Don't get me wrong. I'm fully behind Nuno. He needs some time. But the fact that he has Dele playing the 8, Dier as the captain, and seems to rate Lucas as something more than a rotational option is a big red flag for me.
Yeah but look at the options he has, who would you say should be playing instead. The fact we havent brought players in i doubt has anything to do with nuno

Stevie just doesn't seem good enough, hopefully Ajax put a decent bid in for him. Skipp doesn't seem ready for this kind of level of competition yet, likewise tanganga. Think we've been talking up some players purely because they came through the academy.

To be honest I don't think it's a coincidence that Bergwijn, Hojberg and Reguillon all looked much, much better in their first month or so than they did once they'd been subjected to Mourinho "coaching"

Even with Romero, Gil and Kane we need 5 or 6 new players. Without Kane the mind boggles just how fucked we are. We have a very difficult start and it wouldn't surprise me at all if we were in and around the relegation spots. Not only are the players not good enough, there's also zero synergy between them.

2-1? Fuck me, going by some of the reactions in here I thought it was 3 or 4 nil. Chill out folks.
It should be tbh. Our goal was a huge deflection, and they had one ruled off for a blatantly incorrect offside. Their reserves are currently running rings around us.

I'm finally dele out... I think. Rate him kinda, but he just seems like a waste of a spot

Must say, the prospect of Chelsea with Lukaku up front is really really frightening.

A big issue we have had for two seasons is defenders just booting the ball up the pitch and conceding possession need to fix this just unacceptable at his level

This is the thing.

Elsewhere they all looked incredibly lively and had big roles. They are now suffering because they've lost confidence, rhythm and haven't been used to their strengths. They now need to build up that confidence again.
