Larry_LCFC Posted 20 April 2018 Share Posted 20 April 2018 (edited) So two weeks have passed since the last poll which saw "Puel In" win by about 63% to 37%. A pretty uninspiring loss to Burnley and an even less inspiring draw to Southampton have followed. Has the opinion shifted?

TheUltimateWinner Posted 20 April 2018 Share Posted 20 April 2018 (edited) Prediction: 70% out 30% in Puel in all the way though Edited 20 April 2018 by TheUltimateWinner 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AKCJ Posted 20 April 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 20 April 2018 Puel In. Rome wasn't built in a day. When he's got the players he wants we'll see faster football he likes to play. He can only do so much, we're in transition and we have to accept that if we want to play a possession based game that it will take time to get the right players in. 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechey Posted 20 April 2018 Share Posted 20 April 2018 (edited) In. Nothing has changed since the last poll, we still have the same players, and he's still not had a proper transfer window. We might not be on form, but I prefer watching us control a game and draw than watching us get absolutely pelted all game and lose 3-0 like we would under Shakey or latter Ranieri. New wingers who know what overlapping is, definitely needed. Edited 20 April 2018 by Beechey 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry_LCFC Posted 20 April 2018 Author Share Posted 20 April 2018 (edited) I'm still an outy. I just look at Puel and see nothing that makes me feel fired up. The bloke is underwhelming and he has no presence about him whatsoever. I think he will spunk the transfer budget up the wall and we will still play the same sideways and backwards 3 shots a game sort of way. I see no fire in his belly.

kingfox Posted 20 April 2018 Share Posted 20 April 2018 Out Not because I dislike him as a person, I just dislike his footballing methods. Not one of our players suit his style of football, the last five home games in particular have proved that. We have a very decent squad and drastic changes don't have to be made, yet some fans seem to think we need a clear out when Puel is the one that has turned them into negative boring rubbish. The position we are in is acceptable, the football we are seeing isn't, I want to see a bit of excitement again, with Puel in charge I can't see that happening. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devonfox1884 Posted 20 April 2018 Share Posted 20 April 2018 Out. Can’t remember who it was, but someone summarised the situation really well in the other Puel thread by saying that it’s clear we are at a point where the club is in and needs a transition, but there is no way on what we’ve seen in the last 20 games that they want Claude to be the man to oversee that transition. I completely agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 20 April 2018 Share Posted 20 April 2018 Currently 64% to 36% In... If someone has changed their minds after two games I think it says more about them than Puel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 20 April 2018 Share Posted 20 April 2018 In for now, but he's got to do something to win over the fans. At the next home game he needs to tell the players to just go for it for the first twenty minutes, abandoning his style if necessary. All fans are entitled to their opinion and if he's unpopular and the crowd continues to boo then despite not having done a bad job, the owners couldn't be blamed for replacing him. Just show us some high tempo football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ealingfox Posted 20 April 2018 Share Posted 20 April 2018 Regrettably I don't really want him here anymore. I still think the bigger issue is the large number of average to dogshit footballers in our squad, but a manager who actively coaches the team to avoid scoring goals will never be successful in football in this country. Rudkin also really needs binning. We will never make sustainable progress as a club whilst he is sitting comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southfox66 Posted 20 April 2018 Share Posted 20 April 2018 If Puel had any logic he would have allowed us to play to our best style get Europa spot, then start his system when season ended and get the players that fit that system, but to try it mid season is very poor management and to say we played ok in last five home matches is complete blindness and a man in denial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trav Le Bleu Posted 20 April 2018 Share Posted 20 April 2018 I said we need to think long term last poll. Why would I change after a few games. Oh yeah, cos I have a modicum of patience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were at one point in time with RDL and Schlupp as full backs, Vardy, Kante going full pelt for 90 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it. We absolutely dominated in the first half and just struggled to break down one of the most defensive teams to come to the KP this season. That's been our problem for at least 3 seasons now. Mark Hughes played for a draw, and so for almost the entire 90' Southampton had 10 men behind the ball, 11 at times. Even Man City sometimes struggles to break teams down when they do that. Walking into the dressing room and laying into the players when their performances were pretty good, would have done what exactly? 19 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonVirtine Posted 20 April 2018 Share Posted 20 April 2018 Still 'in' but perhaps more so. Against Southampton I saw progress, I thought I saw what he was trying to do, the shape of the team he wanted, and I thought it positive. We have defensive frailties to resolve (there's sometimes too much space in our midfield) that can be addressed through discipline and a signing, but once sorted I think we could well be an attractive attacking force. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
