“I will not give you clues, but football is gonna change,” Like Bob Dylan, Nuno’s convinced that the times they are a changing. Watching today’s game, you can see why. In the first half, newly promoted Sheffield United played with the assurance and verve you’d expect from one of England’s established top six. Lys Mousset, […]
Wolves 1 Slovan Bratislava 0
We should have won at a canter. That performance was arguably one of the most dominant we’ve served up under Nuno’s tutelage.
