NotTheMarketLeader Posted 5 April 2018 Share Posted 5 April 2018 Wes, the master tactian was behind our title win!!! ? Who else can come out of the woodwork from people’s imagination and userp the actual manager at the time for fashioning the greatest ever footballing story. Maybe you were joking me thinks?

The irony of someone on here (unless you're a very big talent in your chosen field, and even if you are, it's still twattish) accusing someone who has managed a club to the CL semis, as a no-mark. So us winning the league is now irrelevant? And since when have we played " swift incisive football " under Puel? I must have missed it among all that dreadful side to side back to back boring nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did a fabulous job back then (with a lot of shielding by Kante), it should not make them immune to valid criticism now. The point about 'swift, incisive football' is that is is made less possible with those two taking an age to get the ball under control. Please don't do what so many do, which is selectively (and without context of the original overall statement) cherry pick what is said and ignore the basic point, it gets very tiresome to try and discuss with.

He is a no mark in terms of agents who want to promote their players to join us. the sooner he is gone the better, we are as a club bigger and better than the likes of him. Players are only good in systems that suit them. Simpson and Morgan were excellent in a fast counter attacking side that funnelled the opposition down the wings. In a possession side, much less so (although I suspect Simpson could change). And a possession side we could be, with owners who are willing to let us change, a manager who can play in that style and players suited to it: it's only the last we don't currently have, or can't use anyway. And a side happy with possession is probably the best tactic for us now, in a league where the bottom half are trying to play fast counter attacking football, which we could never cope with even in 15/16, and where the top half are successfully beating fast counter attacking teams.

I speak for every fan with half an ounce of sense yes. I clearly dont speak for your lunatic knut movement that you belong to. The one that would like to see a manager sacked who had one transfer window, the January one at that, and took us from relegation zone to 8th in that period. Hes also finished 8th and took Southampton to a league cup final. So whats your problem? that maybe you have to concentrate on an interview a little harder? oh the humanity. Weve got some absolute penis posting stuff like the manager has no pulling power despite managing clubs to champions league semi finals and working with Macia who has worked for clubs like Valencia and Liverpool and you agreeing. What should we go back to? Pearson who was last spotted in the Belgian 2nd division after also making a total fvckup of Derby? Ranieri who was losing the plot and someone you no doubt hated anyway? Yeah were a bigger and better club than Claude Puel so lets go and get back a manager out the Belgian 2nd division instead of a Ligue 1 winner and champions league semi finalist. So ironic in fact that everyone loves a rough diamond value for money signing, and weve probably found one in Diabate, and youd be splaffing yourself silly to the point you had no milk left if Walsh found him no doubt, but because Puel found him i suppose thatll be used as evidence that he couldnt attract Ronaldo and Bale. Or maybe youre hoping a pig will fly past your window tonight and Carlo Ancelotti will declare his unquestionned love for Leicester City and sign a 10 year contract with us. But hes also got to tell everyone to hoof it because you cant handle anyone passing the ball 5 yards to a team mate and hes also got to win the league again in the process or he is a failure. Youre both going on ignore anyway. Edited 5 April 2018 by Donut 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 5 April 2018 Share Posted 5 April 2018 It’s about getting the ball from A to B, why pass it around when you can just punt it upfield from our half and hope for the best? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 6 April 2018 Share Posted 6 April 2018 Still think some people are judging him too soon. If we're crap after he's actually brought his own signings in then yeah, by all means pick at him. We lost the best player in our title winning side the summer after it happened. I'm amazed people overlook they say "why can't we play like the title winning side". Losing him, in a nutshell was a big part of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding to this, I highly doubt people will give Puel the grace of finding a Mahrez replacement or allowing a player the time to develop into the Mahrez replacement. Itll just be used as another stick to beat him with, totally not of his choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 6 April 2018 Share Posted 6 April 2018 Think some people expected the title win to prompt our overnight transformation into some juggernaut mega-club with unrivalled pulling power. Not how it works I'm afraid. Puel - i.e. successive top half finishes and the occasional cup run - is about our level. It's not out of the question that we'll progress further and be able to have a serious crack at breaking the top six, but it takes time, long-term planning and luck. The news about the training ground and stadium expansion speaks to the fact that we're trying to move onwards and upwards, but to do so with the backs-to-the-wall directness of the title win is not realistically possible or sustainable for so many reasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 7 April 2018 Share Posted 7 April 2018 Will judge him fully at the end of the season. This is the most-important part of it, and if he delivers consistency and the 7th place prize, then he deserves to be part of the longer-term plans.

Tielemans63 Posted 7 April 2018 Share Posted 7 April 2018 (edited) He's done a good job since he came in and it seems clear to me that he's trying to implement a new style and that doesn't happen overnight. Ridiculous to suggest the guy should be gone at this point, we're in a good position in the league (which we weren't when he arrived) and there's a gradual evolution to our play. As others have said the real test will come in the summer when we lose Mahrez and maybe Maguire. Seems like a very safe pair of hands to me and someone who can build something. Yes he's boring as shit but who cares? Shakespeare being a lovely bloke didn't make him a better manager did it? I get that fans want to see ambition from the club but you have to put our current position into context- right now we're in the top 8 which is relatively rare territory across LCFC's history. Plus the club are investing in a new training ground and the board are looking at expanding the stadium - that shows ambition. Rome wasn't built in a day.

ARM1968 Posted 7 April 2018 Share Posted 7 April 2018 Dunno why Pep is messing about with the tippy-tappy pissy-passy football. Waste of fuching time.

WigstonWanderer Posted 7 April 2018 Share Posted 7 April 2018 There’s a big difference between being comfortable in possession and being a possession oriented side. In the past we have lacked the former and shunned the latter in favour of fast attacking football. Unfortunately that title winning style morphed into a caricature of itself, as just lumping it over the top. I’m still hoping that we can get a good balance between being comfortable on the ball and playing fast attacking football, but recent signs have not been good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
