He went to them with a good reputation from France, was stiffed without the spine of a team or any strikers for a big chunk of his season. Pragmatic rather than Puelis, and a damn sight better than Coleman, giggs or pardew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenTheFox Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 One thing I will say in his defence is that I've seen him criticised for not performing as well as Koeman at Southampton. What you have to remember is that he didn't have Mane, Wanyama, Pelle or Fonte (for half a season) and played significantly more games due to Europa League and their League Cup run.

BoyJones Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 Well Claudio was a lot more underwhelming when he was announced and that didn't turn out too bad the first season. Maybe be we should give Puel a chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamfox Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 Bit underwhelmed at first, just been watching his interviews and he could talk a glass eye to sleep but then is being charismatic the most important thing? His record is good, Southampton lost loads of players and could have been relegation fodder, he has had the right experience on his CV with positive spells abroad. I don’t get why anyone who would being over negative before a ball is even kicked? if he is our manager then I’ll stand a clap when he walks out, **** being on his back straight away. We need to establish ourselves in the EPL and maybe that’s what the owners are going for? Also hope we keep Appleton, so many negative comments about him for no good reason only a week ago as well..? I think we need some continuity in the management our side clearly enjoy working at the club and i get the feeling the number 2 position is underrated in its influence, its important to keep that team spirit after an unpopular sacking with the players. team spirit its part of our character now. Give him a chance, and get behind the Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 I would rather have Puel than; Colman Pardew Almyeda Giggs Alladyce we're not going to get; Tunchel Anchelotti Wagner Marco Silva we can't afford; Pellagrini Dyche and Lauren Blanc would be the only other avenues I'd like us to have gone down, but all in all, he's probably as good as we could get, in reality.

Chester Dontlie Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 Guys, we have much more exciting squad than Soton had under him, their best players including Mane and Pelle had left before last season started and he had to cope with the likes of Jay Rodriguez, Austin etc and buy Gabbiadini in January... They had very decent results and scored a considerable number of goals too, I wonder what did they expect, to do the Leicester or something? I just refuse to believe he can make it any more boring than the worst we've seen this year under CR and Shakes Yes it is a bit underwhelming, but at least it's not Pardew, Allardyce. or Ryan '****ing' Giggs! Also I hope we'll get this Plancque guy as a bonus, that mug alone is worth any price... Just give him a crate of Singhas, that should do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play more defensively and win more games 1-0 and become a decent top 10 side i'd be ****ing ecstatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 Fingers crossed. Anyone with a fresh outlook and a tactical awareness beyond 442 gets a chance for me. Hope it's a deal until the end of the year so we can reassess then. Confident he'll do ok with us as long as the players give him a chance...

That's probably the best way of looking at it. I don't think that Puel is a bad manager by any means. My real concern is that I'm not sure the squad we have really fit in with how he wants to play.

Buzzcrow Posted 24 October 2017 Share Posted 24 October 2017 Hi all. Saints fan her so go easy on me. LOL. Just wanted to say that Southampton didn't actually sack Claude Puel in the conventional way, according to Matt Le Tissier on Gillette Soccer Saturday a couple of months ago. Matt said that Puel was offered the chance to stay on as manager but he would have to change his style of play. Puel refused. That's why it took us so long to appoint Pellegrino who it has to be said is not doing great. There were a few of us that thought Puel might do well in his second season and were willing to give him another chance mainly because of the cup run and getting us to a major cup Final. To be honest he is still a bit of an enigma to most of us Saints fans and it would be hard to guess what is in store for Leicester with Puel in charge. I, for one, wish him well and hope he does a good job (except against us of course) for Leicester. We can throw in Eric Black (taken on as Puels interpreter) as well if you like. Good luck, it's going to be interesting to see what we are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
