Now he has a preseason, we've spent a bit on players(with probably a bit more to come) and he's even got another coach in and got rid of Appleton. The bare minimum we should expect for this season is a higher place and more points. For me, the bare minimum is simply to see the boys playing some nice football, with a clear tactical plan and no more square pegs in round holes. I have no positional expectation. Just to be entertained and to see what we are trying to do. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The squad's evolving and other teams have invested a lot. Last season the target should have been 7th but this season I'd like looking at 10th. That's true. I dont think anyone can expect a top 7 finish, maybe not even top 10 if we dont change formation and end up going into the season with Gray (inconsistent, cant score), Diabate (no clue if he will be any good) and Albrighton (cant score, can only cross) as wingers. Need a top class one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison is a gamble, Gray has yet to prove himself, Diabaté is still rough, Nacho blows hot and cold, Silva is an unknown. The whole team is in the (re)build phase. We're going to be hit and miss A LOT before things start to click, if they click. How can people think about top 6 is beyond me. You have to be consistently good and have a couple world class players to expect challenge the top 6. How is that going to happen this season, unless we have a miracle transfer window? Watch people wanting Puel out after three games. Or less. Yeah, he never had over half of last season did he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fall into the same boat, at the end of the day finishing 8th or 13th is unlikely to make me feel much different. What I would like is some exciting games, half decent football and to feel like we have a team that giving everything with a manager whose long term vision is working, seeing improvements here and there and feeling like we are moving in the right direction as a team and finding a way to move on from the best team we've ever had. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairbanksh Posted 20 July 2018 Share Posted 20 July 2018 We’ve made a few decent transfers so far but Rudkin needs to crack on Still not convinced about our recruitment team absolutely not convinced with Puel it will take a lot for me to forget second half of last season , beyond bad at times Genuinely want to be wrong but!

Need a top class one. Even if they could cross consistently who's going to put it in the net? Apart from Ulloa (bench) and Slimani (probable loan or bench), we don't have a "center forward". Moreover from my observation of the transfer rumors, we ain't looking for one either. Edited 20 July 2018 by Smudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldeagle Posted 20 July 2018 Share Posted 20 July 2018 (edited) Some of the comments on here just make me laugh . Puels fault he’s dismantling our winning team everyone’s not happy because of Puel so that’s why their all leaving . He’s destroying our team spirit . NEWFLASH that all went way before Puel was here . It was pretty much gone in Ranieri’s second season . We’ve all heard of rumours of Ryad and Vardy falls outs, no one really liking Kaspa Wes and Simpson spitting their Dummy’s out etc etc . Add to this Ryad has been wanting to leave for god knows how long Drinky couldn’t get out of here quick enough and rumours of player power and god knows what else . It’s been obvious for a long time that it’s not been a happy ship at Leicester and things neeeded sorting . What Iv seen so far football wise I am not totally convinced but I can see that Puel it trying to shift some dead wood hence all the loans last season. I also think possibly some of rumours of players not being happy is because Puel has told them they a surplus or they are some of the old guard who are being dropped . Who seriously wants players that are happy not to play . So minus Ryad the only other player we have heard of wanting to leave (if true ) is Kaspa who apparently has an attitude and has had a bust up Puel all of this is just rumours except the part where it all Puel’s fault apparently Edited 20 July 2018 by baldeagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of Morgan, Simpson, Fuchs, Albrighton to all be moved on. Mahrez wanted to go before Puel, Kante and Drinkwater did. It's only Schmeichel rumoured to be going from that team solely under Puel's watch. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l444ry Posted 20 July 2018 Share Posted 20 July 2018 (edited) Think most people wanted Puel gone for good reasons. Think most people are prepared to go with the Owners on this one, through gritted teeth mind you. Won't take a lot for the Stadium to become toxic if the sideways football continues. Personally, I think he's lucky to be manager of this great club and got virtually no faith in the fella. Edited 20 July 2018 by l444ry 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the remnants of the title winning side virtually swept away, and with it the team spirit and unity forged by Pearson in the magnificent championship win and subsequent Great Escape, I believe this could be a very tricky season. I’d be happy with anything in the top half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 20 July 2018 Share Posted 20 July 2018 Our best hope is to go and try and get him before he leaves as often managers want a break when they do that. I'd take the risk and bin Puel tonight and then go knocking for Rafa all guns blazing with the promise of £50-100m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how sometimes the negative Posters Seem to be irritating and fishwife naggers,many are Also stalwart Fox supporters..and even if it is somewhat naive,I believe most of us,do have varying Expectations,but also fair enough,to give Puel balanced support.It wont be whether we are chasing, top 4,but how "OUR" Team,in developement ,actually individual/Team potential translation will evolve. if we turn up with committed stable performances and some decent results and showing. No More long periods of continual turgid performances. I suppose we all just want to sitback,relax and enjoy simply just watching us turn out quality performances,that draws us Into being proud of our LCFC seasons Team.And not have too many of those continual dreaded moments. We want/need Puel to create an ERA and a positive history over the Next few seasons..simples more of this 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The whole world smiles Posted 20 July 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 20 July 2018 (edited) Puel is Manager of this great football club. The owners have backed him. Not just by keeping him but With giving him his own players and his staff he is clearly the right man for the job in the owners eyes. baring that in mind it's time for us fans to back him. So stop moaning and bitching and writing him of before a ball is kicked, comparing him to other managers and get behind him and get behind the fuching players. Because who knows together we might just make some more history. Leicester till I die. Edited 20 July 2018 by The whole world smiles 16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Koke Posted 20 July 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 20 July 2018 (edited) Rafa will bore half of you tears and #RafaOut will be a thing within 3 months. Newcastle accept his style because their aim is survival and their players are mostly Championship cloggers. Our ambitions are higher than theirs and our squad is vastly superior, so we rightly have higher expectations than finishing 16th. Rafa is a great manager but the ones on here bashing Puel for playing boring football will be flooding the airwaves + social media to get Rafa sacked due to boring football.

UPinCarolina Posted 21 July 2018 Share Posted 21 July 2018 Boring football, PL riches and safety will bring us a new training ground, new stands and a healthy transfer kitty. If Puel can deliver 6-8th, he ought to easily keep his job. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
