Nothing really new there ...

good stats

"Intriguingly, they are conceding fewer goals while also making fewer tackles and interceptions"

 

That's what possession brings you.

Yes, but also better pressing, defensive shape and organisation.

Surprisingly they failed to mention the very important matter of the drastic reduction of the age of our defense.

[Hammo]

I wouldn't call it a 'must read' at all - unless you enjoy being bombarded by stats.

 

For those of us who watch every LCFC game, this article is just stating the bleedin' obvious. Far more observant and analytical views on our progress under Puel can be read on this forum.

To be fair that's more through circumstance than choice. Morgan & Simpson would still be starting had they not got injured. Now if Puel sticks with Dragovic & Amartey even when the other 2 are fully fit then credit must go to him.

They also stated that him bringing in  Iborra and Silva 

has added experience and composure to the midfield. But Silva has hardly featured and didn’t they sign when  Shakey was in charge

Also if they both come back and have a great EOS....

We’ve got a manager that when asked what his favourite colour is, doesn’t answer with “tree”.

Bit weird to compliment the signing of Silva when he has played about ten minutes of football

Nothing wrong with being frank about us signing a more experienced midfielder in Silva.

[Chico1958]

Shit............. now we have to hide another one along with Wilf and Harry

 

Watch out for Chelsea coming around when Conte leaves  

[Nalis]

Think this more of an article for non Leicester fans than Leicester fans.

Ha ha, if you can be bothered to sift through the crap to find it!

Do they mention he speaks quietly in interviews and

Yes yes and they don't say whether a quietly spoken manager can ever succeed in the shouty, shouty world of premier league management. A glaring omission that this forum has covered at quite some length.

This surprised me..i thought we had substantially reduced it... but....

Maguire has been key to a newfound willingness to play out from the back – only 17% of Leicester’s passes are long now compared to 20% under the two previous managers

a 3% reduction is neither here nor there.

[HitchinFox]

That article could do with someone proofreading it...

It wouldn’t surprise me if those percentages were wrong in the article though
