50% of the players.

Total and absolute horse manure

Spiteful nonsense

I'm not having that. In fact I know that not to be true.

Fair play tonight Nuno lad.. fair play..

[The reds]

4 wins, 3 draws, 7 defeats. Not too bad. 15pts from 14 games. That first half was an absolute treat.

Shame there’s no hand cupping an ear emoji…

[Marco Polo]

Best performance I’ve seen since we’ve been back in the premier league. Hats off to Nuno - that first half was brilliant.

Let’s back the man and the team and get safe!

Masterclass from Nuno. What a manager.

We have gone for losing 5-0 to them to now beating them 3-1.

On top of beating Manure and Newcastle. Aina makes a big difference for us, we missed him badly during the Afcon time.

Also again nice to get it reinforced again that MGW thinks Nuno is a brilliant and underrated manager.

I said we needed to see something or I saw him leaving end of season. Providing that this game wasn't a one off then maybe this could be it. I'm still on the fence but the manager does deserve the praise for getting the win. Team was attacking and aggressive from the start.

Yes thanks a lot for that SM.

What do I have to be spiteful about?

Some of you lot just don't like to hear the truth.

Well that is interesting because I know that it is true.

So just to be clear I said about 50%.

We have a 25 man squad so here goes...

1. Vlachodimos.
2. Aurier.
3. Montiel.
4. Tavares.
5. Worrall.
6. Mckenna.
7. Santos.
8. Origi.
9. Omobamidele.

Then we chuck in the 3 that Reds73 mentioned (Reds73 doesn't write bullshit) which are Williams, Yates and Wood.

so that is 12 players out of a 25 man squad which is about 50% which is what I said.

Just for the record if I want to be picky he also fell out with O'Brian and Shelvey.

So I rest my case.

So see you later I'm off.

What an incredibly strange post. Are you going to add any evidence to back that up?

Besides our current head coach is Nuno and this is his thread so please can we talk about him. If you really want to carry on this argument lets do so in the archive section because its disrespectful to Nuno considering he has just delivered the best 45 minutes of football since we returned to the PL.
