He never had a burst of pace before, but he was quick enough to run in behind. Not now, finished

I agree but if someone gets injured on say, the 54th minute, everyone would have a meltdown and say NES is stupid and etc.
I agree on the bravery point though! we need a manager who is braver, that's for sure but they need to be smart too.
starting with 3 CDM's, all of which are very similar players and Winks over Gil has proven a lot of us right - that starting that midfield was a bad decision.
Not impressed by Nuno so far barring the City game and development of Lucas, Sanchez and Dier.
The Wolves game could have easily been 3-0 Wolves like today...
that at least would have been an attempt. Even if it didn’t work or he was off, it’s not like it was going to make us worse.
I think one of the biggest criticisms of Nuno by Wolves supporters was his lack of changes when the game needed it. We are already seeing that in action.
There are lots of managers who play 10 man situations that way, the idea being keeping the door locked, even at 1-0 down, offers the best chance to nick something from the game.
There's an argument for it.

Always think if someone wants to go. You let them go.
He's world class you ungrateful so and so. Who's gonna cover all them yards up top in his place? Plus we would have jsut wasted the money so why bother. Leave the daring to other folks!
If you think of going, you're gone
Hear! Hear!
Spot on. I wanted him sold after seeing his first 100 goals thing on Sky in the summer. The stats and goals from last season have masked a pretty alarming drop off in pace and mobility. He also misses a lot more decent chances these days as well. Not his fault today but think its going to be a lot more noticsable this season that he isnt the player he was from 2015 to 2018. Still probably get 20+ goals though.
Did Kane look like he wanted to be out there today?
And when we went 2-0 down?
And Scott Parker leads us to champions league glory next season with a net spend of a packet of chewing gum. A mangement tram of Klopp Pepp and Sir Alex wouldnt be able to succeed under Enic to dare is too dear.
Have to say though that ref today was a homer. Influenced by their two bob ultras.
I think the issue is (and this is on Nuno to a large degree), it’s not just we were missing Son. It’s that between that and probably missing Stevie B, We completely changed the team (and even mindset).
if we lined up with Gil instead of Son and kept dele in the midfield maybe we have a different identity. I’m not blaming Winks specifically here, just that playing what amounts to 3 holding midfielders gave them courage on the ball and seemed to make us play more complacent than I saw in the previous 3 games.
Son is super important, but the reality is him being out shouldn’t throw off our entire lineup and tactics like it did. Blame midfield depth or Nuno for not starting Gil, but it blew the team up.
Possibly (succeed) but not many people could put up a worse managerial performance than today
Cancer….get a grip
Disgraceful? For what reason. It was already made obvious he wanted to leave last season. Do you blame him with the shit show he has to be part of? He is the best striker at the club so he plays. Exactly what damage is being caused? No striker today would have had a shot. No service at all
