Good tackle, his game still needs a lot of work though, Mendy is a superior passer. Has a great engine thats for sure. I honestly think moving forward its either Ndidi, Mendy or Hamza with someone with a bit more creative ability.

Yeah I noticed that too, you’d think they’d be in fully in the zone when on the ball togther but instead looked completely disjointed. I’m sure that will come in time. For players to gain that almost intuitive understanding of each other partnerships need to be built throughout the team. However, that wont happen if Puel continues to move players in and out of different positions, drop players for next to no reason and retain players in the team that are incredibly out of form. Ricardo for example should now remain at RB and completly make that position his own whilst trying to build a consistent partnership with Albrighton down the right.

Exactly what brings you to this conclusion? Serious question Swan.. because I’ve absolutely nothing to suggest this. As I’ve said before he’s the embodiment of the phrase flatters to deceive and perhaps in that I’ve answered my own question.

Sounds like it'd be one hell of a trip though

Translation : Less straight white men

Well I didn’t know that until you just mentioned it. Now its in my head.

Its doesnt matter who was on board a life is a life. We are all born equal and we die equal. Its utterly heartbreaking regardless.

Well the reason why is obvious my dear fellow - cuz we got the playerz to play it! Its only natural to want to harmonize the formation with the balance of talent in the squad - idealistically. But from a pragmatic standpoint I agree, if its not coached or it hasnt been tactically anything like what the manager has built his career around then no point trying to force the issue.

?? absolutely hilarious post! Fvcking gold mate

If you hate to bring it up why bring it up? Dont you think its a little sad digging around for old threads just so you can jerk yourself off to scoring points over other posters?

Couldn’t be a more different player than Kante, other than he’s short and black. I think maybe because its a bit of a comeback kid story, he was virtually written off.. so the contrast in his percieved value flipped 180 making his play seem amazing even though in reality its been bang average.

Makes two of us.. I dont get it either, all I see is a half decent water carrier. Doesnt offer much other than moves the ball on over short distances and sideways or backwards most of the time.

Im curious as to the reasoning behind Puel not letting the team pick itself and going 3-5-2. Perhaps this formation doesnt allow for such a possession game as he’d like. Even with Nacho going in a 2 with Vardy surely he could drop off and link up with Madison/support Vardy playing off the shoulder... so it would be more like a 3-4-2-1. Playing 3 at the back you’d think would alleviate some of out defensive issues as well.

Gray improved ‘massively’ this season - you been on the pop mate?

Cant beat a bit of race banter hey!

And that was exactly my point. To bring up race when it was not required. Moral point scoring is all he/she was after.

Oh fvck off and leave your racially divisive thoughts else where.

Played crap and won. Such a dreadful 1st half, need to start the games much better or else we’ll get punished at some point.

Gray has been crap all game, decent finish but it was a gift

Mendy doing a great impression of wading through cement. Its either Ndidi or Mendy in the centre.

Look fvcking woeful. Zero ideas zero creativity and scrappy in defence. We’ve apparently changed the system to dominate more possession?

Been dominated most of the half but a good last 10 mins. Maddison, Ricardo have been lively, Evens looks a little rusty and Mendy has looked a little out of his depth and sluggish

Simply simply

If Ricardo has been bought to play right wing then why the fvck arent we keeping him! Unless you prefer a make shift inexperienced nervy Amartey over a defensively solid title winning Simpson.

Clearly not
