FORMER Manager Watch: Nuno Espírito Santo

[PLTuck]

Blindingly obvious to anyone watching the game with half a clue about football, so why wasn’t it changed up during the half, why do so called senior players just carry on with a game plan so flawed it needed to be thrown out quickly. Where was the quick chat on the side, this shit ain’t working let’s change it up. Poor management from Nuno and pretty passive from our senior players.

There were sideline discussions.

Do you want players to follow managers instructions or do you want them to do as they please (in which case why have a manager at all)? You can't have it both ways.

If you think you can lay out a game plan that is scripted for 90 minutes and the players cannot react during the game then good luck to you.

 

[PLTuck]

Absolutely. He’s a much better footballer. Nothing to really do with the game yesterday.

Based on what? I still have no idea what GLCs best position is in a spurs team as we never get to see him in a decent run of games.

Nice strawman.

Cya.

Looking at Carragher’s analysis there, it sort of solves the mystery of where the fuck our midfield were. Glad someone located them.

I also find it hard to be overly critical of Hojbjerg after that.

The guy was basically left to marshal the entire midfield on his own, as Dele and Ndombele had fucked off 25 yard upfield and behind him were two utterly inept cackers in Dier and Sanchez.

How are Sanchez and Dier inept exactly, did you not watch the game?

That’s a very good point. For example, during our game last week v Chelsea:
when we were all over them at one point in the first half, Tuchel was having a serious conversation with Azpilicueta, both trying to work out how to change things and get out of the hole we were putting them in. Nothing like that from our players or boss, it’s like we just accept the battering and give up rather than fight or work it out.

There were touchline discussions with Nuno and Reg, and Nuno and PEH that I can remember.

That nothing changed until HT one can only presume Nuno told them to carry on as they were.

erm yes we did and can conclude they are in fact, inept.

 

[Timbar]

Any ITK from the boys on where the club sit with this one? Fair and well to say Nuno out but who’s going to take this poisonous job 6 games in? Look at those players walking back while they get torn apart? No one seems to get them to have any desire to play. We literally need to clear out 7 or 8 players and somehow find ones willing to play for this club at 100% week in and week out? The football side of this club is rotten from top to bottom.

Not sure Levy deserves to appoint another manager. We really need to get him out somehow. Yeah the stadium is amazing but he has been a disaster running the football side of it. The one quality manager we had who got what Spurs are he fucked over and we lost him.

it seems like Nuno has never rated midfielders, this is shocking

Problem is this one seems to be the first one he trusted someone else to do hire. If anything this will justify taking the reigns back.

Ramos was technically a Comolli hire.

When I saw him telling Dier to kick the ball long instead after a tiny bit of pressure 10 or so mins into the game I was done.

Payday is on the 30th for me. So ill take one for us fans and put a bid in but it may need to wait till after the Villa game.

 

[InOffMeLeftShin]

I don’t want Nuno but I definitely don't want Mason either. I would seriously give it to 'Harry'. This is where I am as a fan which in itself is pretty depressing.

Play players in the right positions and in a formation that suits suits squad. Motivate them and encourage the players. Get them working as a team. Get them to actually want to compete.





Bring in Crouchy, Defoe and Krancjar.....

Geez, I thought you were advocating for Kane as player-manager then.

Well, fuck.

 

[Aphex]

That Carragher analysis was unreal. That was the worst tactical set up I have ever seen from a Spurs side.

Alli and Ndombele's positioning was just unbelievable. We had no midfield at all.

Watching Ndombele's body language aswell, he so blatantly doesn't want to be here and is really putting in half arsed effort, he isn't the only one but I can't stand his body language I really can't, he is everything wrong about Spurs right now, alot of talent but no application and the compeltely wrong attitude.

We need a huge clear out and I really include GLC and Ndombele in that, we need to rip it up and start again. It will take years.
