Which can all be overcome by making an effort. I don't just mean phoning some one up more often.Managers aren't queuing up to work with Levy and a strange squad with only a few quality players + one built by multiple managers that doesn't really fit any particular style. It's a tough job. Managers out of work might take it, but those in comfortable jobs or thriving might be hard to convince.
And let's face it, we're not going to make that effort because it would require committing transfer funds + power to a new manager.
This isn't good.
Now an unnamed source has told The Athletic: “Nobody is quite sure what is what. It’s unclear how we’re playing. There are no patterns of play.”
I agree, Nick.I voted yes thinking that I would have calmed down and changed my mind by now, but I haven't. If my phone pinged now and told me he's been sacked I would be pretty happy with that.
wonder if that's because we don't have eriksen now, folks are making runs but the players don't see themThat's likely got as much to do with the players being dim as it is Nuno being innept.
It always strikes me how we don't ever look like a clever team anymore. In the pomp of Poch we did, but we just seem so basic nowadays.
Shit, are you a politician? A beard isn't a body. He asked about the body and I asked about if I would get to fuck her. You answered something completely different. Strap ons and beard that's just minor distractions.
One of Wolves players (Marcal) had this to say on their new manager and the difference between him and Nuno. “Bruno came to the club with a very different work approach to the previous manager. With Bruno, I think he knows how he wants the team to play, and he can pass that on quite clearly to us during training." This latest story is consistent with that.This isn't good.
Also I don't like that it's been leaked but one problem at a time.

Nuno Santo described as 'uncommunicative to point of being distant'
Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has taken another kicking from inside the dressing room. Apparently there are "no patterns of play".www.football365.com
Nuno described as ‘uncommunicative to point of being distant’
In the latest story leaked from inside the training ground, Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo is described as ‘uncommunicative to the point of being distant’ without any real ‘patterns of play’.
After similar character assassinations in the tabloids, The Athletic provide a view from inside the club that does not paint Santo in a flattering light.
‘Nuno is an intelligent and thoughtful man, but he is not exactly loquacious, as he sometimes shows in his curt responses in press conferences.
‘But Nuno is not especially chatty with his players either, certainly compared to his more charismatic, outgoing predecessors. There is no small talk with players, and no real dialogue away from the training pitch.’
You might wonder why footballers need ‘small talk’ but this is clearly a problem when you follow Mauricio Pochettino and Jose Mourinho, who both had big personalities.
It is said that Santo ‘is uncommunicative to the point of being distant’, which might well translate to an issue with giving tactical instructions.
Certainly, their performance in the 3-1 defeat to Woolwich suggested that the players had no idea of their instructions.
The Tottenham boss said cryptically after the game: “I won’t name individuals who didn’t play the game plan right, but the game plan was not right according to the players who were on the pitch.”
Now an unnamed source has told The Athletic: “Nobody is quite sure what is what. It’s unclear how we’re playing. There are no patterns of play.”
This is the tip of the iceberg stuff.This isn't good.

Yes I think he was surprised at how badly the public dismissal of Martin was received, and has been patiently waiting to do it again.
I wouldn't rule out Nuno Espirito Santini doing the honours before Levy gets the chance.
wonder if that's because we don't have eriksen now, folks are making runs but the players don't see them
Eriksen just knew where to put the ball
because the players other than Kane & maybe Tanguy can't see the pass that is why they take 2 or 3 touches of the ball and look , look and look again before they try to pass the ballDoesn't explain how often they have no idea what to do when they have the ball and usually end up giving it away.
