Just said the same mate, its like ultimate micromanagement, surely Nuno won't like that at all.

That being said I do love Paratici's passion and how involved he is but for me it undermines the coach a bit.
Nuno will be very used to it as it's pretty much standard in Portugal.

Clear as day what we need.

Dele is not good enough defensively, or passing (long and short) or transitions and he is not a ball carrier. He may run a marathon every game but he is not good enough to play cm in a premiership side.

Lucas is a one in ten (games) player, he is nowhere near consistent enough to have a starting place.

Stevie is someone I would persevere with but still could be improved upon.

Two wingers and a creative box to box midfielder (maybe lo Celso) is what's needed. Hopefully Gill, sessegnon, lo Celso and Kane are warming up. (3 of those four need to come on). But with skipp and tanganga on yellows, its a risk.

We asked for one fucking thing. Just one single solitary simple to accomplish task. Most of us were realistic about challenging for top 4 or winning any trophies this season. We knew a rebuild was going to take a few seasons and that was not going to happen this year.

Just don't hire Mourinho light. That's it. No more ultra defensive football. We wanted to be entertained if we were going to be shit. And that midget bald bastard couldn't even manage that. He had to lie then gaslight the fan base. Joke.

It's like people dont expect Wolves to be bang up for this and have us under kosh for long spells in their first home game with fans in Gods knows how long...

Jesus...
Don't think its that at all mate more the fact that we can't seem to string two passes together.

They looked very impressive in their 1st game vs Leicester as well tbh, create loads of chances and were the better side.

Of course they were always going to be bang up for it today but its our lack of possession and chances created which people are moaning about.

I'm ok with it so far, its so so early days with Nuno and I think and hope we will still make 3 signings, possibly 4-5 if Kane goes and 3 + Kane coming back into the team if he stays so we would look quite a different team if that is the case.

I think Romero in for Sanchez or Dier will shore us up more at the back, Kane and/or a new ST and winger would help improve our attack but mainly we need someone in CM who can control the game and create a bit more, like Neves is doing for them. Lo Celso could be that guy but I'd like to think we will bring in at least 1 top CM especially if we move on 2/3 of Ndombele, Sissoko and Winks.

I think we will actually win this 2-0 as Wolves will leave more spaces the way they are playing right now.

Till we start pressing from the front in games, we just going to have to suck up this style of football. Not a fan.

Ok, we have contained Wolves quite well so far. 2nd half we need to be more offensive, somehow!

Kane anyone?

Granted, it's not been a good half. However, people losing their sh** over Nuno already is madness. It's his third game and his second in the Prem. Whatever style he wants to implement will take longer than this.

Another good wake up call following on from Thursday that the squad isn't as good as the man city result would make them believe.

We'd beat city at our home ground with mason in charge, they're cursed against us

Are you just going to ignore the fact that the Kane situation is not yet resolved, and so we dont know what striker we will be going through the season with, and that our new signings arent even playing.

I mean, sure if we ignore that and the fact that the window is still open then yes, doesnt look brilliant. But until the window closes and we know what squad we are dealing with it is pretty much a pointless discussion.
Good points. I mean here we are 2nd game into the season having already beaten City mind you. Were one up against Wolves away. They've had a ton of possession and fuck all else. We aren't going to dominate every game we play this season.

We have the best striker in the world on the bench. I do not love him anymore,but all I care about is Spurs winning the game.

Not really bothered why ppl are bothered Fab and Hitchin sat on bench. It's not the reason we are playing toilet is it. For me, it's we are ALL in it together! So long as Levy don't join em I'm happy with it ?

i like stevie and hope he continues to progress but would like to see him off at 60. Harry is the obvious choice but would also like to see more control in midfield.

I still think the midfield balance is a bit odd. Skipp and Hojberg would probably be more comfortable in a double pivot but they're set up in almost a flat three with Alli then occasionally charging upfield.

If Kane was on the pitch he'd drop into that space where the no.10 role is and it would suddenly look a whole lot better.

If you look at Lee Hendrie's tweet before the match it's obvious his son is a Wolves fan, which explains the biased commentary.
