Nuno Herlander Simões Espírito Santo

[valspoodle]

Agree with some of the points above, particularly the signings in the Summer must be quality over quantity this time. Nuno prefers a smaller squad, so get some decent players in. We haven't a lot of money to spend because we're still in this PSR bind, so pick sparingly and wisely.

 

[Bob Fossil]

Nuno will have us mid-table next season with minimal spend.

Opposite opinions are invited but will be instantly dismissed

 

[Statto]

If this were a movie i know exactly who would walk into the scene in the summer

Jose Mourinho

He's available, we're in the PL, the exact type of character and more importantly sparkly profile that the Big Man drools over and will fully complete our Breaking Bad arc

Crikey, could you imagine Jose with all the refereeing shit we've had? Doesn't anyone remember Anders Frisk...

 

[Shearstone]

He's shit and we were lucky in the first half not to be behind to that shite.

Keep us up and then thank you and goodbye.

 

[Ashley]

Still far from convinced he's a good fit for the club or the right man to take us forwards. If we stay up, it'll be largely down to how hopeless the bottom three are.

I still think we should make a change in the summer, personally.

 

[forestfan92]

The board need to be lining up replacements now

Sack him after the Burnley game

 

[MaxiRobriguez]

Think we should be looking elsewhere in summer.

 

[Robertson]

Yeah sure, why not rip it all up and start again. Constant turmoil is usually a recipe for success. May as well replace half the squad as well while we’re at it.

 

[Listen 'ere young man]

Glad for him today.

He must have aged about 5 years in the short period here. Give him a proper window without the Football Manager bollocks from others at the club and see where we are after 15 games next season.

I find it curious that lots of those who would normally want continuity don't want it with Nuno, despite coming in with a tough job, doing what's needed and having us looking very decent at times (and less so others admittedly).

I don't understand the call to rip it up - he clearly has the players onside.

We do that every season anyway

I just want Nuno to develop a style that the club plays and dictates play on our terms instead of constantly changing lineups and formations.

You don't want him to respond to the tactical set up of the opposition (as a still not established PL side)?

 

[BryanRoy22]

By some accounts, Nuno is able to communicate very easily with the squad because he's fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian and English. For this reason, he can switch between languages on the training pitch and meetings to integrate everyone at the same time.

I'd give him a pre-season to bring his own players in. He did extremely really well at Wolves and made them ultra competitive at the right end of the Premier League table, qualifying for Europe at the same time, so he's got form for managing a similar sized club. He's clearly therefore got the profile and history for exactly what Marinakis wants a Forest manager to achieve. Give him a fair crack at it and see how he goes next season.

No. I want them to have to react to us. F the other 19 bastards.

 

[GOBIAS]

Looking forward to seeing what he can do without all the PGMOL and points deduction drama going on next year.

[Mr. Blonde]

Personally I don't think Nuno has had a fair crack of the whip yet; he got off to a great start but then the PSR breach killed all of that and the team has been playing with all of that as a constant background ever since

I'd be interested to see what he can do with over the summer with a full preseason

 

[Gyros Peter]

I admire your optimism!

 

[Ashley]

I am usually one that advocates for sticking with the manager, but there are sometimes when a manager and a club aren't a good fit for each other and I think that's the case with Nuno.

Not a bad manager, but I don't think its going to work out if he stays.

Regardless of what we think, I reckon we'll have a new manager this summer anyway.

 

[isaacs]

He's a strange one, if you had asked me at any point over the past few years to name a manager who makes 3 at the back look good he would be in the immediate list of names that i could think of.

Rocks up here playing a formation he switched to in Saudi, rocks and rolls (rolled mostly) then switches to a 3 at the back where the team looked like they had been playing for years under him. Next game he flips back to the kamikaze 4-2-3-1 with no true sitters and nearly, actually very f***ing nearly cost us the game.

He's clearly a top manager but with an identity issue

 

[Gyros Peter]

Honestly, I think for some Nuno has not being Steve Cooper to than for the ambivalence. I think he's done well in a ridiculously tough time for the club to get the squad onside and fighting for him, especially so given the bond between the players and Coops.

I never expected champagne football though did expect tightening up at defensive throwaways (set pieces, cough) but overall I'm happy enough not to want to roll the dice yet again. And at times, particularly against the better sides, we've looked very good - good enough to want to build on. As ever with football YMMV.

Right, he changed from our usual shape to combat the 'best team in world football' and then reverted to the shape which us brought us points v the worst in the league. I'd find it stranger if we started in a three.

 

[Stocky Red]

Folk critical of him changing away from last weeks formation should remember it was Nuno who put in place that formation in the first place.

A formation that most fans and commentators thought got the better of Pep.

He's had a shite hand and needs to be given time

We change manager again and p*ss away another half a season with some new guy working out whats what

Missing the point about historically him being a preacher of the 3 at the back which by the way we recruited heavily for. When we reverted back to it today we immediately looked like we knew what we were doing despite it being 3-1. In that first half alone against a competent team we could have been 4 or 5 down and thats not exaggerating.

My point is that Nuno has had us playing some nice but tame football for months which is a far cry from his usual compact but explosive counter style that he had at Wolves.

It's simple enough for me.

We've got worse under Nuno, staying up (probably) because it's the worst bottom three in living memory.

We can't defend, our midfield was non existent first half and game could have been over if Sheffield United could put the ball in the back of the net.

We are a bunch of powderpuff fannies. Sheff Utd average height must have been about 5'9 but we made them look like giants.

I'm all for continuity but only when it makes sense. It didn't under Hughton, it doesn't under Nuno. We will go down next year if we don't change something fairly drastically.
