I actually felt bad for him when the camera zoomed on his face after Rashford scored, he seems like a nice guy. But he’s not a good manager, in fact he’s the worst manager we’ve had since I’ve been a supporter. How he even got the job in the first place is baffling but Levy & Paratici just needs to admit they were horribly wrong and sack him tonight
Would take Christian Gross after this debacle. At least he reached his objective and saved us from the drop.
There was a point tonight where I realised I didn’t want us to score as it would mess with my FF team. It’s alarming that spurs have fallen down my football pecking order.

I won’t pretend that I am apathetic about the shot show going on with the club(I keep coming here for a start) but I am very angry.

Really not sure why he's assumed by so many he's a nice guy TBH. He seemed nothing nice to me IMO. Son is a nice guy.

As we all know it's certainly not all Nuno's fault and we definitely have issues within the squad, 100%, but even with that in mind I still think he's massively underachieving. When you have the players that we have at your disposal but you're still really really struggling to have them get a shot on target, things really aren't right.

I’m not going to go over the top with hyperbole but that game just felt like the end of this Nuno experiment.

The booing of the subs, the booing at half time, the booing at Rashfords goal and the booing at full time were all louder than anything I’ve heard for a long time. It wasn’t even like this throughout Jose’s reign.

Levy has to do the sensible thing and relieve him of his duties, the fans are the beating heart of this club and it was made clear and simple what we think of the current situation.

Yes it's Nuno. He's clueless

Levy is at fault for everything he's done since the sacking of Pochettino, but he is not the coach.
I'm talking about the overall feeling and the fact people will turn their anger towards Nuno.

It runs deeper and the anger should be directed to those at the top who have merrily led the team to this point.

Also, Nuno is Levy's responsibility. Just like Jose, except this time he had the foresight to reject a defensive coach and go with a braver coach.

Buy he fucked that up to.

So yes, it's not about Nuno.

Levy has shot himself in the foot here.

He built a stadium with world class acoustics yet it's only made the boos more evident haha

No passion, no spirit, no intensity, no commitment ..... team mirrors its manager. Nuno looks like someone who won a prize to be manager for a day....standing motionless & clueless on the sideline. Get this clown out of our club now! Embarrassing.

He’s gone tomorrow after that. Anyone who was in that ground knows it. That’s the worst vitriol I’ve ever seen.

I wish. But I still believe he'll be here for quite some time.

Sacking him now is pretty Levy and our new fancy italian director saying "Ey, we f*cked up massively". And well, I don't believe they are ready to admit that.

If we sack Nuno now will he have been in charge for less time than it took for us to appoint him?

I'm not even upset with Nuno clearly out of his depth. LEVY has made so many poor decisions we are nothing... The only thing we've become is the stadium and we lose there regularly.
