Countryfox Posted 9 April 2018 Share Posted 9 April 2018 The game on Saturday is going to be MASSIVE .. if we are not up for it then we have a big problem .. this time the team (cus of injuries) will almost pick itself so CP's influence is lessened ... this is about the players themselves as far as I'm concerned. I expect to see them tear into Burnley and really get stuck in ... nothing less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bablemikey Posted 9 April 2018 Share Posted 9 April 2018 I don't buy into the idea that the "old guard" are unwilling to change and will destabilise any attempt to do so. They are professional footballers and if the changes they are being asked to make and the way they are being asked to play brings results I'm certain they would be absolutely on-board. The problems come when things don't go well, that's when doubt comes in and undermines the managers credibility if he is unable to lift them above it. That's not just our club, its the same wherever you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and those stats were bolstered by two blanks against fleetwood (who should have scored in both games), Morgan started the Hudderfield game and we looked comfortable so that one doesn't count either. So in reality it was Chelsea and Watford that were blanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxesfan98 Posted 9 April 2018 Share Posted 9 April 2018 To me it sounds like some players that know they don't fit the new system and will be dropped next season are using their dressing room influence to kick up a fuss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxinsocks Posted 9 April 2018 Share Posted 9 April 2018 Puel needs to show leadership be being very clear to players and fans what his priorities for improvement are. Then it will be difficult for players out of step with this direction to backchat. I fear this may sink him if he cant assert his vision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hankey Posted 9 April 2018 Share Posted 9 April 2018 The players do not to be continually told how important the next game is how vital it is to gain 7th spot after all we're not dealing with kids - are we? The fact is certain players could be the ruination of this Club if a) they are not moved on or b) their hearts aren't in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a crap competition in the first place and detracts away from staying in the Premiership. And believe me if Claud the fraud is still in charge next season that's going to be a tall order on its own never mind playing in a nothing European competition.

That's not just our club, its the same wherever you go. Not if if their starting place is threatened. Two of the old guard are clearly in this situation with one being the actual captain and the third has an ungrateful job upfront in the new system for which he clearly isn't cut without a proper 10. Ranieri, Shakespeare and now Puel. There is a pattern. We do have a player power problem, no point in sugar coating it. The ball is in the owners camp. Either they back-up the manager they appointed, give him time to put his ideas in practice and tell the unhappy players to get the fck off or they ditch the manager and allow the circus to repeat itself next season with a probable relegation battle at the end of the road. It depends on wether they really have a long term vision for the club or not. Edited 9 April 2018 by ZeGuy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
