Style of play has been much better under Nuno, look at the shot statistics and XG difference between the two. The subs were very poor against Luton but there has been an improvement.
Nunos had 12 games getting 11 points with Cooper getting 7 points from his last 12.
For me Nunos biggest...
Not sure why Sangare is getting criticism when he has played 40 minutes in the last 14 games. The last game he started was probably our best result of the season.
Give him a start this weekend and see how he gets on. Now that Mangala has gone surely he will be getting a run in the team.
Lost a lot of faith in Nuno today, terrible line up with zero attacking threat. Having two 21year olds at centre back for a relegation battle is concerning, especially as it seems to be his first choice pairing.
If he picks a similar team next week we ll get turned over by Luton, we need to...
Selz
Montiel
Murillo
Niakhate
Tavares
Yates
Dominguez
Elanga
MGW
Reyna
Awoniyi
That would be my team, depending on fitness. Possibly Toffolo or Williams left back and Danilo could come in at CM. Not convinced by him defensively though
Done nothing since he scored that worldy on his debut. Hoping he would come good, but we desperately need more wingers.
Id take Tavares at LW over CHO at the moment
We made hard work of that one! Hopefully the injuries arent too bad.
For me it highlighted why we need to keep Mangala. If we sold him and MGW was injured, who starts in midfield? IF we do have to sell him we should hold out until deadline day to get a few more games out of him, i would be...
My prediction for the team which is a bit harsh on Yates, could be anything in reality.
Vlach
Boly
Murillo
Niakhate
Williams
Mangala
Sangare
Aina
CHO
MGW
Elanga
Hopefully Boly starts, he’s been our player of the season for me. With Felipe at the back we conceded 5 and looked a shambles v Fulham, i would stick with Boly Murillo Niakhate if they are all fit.
Im quite happy with that starting eleven, Origi deserves a chance up front as Wood isnt doing the business. MGW has been below par all season so lets get wingers in their natural position.
Dominguez deserves to come back in, as does Aina so cant really grumble. It would “last roll of the dice”...
In game management is a worry, i was happy enough with the line up but when we played so poorly, and Wood is kept on for the full 90 minutes you have to wonder what’s going on.
Same with Dominguez and Aina being left on the bench all game, 2 of our better performers recently. Big week ahead...
