What about before last season? He did lose his very good striker with a cracked skull for a lot of the season, imagine where we would have ended up without Kane last season had he been out for two thirds of it

Agree not sure where this narrative of Wolves playing terrible football has come from? I seem to remember everyone jizzing over them in their first couple of PL seasons, similar to how they are now with Leeds.Is it really that bad? Not watched a lot of Wolves but whenever I've seen them I didn't think they were too defensive or negative.
As I understand it he was very defensive at Porto, but went more attacking at Valencia. Wolves absolutely destroyed the championship under him.
I know last season and as badly effected with injuries, but prior to that was he really so bad?
I should say it's not like I'm all in favour, underwhelmed really, but I'm also not understanding the strength of feeling against him.
Obviously there's more than a fair chance it's bollocks anyway
I'm not particularly fussed at this point because we have missed out on the two that I'd consider top managers (Poch and Conte) and everyone else basically falls into the 'meh' category to varying degress. Bored of hearing about it now get any fucker in.
There were times when they played spurs in the past, that I thought they were extremely fun to watch. I didn’t watch them very much this season so maybe things changed
Before last season they played the same shitty style.
The got big results for a promoted team because Mendes brought them in players like Mountiho, Neves, Rui Patricio that would have never gone there without his ties.
Now that they have maxed out on the quality clients they can bring in and some managing has to be done we can see them fall off again. Once the talent started evening out Nuno had no answer to compete.
I think under Jose if Kane went out we would have been in big trouble because, like Nuno, he had shown he had no plan to attack with out individual talents there to create on their own.

You know things are bad when Gattuso describes you as a "mess"...

Gennaro Gattuso has told Lorenzo Insigne that “there was a bit of a mess” when he held talks with Tottenham over the vacant position in north London.
Insigne worked under Gattuso at Napoli and remains in close contact with his former manager, despite being on international duty with Italy at Euro 2020.

He finished 7th in consecutive seasons with a newly promoted side.
Last season he's operating with a small squad off the back of a Europa run, and missing his three biggest goal threats from the previous two seasons (Jiminez, Doherty, Jota)
He'd be an underwhelming hire but let's not twist narratives here, the guy is plenty capable of running a successful PL side.
I don't believe anything anymore, unless it comes directly from Hercules.
Apparently it was all part of a plan
We have to make #NoToNuno trending topic.
NotoGattuso trended because of his sexist and homophobic remarks, pathetic if NotoNuno trends
Seventh is probably good enough for Levy.
Someone start digging into his Twitter timeline asap
Let's say the realistic candidates as of now are.....
1 Ten Hag
2 Potter
3 Nuno
4 Martinez
5 Valverde
- Graham Potter - 9/4
- Steven Gerrard - 3/1
- Nuno Espirito Santo - 4/1
- Roberto Martinez - 6/1
- Erik ten Hag - 7/1
- Ernesto Valverde - 10/1
- Jurgen Klinsmann - 14/1

2 Potter
3 Nuno

The question of "defensive" versus "attacking" kind of elides the question of whether you're playing with timidity and fear or not.
We were playing with absolute cowardice by the end with Jose. That's not what I've seen from Nuno. His teams are there to punch you in the face.
He's nowhere near as successful or tactically adept, so I hesitate to even make the comparison, but it's a similar attitude and personality to Conte's teams, who I also always find to be a good watch even if they aren't pretty and elegant in the Wengerian sense.
Man fuck Gattuso. I dont give a rats ass what he saysSorry if already posted.

Agree. When Poch was fired I thought Nuno would have been a good replacement.
Yeah. The story of Poch's decline here was the story of us losing that "coming to fucking kill you" attitude as a team.
