No one very good for me, Ndidi MOTM. We give them far too much time to organise the defence while passing the ball sideways. We need more direct movement at pace, whatever the formation. Vardy upfront on his own is isolated, The ball over the top is not working anymore.

Have you got a link for the article?

Not bad locally, the question I think will be about further afield. I reckon game on. I won't be moaning about players wearing gloves today though, Longjohns for me!

Wes, Simpson are past it for everything but back up. Kasper sloppy, and poor kicking. Chilwell and Ndidi struggled to cope. James anonymous. Mahrez the only creative player, but Stoke very physical on him. Albrighton better at the physical stuff but not so creative. Gray and Vardy both invisible. Puel: Whats happened? Had me excited to begin, but now bizzare line up. Subs changed it to a formation that no one seemed to understand. I hope he is learning something.

Southampton have a poor fixture list. I reckon they are going down.

He was injured most of last season, apart from CL games.

Polishes fingernails

Can I just point out what a Nostrodamus I am!

The system didn't work without Kante as we didn't regain the ball outside our own penalty area. Ngolo would get it 20 yards further upfield. This was the difference between long ball and incisive pass. Puel has improved the team, but still a work in progress.

Nah! Rochdale and Wigan will get through...

Acually, if we only got two more wins, I would be happy if they were Spurs and Arsenal

Something is going wrong at half time. It was the same vs Swansea. We got sussed out tactically by the other side and lacked the originality to create. Lets rip up Sheffield and get our heads together.

Dragon had some good bits too, as did Adrien

He certainly ain't no central midfielder!

Albrighton as CM doesn't work.

Looks more 451 and more solid

Be realistic, the same is true for all. Every player that they have on the pitch is man for man better than our team. They are walking the League.

Man City are a hell of a side. Hard to see how Mahrez would get into it.

Puel seems to love the lad. Let's hope he is vindicated.

Considering that it was similar antics by Mahrez at the end of the summer transfer window that kept him out of the Algerian national side, I am surprised to see so many Algerians supporting him. Losing twice to Zambia put them out of the World Cup. Zambia are not a bad side, but were Mahrez's antics destabilising?

Bony did seem to be limping and moving slowly, so I am not too surprised.

Bringing Mahrez back in to the team with the right attitude requires diplomacy. Prima Donnas require tact, not just the hairdryer. Not criticising him in public thereby feeding a media story, is wise.

More seriously: Drago and Maguire 8, evolving into a great partnership. Pretty much everyone 8 for first half, 5-6 for second. Swansea 3 first half, 5 Second half. Puel's subs a bit odd. What happened at halftime? We were rampant, then through it away.

Amartey was very anonymous. I can't recall him even getting a kick...
