    Nuno’s New Narrative

    Find out more about the Stay Tuned campaign with CALM here: https://tilt.fyi/mOy6uJwuy0 Jack and Cal break down Nuno Espírito Santo's first game as West Ham Head Coach, Everton 1-1 West Ham in the Premier League. We discuss a potentially crucial point away from home at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, analysing the immediate tactical improvements in box defending and compactness, highlighting the excellent form of Crysencio Summerville and El Hadji Malick Diouf on the counter and what the match tells us about the rest of the season. Beyond the match, we talk the fundamental differences between Nuno's player-focused philosophy and the more rigid structures seen under Graham Potter and Julen Lopetegui, as well as how Nuno's approach of reducing the cognitive load and prioritising player instinct will shape the Hammers' performance going forward and build new foundations at the club.
