Yes but looks can be deceptive, Remeber being top of the league under Taylor?

So you are saying that we are in a crisis? at a low point in the clubs history? We are in an unreal posistion compared to just 10 years ago. Some clubs would give anything to be where we are. We are probably in our best posistion ever off the pitch.

 

You dont need a very good memory to remember the dark times of LCFC and this is definitely not one of them.

Bit of a blip that’s all, I’m sure a lot of teams would love to be in Leicester City’s position in the Premier League, FA Cup & financially, Cov, Forest, Brum to name a few. Remember that this is Leicester City and we don’t do ‘normal’

I'm saying keep playing like we do under Puel and yes we soon will be in a crisis.

Dominating possession? Creating a ton of chances? Limiting teams to very few chances?

 

Doesn't sound like a crisis to me.

We had 13 shots 7 of which were on target this week and 13 corners with 54% possession.

Week before we had 16 shots 6 on target and 13 corners with 66% possession.

 

I cant see how Puel can be blamed?

 

We have changed out style massively over the last few months which looking at those stats is surely what all fans would want? Keeping the ball and creating chances? Its going to take time and a few new faces in the summer but all in all for me its gonig in the right direction.

[Lovejoy]

The state of some of our fans.

[walkerleeds]

Am I going mad?! We've never been in such a healthy position in our ENTIRE history, fact.

[FoxSinceBirth]

Some of the most deluded fans in history, do you think we'd be where we are with Shakey in charge???? highly doubt it!!!!!

Not a crisis yet I agree... 

But the last couple of months has seen poor performances and it doesn't take too long for a 'poor period ' to turn into a crisis!

But it also doesn't take much to turn it around, we have always been a streaky club with periods of games where we play crap then turn it around.

 

Relegation form in the championship after being top the season before we won it, half of the great escape season, the end of Ranieri's tenure, and Shakespeare's. We often have spells of poor results but we can turn it round into excellent runs, we just need that break and maybe Mahrez's last minute equaliser will provide that spark along with the return of Shinji.

Did you watch the last three games ? you should have gone to Specsavers.

Stats mean absolutely nothing. 13 corners ? and what did we do with them? Possession? does that win you games? The answer is no and a good job too or we would never have won the league. We only got going in the last ten minutes of those agme and were absolute dog muck for the rest of the games. Then you ask how can Puel be blamed, christ on a bike I would have thought it obvious.

Yes and we were the better team in all 3 games, created lots of chances and limited the opposition to very few chances. The difference is they took their chances, Stoke was our error that lead to their goal and Bournemouth was a stupid penalty, which could have been 2.

 

The reason for all our frustration is that we were the better team we created enough chances to score 3 or 4 in each of those home games, but we came away with a solitary point because of individual failings. The starting line up and approach was enough to win those games comfortably but daft errors and missed chances cost us. To me that isn't a crisis that is individual errors which we can prevent. We just need to be a bit more switched on and take our chances and we would be right behind Arsenal.

I remember that,aswell as being top under rainieri,wouldn’t say things have been that bad since then

We were at home, playing one up front. If you seriously thought we were the better team then there is no hope. We looked just like them a struggling Premiership side. Absolute million miles away from a couple of seasons ago with basically the same players as then. It's our style of play that is at fault not the players and that can only be down to Puel.

Are you saying you thought Bournemouth, Stoke and Swansea were the better teams?

I am not particularly impressed presently but really!

You have been a supporter just 10 years longer than myself and if you think we are getting even remotely close to genuinely thin times then you have been supporting a different club.

In reality you are just a wind up merchant trying to make a first impression, which you have ,but not a good one.

Well grabbing last dying second equalisers at home says so?

No it really doesnt, like saying Wigan were the better team against Man CIty they were werent.

 

We are not converting chances and if you really think we play 1 up front you should really go to Spec Savers yourself.

 

Can you really blame Puel for trying soemthing different in the league? Dont you think he is using this time to see how and where we need to improve?

 

I'm not sure if you are bored and just looking for some one to disagree with you to keep you entertain but you surely cant really think we are in a crisis and need what you are basically saying is you would sack Puel and start yet again?
