Headers go straight up, he gets his foot to the ball but he has no idea where it is going after that, mostly to the opposition. Bench warmer at best once Silva gets into the team. Thought he didnt do too bad tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate he made 7 tackles in this game. I'm not sure if you understand how crazy high that is, but that's a lot of tackles for one player in one game. He's not a technical player and to pretend Silva is anything like Ndidi is deluded. Not to mention he had over 80% pass completion so clearly you're talking out of your rear.

Ffs its not like the player has just not had any amatuer, reserve team experience for majority of there there lives. Chilwell should be better, he is showing lack of confidence.

Bert Posted 24 November 2017 Share Posted 24 November 2017 Again, like Stoke we probably should have been out of sight at half time. They came out in the second half and as much as we didn't create a thing they looked likely to get the winner. So in the end I would say a draw is fair. We really need to start taking our chances when we are on top. Kasper at fault for their goal for me. If you're gonna come for the ball you need to come, don't hesitate as it causes confusion and look what it lead to. They defended very well and seemed to get everyone behind the ball very quickly when we were attacking which is never easy to break down especially when we look to exploit space at pace. Subs from Puel once again questionable for me. I seriously think that Puel is trying to get us to play in a way so that when Silva is eligible he will slot right in for us and I can see us going 433 with Gray and Mahrez out wide. Top performances from Simpson and Iborra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could easily be bottom 3 or 4 by then. And they are not a pretty decent team they are in the bottom three and one of the current favourites for relegation and we simply didn't have a clue in the second half. Makes me wonder what on earth Puel said to them at half time. Well no we can't be, look at who is playing who, realistically the lowest we can go is like 15th, and even then the teams up to 5 or so places above us would be only 1 point ahead of us.

We didn’t invent it and we’re still capable of it. Kante isn’t the be all and end all. But if we're containing teams then breaking we need a lot more than our current back four, and we need a lot more than our central midfield two. Occasionally we can pull it off as Brucey's pointed out. But without the club pushing for that style, in our managers and in our buys, I can't see it coming back: Vichai, Rudkin et al don't seem to be pushing for it.

However that second half just was a shambles and despite the positive first half our mentality switched to just settle for a point. When a team is struggling even when playing them away you go for the throat, you play on the front foot and don’t allow them to create any sort of rhyme. We were happy to allow them to gain confidence and start dictating play in that second half, the subs showed we were happy to just go away with a point. Put it simply... I want to see us just attack the sh*t out of teams like them, no confidence and can’t create f all. Sorry but pUel was poo hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxtillidrop Posted 24 November 2017 Share Posted 24 November 2017 Why doesn't this manager play Okazaki? Terrible second half performance, no intention of trying to win the game. How can we look forward to the Spurs game after that? Okazaki disrupts the opposition - crazy to leave him out away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Away Move Posted 24 November 2017 Share Posted 24 November 2017 I feel pissed off at having to do the round trip from South London to see that. God knows how those who made the trip from Leicester and further afield felt. That was garbage. Where were the runners and the incision? I can't believe we didn't release our attacking flair against them. In the end we were lucky to draw IMO. We seemed content just to pass it around without doing anything. I am still giving Puel the benefit if the doubt, but this better not have been a sign of what is to come a-la what Southampton fans have been saying. We allowed a West Ham side low on confidence and an early goal down to grow massively in confidence. So frustrating! Spurs will batter us if we play like that next week.

Bunyip Posted 24 November 2017 Share Posted 24 November 2017 Puel has already lost the dressing room if indeed he ever had it in the first place. The players did not have a clue what they were supposed to be doing and quickly gave up trying to do whatever it was he told them to do Dark days ahead I'm afraid.

Ric Flair Posted 24 November 2017 Share Posted 24 November 2017 There's lots of positive and lots of negatives of Puel's reign so far, I admire he's trying to change our style as it's absolutely needed but what's ironic is I think we'd be on 3 wins and a defeat had he stuck with 4-4-1-1 in the 4 games of his tenure as manager as we have been in decent form and especially Okazaki. We've played some serious shit one Everton, Stoke and West Ham and only have one win to show for that. We usually start era's for new managers ridiculously well but this has been a mediocre start now and is finely poised. It's quite clear that a possession based system of 4-2-3-1 does not sit comfortable with Simpson, Morgan, Fuchs and Ndidi. We're not going to be anywhere near what we're capable of until we bring in better replacements but I think it's needed. I suppose we could try and find a middle ground of our fast counter attacks and being more comfortable on the ball in between. I do feel Puel is now ramming home his methods when he might not have all the players for it and is wasting the obvious team talents of Okazaki and even Slimani. Vardy seems to be a passenger a hell of a lot under Puel, just nowhere near enough chances coming to him and that's a huge worry with no other striker in the team. That said the way we started games under Puel bar Man City we ought to have been home and hosed and to have to take the positives of that. I just hope he has a rethink in the coming games and realises he doesn't need to make drastic changes right now, Okazaki in with Vardy against pony like West Ham is the right call and not another midfielder.
