  I didn't see the first half, were the weather conditions the same as the second half because to me it had a major effect on trying to play football.
  

  It was raining heavier in the second half and, with that wind, it made it more difficult. playing into it imo.

  Nuno is managing like a Brazilian player, moments of brilliance but attempted flair that can fall flat on it's face and make you look silly when it doesn't come off.
  
  Most of us said after our first few games that things looked really bleak because the players were far below what we needed and no one could turn this lot into a team. Nuno did just that however, he got them playing in a way that beat Newcastle, Burnley and take a 0-2 lead against Bournemouth. Players like Fernandes and even Tobido began to look like assets (of sorts).However.... his moments of eccentric managerial behaviour have fallen flat on their face.
  
  He walks in assesses the state of things and says ' I know what this needs' I'm going to take the rookie, barely blooded left back Scarles and stick him on the right. Then I am putting the midfield general Irving straight into the side to try and get us up the pitch quicker as that silly Potters love affair with JWP was doomed to failure, leave it to me. Loses us two potential six pointers.
  
  Then when he sorts things out he gets all eccentric again yesterday, says lets take off the two goal, hungry for a hat-trick, striker and our forward facing Midfielder to remove pressure on B'Mouth to defend in any noticeable way and see if our leaky defence can withstand 45 minutes of constant pressure.
  
  We need him to start managing without the wacky ideas, hit through the ball rather than trying a managerial Rabona where you look like a genius.

  Interestingly (to me) I think 10 players who finished v Bournemouth also finished v Newcastle. The big difference Fullkrug (waste of a shirt) instead of Paqueta (7 votes for MOTM)
