Love Nuno, but he was given money and bought the players he wanted. Gary inherited a decimated team and had to manage within a budget.
For all of Nuno’s qualities he never really found a plan B and if we went behind in games 9 out of 10 times we lost.
Danni all day(and night) longHard comparison for me as I’m still misty eyed for Nuno. He definitely had a better squad, I don’t think that’s in doubt. Tactically I think GON edges it. For all of Nuno’s qualities he never really found a plan B and if we went behind in games 9 out of 10 times we lost. GON has managed to get real attacking intent into us while being relatively good defensively (nowhere near as good as we were under Nuno).
Man management is hard choice. Nuno had that aura about him and real charisma but GON has got the squad together and fighting for the cause.
This is like saying Kylie or Danni Minogue, both please!!
Just enjoy Gary no need for comparison
I know Gary has also done a job on Pep this season brilliantly, but the job Nuno did on him at the City ground was one of the best I've ever seen. Putting Traore at wingback was inspired. He ate prime Sterling for breakfast, and decisively exploded up the pitch with Raul, right at the time when City were throwing the kitchen sink and all the plumbing at us. We should've beaten them there in the promotion year League Cup as well; Enobakhare missed three one-on-ones!Don't let how Nuno's reign ended cloud what we actually saw in those first three seasons. Some of the best football we've ever seen. We were absolutely electric at times. And frankly Nuno was a tactical genius for long periods, particularly in games against 'better' opposition and how we moved as a unit off the ball and countered to perfection.
You sure about that when going behind under Nuno, we lost 9 times out of 10? You're confusing him with LageHard comparison for me as I’m still misty eyed for Nuno.
