Just because he made a couple of lazy throwaway comments. Yes they were maybe a bit uncalled for, but some of our fans blew it way out of proportion. I've rated him for a while now.

LJGrant Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 SkySports ran a profile when he joined Southampton - worth a read. “Attacking yet pragmatic” stands out, as does “builder”. “Likes his team to keep the ball”. Previously managed Mendy as well. Think we may all be jumping to conclusions based on a short spell at Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIKTOR-LE5 Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 I've mentioned the Wolves boss before, switched streams after the Leicester game an Wolves were fantastic, played without fear and some good football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenTheFox Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 Puel feels a bit of a 'yes man' to me. I don't get the impression that he's gong to challenge those that need challenging. If true I can't help but think that Rudkin has appointed someone who is best for Rudkin and not for Leicester City Football Club. Of course I may be wrong.

vanity Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 So we are going with a 4-4-2 diamond? I can actually see that working: ----------------Vardy ---- Slim/Nacho -----------------------Gray -------------Iborra --------- Mahrez -----------------------Ndidi Chilwell - Dragovic/Fuchs - Morgan - Maguire We focus on the passing triangles, MF spacing, Ndidi blows up everything as the deep PM, Ndidi gets the ball to Chilwell or Maguire, FBs go marauding, we possess the ball like we are Man City, Mahrez leaves in the spring, we either slot Silva in there or we put him where Gray is and Gray pairs with Iborra... Nacho might well thrive in such a formation. Vardy too, though he would have to move his game to focusing on quick cuts, dives into the channels for goals, not that he doesn't do that now, but we won't be sending it flying fwd much, Southampton liked the ball on the ground for sure, they played from the back. Problems: obv first issue is Gray and Mahrez won't be wings in this formation, but they can still do their thing. Also this may not "feature" Mahrez enough for his liking. But whatever. And of course, Simpson is prob out. How do you all see us lining up in a diamond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything confirmed? Have a look in the Puel thread. Telegraph links, stating he could be announced as early as tomorrow, is pobably the most convincing and respected link. Also, lots of other press outlets confirming talks have definitely happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I slotted him there bc (as you likely know) Puel's system plays from the back, the FBs in that system come fwd all the time, so I thought it suits his skill set perfectly. Or do you say that bc he doesn't have that sort of stamina? The problem is I don't think the CBs come fwd much in this system, and Maguire would get to use his movement and passing much more if he played outside. I think he'd freakin' jump at the chance to play FB in this system, but certainly I may be overlooking something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have the build or stamina for a full back or right back. Regardless of what system we play.....besides... Claude Puel.... ... They're all doomed anyways!

I *think* it would also allow us to field our most talented side in a 4-4-2 that would admittedly be radically different than what we do, but if we want to evolve, management may need to force the change on the players. Biggest problem as I see it would be the time to switch systems so drastically to a possession-based side -- weeding out those players who don't fit, then adding new ones in the summer, and then we have to integrate, you are really talking about a team that won't really be humming until next Xmas at the earliest. Hah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, IDK if he thinks he is a CB, seems to fancy himself something a bit more hybrid, but you may well be right. I suppose I see Pep do things like that, then I see maguire look like our best passer, and think to myself "why can't he drop a few pounds and up his cardio? he has the skills for the role." But if you are correct, and he physically can't, IDK, we don't really have the wingbacks to play this formation. Chilwell could do it, but Albrighton would be lacking in terms of possession and passing, I admittedly haven't seen enough of Fuchs, but I think we would need to buy a RWB in the end. I have been stumping for us to do just that lately, I think it is a position we could get a lot of joy from with 35-45 mill spend, someone with a touch of class on the ball who can defend and score, perhaps a young player a year away from rounding into something elite enough for the top 6 to come sniffing. Young legs, plus defender, run for days, everyone wants someone like that, but we still have a war chest, we still have players to sell (hopefully in the Jan window at a premium), add 1-2 premium players in the summer, we already have a very talented, overly-large squad, I think we can round into a pretty cohesive side if Puel is the guy, but as I said, will take until next season to fill the holes and really get going.
