Nuno - twist or stick?
I think what @Fortuneseeker has to be looked at without any claret and blue glasses on...
With everything there it's very clear to see, with what is available to NES re squad available, he should be getting even more out of them.
@Lukerz made a point on more than one occasion that while the results have been 'decent' the majority of the performances haven't.....
I know of course this is a points business, but it does throw some weight IMO to the fact, there are most probably other managers out there that could get a better tune out of them.....
I mean playing Taty as a lone striker, WHY......
Not involving exiled players, WHY....
Not rewarding players who deserve a start ( Austobō ) WHY......
NES will continue to just plod along, he's had a long time to sort many issues out, but has still struggled, IMO. -
Nuno - twist or stick?
Neither Mukasa or Kanté have the experience/discipline to play as a CM in a two against the better sides, so it has to be Engels & Souček then one of those two ahead behind the striker. Or both on the bench.
Yet stubborn old NES doesn't seem to change it, this is what gets me with him, he seems to have his favourites, and if the face doesn't fit.....
Mads, I've said it since the start, he's bang average and offers zilch IMO to the line up, I'd much sooner see Areola....
He loves Kante, and he seems undroppable when fit, but hey, I'm just a fan and for now, I guess it has to be in NES we trust ( sort of ).......
I still think NES won't be around too long, I'm also not sure he's the best we can get even now ( again I'm not going to say who else, because that's not my decision, but there are surely some managers out there that would look at WHUFC and think, yeh, I'd love that job.....
After all , NES failed his first job by not keeping us up last season, IMO he had long enough to sort it out but failed....playing players out of position, consistently losing games from leading positions and some very odd substitutions.....But yet we remain with him.....
Let's give him till Xmas, top 3 is a must for me, anything less, he can go......IMO -
West Ham vs Southampton
Very disappointing. A game lost in the first 11 minutes by the now customary slow start. Our midfield is too porous and strikers don't look like scoring. Can't live on reputations, need to roll up sleeves for the 90 minutes -

West Ham vs Southampton
I know it was only the Carabao Cup, when teams tend to field a weakened side, but we beat them 4-1 back in August, so I’m hoping for more of the same in this encounter.
Saints made five changes to the squad that beat Stoke the weekend before we played but four of those came on in the 2nd half
Canadian CF Cyle Larin was on the bench back in August, now 2nd top scorer in the Championship with 7. On Saturday he was subbed before half time with a leg problem but no word how bad it was
Divin Mubuma started up front in the Carabao but he was left on the bench against Bolton with Lewis Dobbin preferred as Larin's reaplcement
Other regular starters on the bench in August were Irish AM/LW/RW Finn Azaz, 5 assists and 3 goals, LB Ryan Manning, Japanese CM/RW Kuryu Matsuki who got his first two caps during the international break and Flynn Downes
Downes is currently top of the Championship for tackles per game but was out at the weekend with an ankle injury, chances of him being available are "possible but ambitious". Academy graduate 21yo Cameron Bragg started on Saturday alongside is our old mate James Ward-Prowse who has started the last seven
Another addition since we played is CB Keven Schlotterbeck (£3m Augsburg) who has started nine in a row -
