← Talk West Ham

What are your thoughts on Nuno? How confident are you that he's the man to lead West Ham back up? 🤔

He continues to split opinion...

terrynorwood249461w ago

Who wants a a manager who spends 90 minutes sitting on his arse looking totally disinterested and chewing gum !

ianrow31w ago

I wonder if the board understand the manager, the players and fans certainly don't.

alan.mayo511w ago

Forget about two matches from the sack. He has to go now. We can't afford any further delay. The team are getting worse and appear to lack direction and motivation.

arthursapsed11w ago

The man should have been sacked end last season. The club is going backwards wont be going up with him im charge

terrynorwood249461w ago

Sack him now before he drags us into another relegation battle. Someone give Craig Bellamy a ring !!

ray.baxterct19512w ago

Players know their personal attributes, I bet most of them can tell how the team can be improved.Nuno might get some ideas if he listened to them. By the way GIVE AJALA SOME GAME TIME! (not 5 mins)

ray.baxterct19512w ago

How can we have confidence in anything to do with West Ham? When all we see in most article headlines are continuous negative words used like -failing-admission-concern-nonsense-problem-struggles-scare-awkward-pipe dream etc. Nuno needs to talk to his players.

suede1162w ago

If we had Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood, Nuno would produce similar results to his time at Forest. Don't forget, the lack of a striker and holding midfielder has plagued us for years—changing managers won't magically fix that. Stop blaming everything on Nuno. You can't play the attacking football fans want when the squad quality just isn't there.

roywag422w ago

He's a s##t manager

roywag422w ago

He's a shit manager

cumberworth572w ago

I think you can only play 2 from Engels, Mukasa and Kante which is a shame cos they’re all good but none of them hold, they all bomb forward

cumberworth572w ago

He’s technically inept and for a supposedly experienced football man cannot see what most fans see which is we are so vulnerable through our CM when we have excellent options in that area who he will not pick cos he has fallen out with them, it’s the managers job to manage the personalities within the squad!

dantowen819512w ago

Yeah, I like Engels and Mukasa as a partnership but surely you have to do something about the massive gaps between defence and midfield! Where is Magassa?

gahorsnell2w ago

After Southampton, Nuno said: "We didn't start the way we wanted". My question to him is "WHY NOT?" It's happened match after match lately!

chillout2w ago

But this has often been the case this season - when is Nuno himself going to take responsibility for this and do something about it ?!

dantowen819512w ago

8 times we’ve fallen behind in a game this season! And I think we’ve conceded 5 goals in the first 20 minutes!

kyle.dimond2w ago

I think he’ll get the job done at the end of the day and that’ll be a big boost for the club. Don’t think it’ll work out long term but getting rid comes with its own big risks

nickdomjan2w ago

There are other considerations, can Nuno attract the level of players we want or would McKenna for example have more gravitas, The value of our exiled players is reducing by their exclusion, so I see that it isn't just on the pitch where we are suffering. I can see the blame culture developing which nobody wants

dantowen819512w ago

McKenna is a great pick, he plays proper detailed, attacking football too. We still feel very off-the-cuff

caleb.sage2w ago

He can get West Ham up, no doubt. But long-term, need to head in another direction. His football should be illegal to watch.

peelo1182w ago

We should not be asking if he can get us promoted. We should be asking if he can lead us longer term. I don't think he could lead us in the Premier League, I think he is struggling and needs Paco back as assistant manager

tom.procter2w ago

I still think he’s the right man. A point off the autos after 12 games in a very tough Championship and being top scorers isn’t bad going

markmarston2w ago

Exactly… I think it’s an unfair expectancy to come down from the Prem and just walk the league. Doesn’t work like that and as a Leicester fan, I know it first hand. Be careful what you wish for springs to mind when I see Nuno out. Not saying he’s unbelievable but he’ll get you up and that can’t be underestimated at all

jonny2w ago

I do think he’s maybe struggling to get some of the players up for it considering they’re premier league players… but should be enough to get promoted and sticking by him will pay off

markmarston2w ago

Absolutely right Jonny

charlesjones2w ago

I’m sure he’ll get West Ham up. Just keep the faith

markmarston2w ago

He will… but it feels like that’s not good enough. Some fans want it done in style on 110 points. West Han will lose football games this season, it’s normal in such a competitive league. Think the Nuno out stuff is mental. Be careful what you wish for… maybe I’ll be proven wrong tho

alan.mayo512w ago

He has to go. The continual slow starts are either due to his tactics or his inability to motivate the players. Either way it's his responsibility. One consolation from the defeat is that JW-P got some revenge on Nuno for the appalling way he was treated, both at West Ham and Nottm Forest.

chillout2w ago

Ain’t gonna happen, though. Only a truly awful run will see him gone. My fear is that we carry on like we have done all season so far - and then we miss out on promotion at the death. I can see it in the cards. He should have been axed at the end of last season.

dantowen819512w ago

JWP enjoyed it as well… just glad he didn’t score and make the day even more frustrating!

jonathan.gorrie2w ago

Not a natural fit for the club so a crisis around every corner. Unsustainable long-term, just go to hope it works for the rest of the season. Reasonably confident he can do it

freddie2w ago

No one is tho! Look how the fans treated Moyes…

will.butcher2w ago

Getting it done, he knows that to win promotion you come good post Jan

antonymmartin842w ago

Not confident at all. He’s a terrible fit for us. Football is dire, we just rely on moments of individual brilliance. Sooner he’s gone the better

jordan.harris2w ago

My worry is more about what happens when they get promoted. But Nuno should still be fine to get this team up

harveyleonard992w ago

He’ll get them up but he’s not the one to carry them back to where they once were. Maybe better to find that person now rather than waiting for another inevitable prem failure to get rid?

hfhgvmstws2w ago

Nuno has done ok so far, and tries Taty up front on Saturday. Clearly was not working at half time , but still kept him on until the end . His tactical formation was also way out, as Southampton ploughed through the midfield in the first 20 mins until he dropped Mubarak deeper. Next game is crucial. Does he learn or plough on with the same…..!

chillout2w ago

He has done enough - just. But he is just 2 bad results from the chop. Feels inevitable to me.

markmarston2w ago

West Ham will go up under Nuno… no need to question his job after every defeat? Unless it’s a consistent theme - which it isn’t.

majthorney252w ago

He will never be any good as long as he has a hole in his arse couldn’t pick his nose

freddie2w ago

He’s doing fine I think, nothing special but should be enough to get back to the Prem

antonymmartin842w ago

Completely disagree mate. He’s a terrible fit for us and needs to go asap. I predicted we’ll finish around 5-6th before the season and I sat and by that. Football is dire

markmarston2w ago

Spot on
