(Stability) Problem is some of our better players may get frustrated and go Clearly:.. you believe, we are an automatically Written in top 6 side, if we had chosen anybody else than Puel...? !! Upto 3 yrs ago, we shown disdain on this forum, towards other clubs forums, and fans writing how Pathetic it was, for them to automatically believe that their own club,(Whoever) had a 'right'+ to higher expectations, the destiny was theirs, they are a big club simply because...because they are!!. and their downright arrogance in believing they are something extra special...Etc etc etc.. It seems that virus has taken hold, within this once crazy , weird but honest, humble forum.....
Blue ROI Posted 25 October 2017 Posted 25 October 2017 Not really sure what to make of it. His record is hit and miss. Won the league with Monaco so one better than Claudio at least.The flip side is that his time at Lyon seems to mark the decline from their golden age. Southampton and the lack of goals is a worry but they were a bit depleted from previous years. I was as Villa-Southampton the day before our 4-0 win over Swansea in april 2016. Southampton were a joy to watch although up against a laughable Villa side.Had Shane Long in the best form of his career that he hasn't repeated since and lost Pelle that summer. In contrast our attack is still prolific regardless who's there outside of Ulloa. If anything Puel's emphasis on defence might be a change we badly need with our aging stalwarts. I tend to side with the doubters on this though and fear another Levein or Megson type thats out of touch. Hope I'm wrong.

He posted that BECAUSE of the Claudio tweet...
dylanlegend Posted 25 October 2017 Posted 25 October 2017 I'm quietly confident. i think our owners are low key genuises when it comes to finding the right manager for us at the right time

fuchsntf Posted 25 October 2017 Posted 25 October 2017 "Word of the day" UNDERWHELMED.... My 3 words ... embarrassed....Arrogance....Pathetic... That some posters ,thankfully not all ,creed it necessary, that we greet our new manager, with such a welcome.!!!

Did Southampton not lose some very good players between these to sets of stats? Including Mane who would be the best player for most teams outside the top 6? Not saying he will do well but if you want to "throw shade" at least back it up with more relevant info. I genuinely feel sorry for anyone joining our club. What happened to giving people a chance? X I'm absolutely amazed by how people are already dead set against him and have written him off before he even managed a game. Most of them knowing shit about him or his career other than the hearsay about his spell in Soton. You read some and you'd think we won the league every year since 1992, our squad is composed only of Hazards, Sanés, Kantés, and it's a heresy that we didn't get Ancelotti or Pellegrini. Can't wait for the match- and post match-threads.
Holmen#4 Posted 25 October 2017 Posted 25 October 2017 Cannot believe people are calling this a bad appointment. Are you actually judging him based on one season with Southampton? A season where they had the Europa League, and still finished 8th and got to a cup final. I think this will be a good signing for our club, and I am 100% behind him until proven wrong.
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 25 October 2017 Posted 25 October 2017 I'm ambivalent, which sums up how I feel about lcfc and the manager situation. When we had Nige in I was desperate for us to do well,because it felt like we were in it together and I wanted the success as a fan and for him personally. Claudio bought us great success,and was a lovely bloke so I afforded him more patience last year when many called for him to go. Shakey has seen 10 years of success afforded the club,so wanted him to carry on his legacy. But Puel I'm just not fussed about,if he does well great,if he doesn't then I won't be too fussed. Oddly as it sounds winning the title has made me less interested in us winning than before.
Shaqq Posted 25 October 2017 Posted 25 October 2017 I got a feeling some people on this forum are gonna feel quite stupid come end of the season. Both Dyche and Puel would´ve been good choices, think the owners did well in their decision.

Not even saying it in a "oooo sympathise with us" way, I genuinely think a lot of them have something against us. Whether it's because we put the English game's noses out of joint I've no idea.
murphy Posted 26 October 2017 Posted 26 October 2017 Just doesn't seem like a good fit. We are at our best when we go for it, hence why we've only started playing on several occasions this year when we've gone behind and had to chase the game. Football with the hand brake on. Not for me.
vanity Posted 26 October 2017 Posted 26 October 2017 High quality hire. We can expect him to be more aggressive his second time in the Prem. He has much better attacking talent than at Southampton, where I believe they ranked 20th in net spend the summer before his season, and they lost a number of quality players to boot from Koeman's side. He has won most everywhere he's been, and the Southampton fans who hated him didn't see the finished product, they only saw the scaffolding of his 3-year plan, so... he has never had the resources he will have here, he will have a superior team, talent-wise to what he had at Southampton, overall, I think he is well-positioned to be successful. And if we're going diamond 4-4-2, with a possession-dominant mandate and marauding FBs who bring the ball out, I really would like to see: -------------Vardy--Nacho w/Slim substitute after 60 min or vice versa ------------------Gray ----------Iborra---------Mahrez -------------------Ndidi Chilwell-Dragovic-Morgan-Maguire(?) Gray, Mahrez, and Iborra would suddenly make us look classy in possession, especially when Maguire takes the ball out when we build from the back, and Ndidi's lesser touch won't be much of a problem. I don't think the CBs will be very involved in going fwd, so I would be loathe to waste Maguire there if his other skills would not be on display, though many people obv think this daft, that he is a CB. In which case, we can get by with Albrighton for a bit, but we really need to upgrade our RWB.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 26 October 2017 Posted 26 October 2017 If he lasts until the end of the season I will be amazed. At a very big push if we have a bad start to next season he will be gone then but for him to last that long will be a miracle hope i am proved wrong up the Foxes

Pete from the USA Posted 26 October 2017 Posted 26 October 2017 I hope he sticks to a defensive, counter-attacking style of play. I have always loved this about Leicester's game.
ozleicester Posted 26 October 2017 Posted 26 October 2017 Well, im much happier with Puel than most of the other "realistic" names we were associated with. Fingers crossed he does well.

TheLittleBigMan Posted 26 October 2017 Posted 26 October 2017 Surprised by this. He'll get my support for sure but didn't expect this appointment. Still, if he loses like, two games our owners will sack him anyway. Poor c*nt.
TheLittleBigMan Posted 26 October 2017 Posted 26 October 2017 I'm off to the "new chants and songs" thread..
