An Away Move

We need to chill. This is a gruelling league and because we’ve had a record breaking start the last few performances have felt extra disappointing I think. All the games we lost and drew we had the chances to win the games. I feel the problem is our attack. Iheanacho and Vardy are not incisive enough due to, I don’t know what with Nacho and age with Vardy. I think Tom Canon will come good and Alves and Braybrooke will be like two new excellent signings. All will offer better penetration in the final third. As for the style of football we need to learn to read the game and appreciate this is different to what we are used to. It is effective and impressive by any metric. We’ve dominated pretty much every match and had chances to win them all. For me it is frankly ridiculous how hysterically negative some fans are getting. Get behind Enzo! He’s delivering. You’d have all taken the position we are now at the beginning of the season. You’d have bit the arm off for it actually.

On that basis it is so far so good. You’d have settled for where we are now at the beginning of the season, no?

I totally agree with your point about the tempo.

Was it really though? Or more a result of an absolutely necessary rotation of squad in a very busy fixture period. We cannot play our strongest eleven in every match. It’s impossible.

I genuinely do. I wouldn’t frame it the way you do though. We are constantly probing, moving the opposition around, tiring them out and are having great success with it so far. Look how many points we have and our league position. Maresca is right. The fans need to be patient.

There’s an arrogance in our fan base being so down on a manager with Leicester top of the league with one of the best starts in the league’s history.

He’s right. Most of our fans are idiots - as demonstrated by the shrill anti-Maresca comments on this forum tonight.

Exactly. It is totally embarrassing.

Yes. But we had no choice but to rotate. It is impossible to start each match with our strongest eleven.

Did I?

A vocal minority of fans on this forum seem to getting a little ‘Puel out!’ about Maresca. I just can’t believe this. What exactly do you want?! We are top of the league with a massive amount of points and have even had enough chances to win the games we have lost. Literally - are you ****ing mental?!

We won’t be.

Yes. Patience is needed. Remember when we used to beat Guardiola’s Man City pretty regularly? This system takes time. Despite the shortcomings we’ve had a brilliant start and we dominate games too much to be falling down the league like a stone.

Maybe your reading of football is a bit backward?

We are top of the league. Sort yourself out.

This forum is embarrassing. Top of the league. Dominated the game and yet the doom merchants dominate and are down on the manager. Get a grip!

Have you seen how many games we’re playing in Dec?

By what metric have they battered us?

That Sheffield Weds player with grey hair and the tash is the most retro player I’ve seen for a while.

Why? You’re a Leicester fan.

That was a stonewall pen.

Some sanity on this forum.

Maresca out! 🤦🏻‍♂️

I genuinely think the way we play is fascinating. But then again I love chess and Maresca wrote a thesis on the similarities between chess and football.

We are top of the league and playing interesting football. What more do you want?!
