Love it, been saying the same for a while mate, we do have our 'thinking man' lol

Careful mate, you're sounding a bit like Col lol

I recall thinking / saying that Appleton and Puel looked like kindred spirits or something akin to that early on after his appointment. Obviously, this was based mainly on appearances and their demeanor around each other - not on the results that we've seen since then - but it does seem like they've got on well. I have to think that Appleton has benefited from the experience.

I’m sure I’ve been saying for a while that Puel is ‘our thinking man’.

You’re about two weeks late mate.

Difficult to imagine him inspiring anyone isn't it?

I get the feeling he's respected though.

There's a starter Col lol calling it dead early!

Really surprised at Puel today.

I've been well impressed at his ability to tactically work us through games, but today he (and the players were inept).

I don't exaggerate. We could see that we weren't in that game after about ten mins, yet Puel did nothing to change it up and to get us into a position to challenge. 

That actually was awful today. We were beat in terms of effort and Hodgson, though I hate to say it, set Palace up superbly.

Another supportive one highlighting his thinking mate,  CBA to try and find when you realised we have a good manager lol

Ps I know you're going to tell me you were being balanced and subjective, I say mind them splinters! lol

Puel has pretty much pulled off a miracle in just three months and I have a feeling that Appleton deserves a lot of credit too. They looked very comfortable working together from the body language at games right from the start. To move us from a team without a clue how to keep possession to the team we see emerging now is a credit  to both of them. It also says a lot about our players that they have bought into the new philosophy so wholeheartedly. What has been achieved is just stunning. I called a long time pal and Leicester fan at half time during the Chelsea game and told him I don’t recognize the team anymore!! It was stunning how we had changed our approach and were executing with such precision in our buildup play from the back. To go from a back four with a combined age of 32.5 years to one of 23.5 years in six months (most of it in 3 months) and to have FIVE straight clean sheets is unprecedented . To see Ndidi bossing Kante and the Chelsea midfield and then destroying the very physical Watford (and Huddersfield) midfield at his age is quite something. Yes we have made some pretty bad acquisitions since we won the League but just look at the wider picture for a second. We are now a very balanced side, with some depth as well. With a style of play that has cohesion and a real sense of team purpose again. Everyone knows their job and all are buying in and the results are there to see. The players look happy and committed. 

Puel and his staff deserve huge credit for this.

Long may he continue to be boring as fvck in press conferences and trot out the same monotonous answers after games.

Here's to many years of him going under the radar and gradually improving the team without any controversy and drama.

Agreed!

 

At the same time, I can see how Southampton fans were utterly frustrated by Puel's post-match comments when results weren't going their way.  His calmness likely worked against him there, not being able to continue despite finishing last season with respectable results. 

 

I'm praying that the same thing won't be repeated here.  Thought I'd mention this while we're earning those 3 points with clean sheets and inching up the table.

He is Ryan Giggs on steroids, minus the viagara, plus hard work and an IQ over 100......

Great asset to the club

 

And minus the shagging his brothers wife behind his back for 8 years.

 

Top man Mr Appleton.

Yeah, I was having a laugh mate. Seems like a good guy. 

 

I like how relaxed him and Puel look around each other and how Claude seems to be constantly in his ear (in a good way), it shows a lot of respect from Puel towards Appleton.

If I had have been more on the ball I'd have whipped up a nice Photoshop haha.

 

For someone who looks like a bouncer/hit man he seems like a top guy.
