no they ain’t but nor is playing defensive football and winning games mutually exclusive. Playing negative football (Jose) for a whole season is only worthwhile if you win trophies or if you are a really shit team and it’s the only way to stay in the league.
The whole point of going to games is to be entertained and that is our ‘’DNA’’ or at least was. Any manager can get away with coming 7-8th with us if they play a good style and build for the future. That is Nuno’s challenge to play a good style of football, we know we ain’t winning Jack shit either way but to enjoy our football and to build for the future is the requirement.
That just shows how he simple can’t take the game and attack the opposition teams. Sit back and counter in the second half. Classic. I truly can’t stand this guy and his football. For some reason almost no one in Portugal, his country, rates the guy.
Well, that's reassuring.
We barely get discussed on football podcasts these days, and a lot of that is down to him.
Got to be honest, alarm bells are ringing. Not normally all that bothered about stats, but this one and the ones where we're bottom of chances created and top of most shots against in the prem this season aren't exaxtly reassuring.
Totally agree. Have to get behind him but have to wonder if the club even properly vetted him.
The guy is the epitome of boring football. Porto was founded in 1893 and this guy managing the team in 2016/2017 holds the record for most minutes WITHOUT A GOAL! And he had guys like Andre silva, diogo jota, brahimi, corona, Otávio etc
For us its been 2 out of 4 games where we haent scored in the 1st half. And in one of the games winks was playing. So really 2 out of 3 games. Im trying to be optimistic!
It's a shame we have to rely on playing certain clubs to hope for a win.
Once upon a time we feared no one.
They were this bad last year under Nuno.
So many Tottenham fans rushed to put a positive spin on the appointment, but I don't think anyone in the media (and they don't all talk shit all of the time) bought it. We are just seen as irrelevant now. That's why they don't talk about us.
Thanks for that insight - my lack of footballing knowledge really showed me up there didn't it.
It was merely an example of how hypocritical people like you sound - it was fictional not reality as I did indicate. You want to play really exciting football, don't care about the results but want to win silverware.
To quote a football expert far more knowledgable than me ......."it's not the 1990's serie A. WILL NOT HAPPEN"
Well not on Levy who apparently did not want him but was talked round by Paratici
Right, so in this unicorn of a season where we fluke the league with turgid football, what happens the following season where our lucky leprecauns all die of syphilis?

The appointnent and the whole managerial search is on Levy imo. He had ample opportunity early summer to appoint Potter or ten Hag or someone else in keeping with his DNA statement and failed. We appointed Nuno when we were seemingly out of options and only a week before pre season started. That last minute desperation leads you to make panic decisions which we've seen in many a transfer window over the years.
What have you been doing to the Leprechauns?! We want answers!!!!
I see a lot of OGS criticism here. Let's not forget that even if you have a strong squad and spending power, it won’t be a cohesive team unless the manager pulls it all together as he seems to be doing. They're very strong title contenders which we aren't at the moment. They are playing excellent football which we aren't. I'm damn sure he would be doing more than Beardo is.
