That’s the problem mate. The players expect relegation. Nuno plays risk averse football every single first 45 mins. It speaks volumes
Do me a favour
wasting 15 minutes of game time before the neat but result-less Origi was subbed.I think Yates gets the nod for being a extra head in our defence from set pieces,For me he doesnt close down quick hence his bungled free kicks he gives away.We havnt got a midfield player except for domingez and MGW who can pass a ball without having 5 touches. Its kinda embarrassing to watch at times..The game I lost faith in Nuno. I normally give managers longer than most, but I just don't see it and I'm unsure if his dour character suits a relegation battle. Whether the owner or FFP has ground him down I'm unsure, but we're a shell of the first 2 games which were probably just a new manager bounce looking back at it.
Last season's Felipe is the best CB I have seen at the CG, however this summer's injury has meant that his legs have now gone and should not be picked due to being a liability.
Sangare and Yates at home does not work. Why do Nuno's midfielders never offer an option to the FB or winger? The ball always goes back to the CB. Was Nuno behind the Mangala sale as he didn't play him? There sure is a huge Belgium shaped hole in that midfield these days.
Elanga is our fastest most direct dangerous player, but who's touch can be questioned at this level. Instead of putting him in his most dangerous position, he played him in the most technical in the no.10
Why was there never anyone within a 20 yard radius of Chris Wood when the ball is fired into him with two defenders around him?
And I think Origi is getting the nod for similar reasons - offers a long ball out.
Yes and we sacked the wizard anyway
Do they still score lots from set pieces? That's the worry for me...
I know we all see things differently but.... which game were you watching yesterday?!
The referee was complicit in the timewastimg though - it was as much him chatting to players and not being in position as the opposition letting it tick. Took him well over a minute to whistle to restart play at a couple of points... and you can't restart play until he's done that. (and lol at the two minutes injury time first half - the ref himself wasted double that).
Agree that it wasn’t one of the better ones. In fact after the Larry Lloyd tribute it was all a flat ! Still feel like that today.
Duhhh, you need to get behind the team so that when it does well again the owner can hike up prices so that he can fund his son's attention seeking signings, as they then throw away anything which you've developed any connection to silly!
And owner.
He's got no brain.
The only thing we know is that Sangare & Yates don't work together.
While I wouldn't be against that if Fulham can still take a set piece I doubt we'll see it. I half expect us to line up the same.
Can't stand him but do you think Rat face at united would have stood for that?
