By all reports he fell out with Edu, the groupâs Global Head of Football (big title I know) and it got to the point where one had to go and unfortunately it was Nuno, which was a real shame after the season before. He was critical of the summer transfer business, or at least the timing of it, as well so his exit was inevitable.
Initially, he did yes but the whole thing just unravelled so quickly and the last couple of games he was a bit more defensive.
Overall, it was a disastrous appointment though. He came in and looked totally drained by the Spurs sacking. He needed to take a much longer break by his own admission. His football is so intricate that you canât appoint him mid-season.
Thereâs a lot of debate about him, but I would say his downfall was terrible football and terrible performances in some games (Everton home and away, Braga home, Leeds away, Villa away to name a few) and interviews which really wound people up.
Heâs good at deflecting blame. He did get points though, whatever people say.
Got the players enjoying their football and the fans enjoying watching their team primarily.
Heâs been a real unifying force as well. Tactically, heâs made good subs and always looks to change games positively.
Weâre certainly in our best form of the season, although itâs been a bad season.
Weâre on a good run and some players have really found form like Gibbs-White. We do have injuries though to Murillo and Callum Hudson-Odoi, so while weâre better, weâre not the team we were last season.
Weâve actually had good results after European games. One reason though is that weâve rotated a lot in Europe and not really been able to attack it fully, so itâs really good weâve got this far to be fair.
For sure, thereâs three that stand out. Elliot Anderson dominates the stats in so many midfield metrics, not just in the Premier League but in Europe. Morgan Gibbs-White has 12 league goals and has been excellent since Dyche left. The other one would be Neco Williams, as heâs incredibly consistent.
Most likely 4-2-3-1, but one of the wingers will be Gibbs-White or Dominguez, if not both, so we have every presence in the middle of the pitch.
I donât think weâll be too attacking in the first half. Weâre very patient on the ball. Too patient really, especially in the attacking third, but weâve been good of late.
