It was as boring as Nigel Worthington's regime. Hence this team MUST do something to connect with the fans. We've had Puel for almost half a season and not once have I heard a song towards him....says alot about how the majority feel towards him....Must give him time though...he's had the cash...now time to show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves,should be given the problem,we will pummel their right side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchsntf Posted 16 August 2018 Share Posted 16 August 2018 This game. Win lose or draw, poor or great,is not going to show too much,how our season will pan out. we have to get a few games behind us,and build and develop routine.....Let the players get to know each other's games,then see after 4-7 PL and a few efl cup games, if Puels set up is something to believe in and worth following.... He and the team can definitely win over a vast majority of us with a good all round performance this weekend,making it easier for him,and give him time , deep into the early season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 17 August 2018 Share Posted 17 August 2018 (edited) 21 hours ago, Koke said: We scored more goals than anyone bar top 6 last season. We scored 5 less than Chelsea. You can accuse Puel of anything but lack of scoring isn't one of them. We have scored a shed load under him. Defence is our problem. Yep, back four were atrocious at times last season. Then again, we were hammered by a few teams only which skews the stats somewhat. Just to throw this into the ring with regards to our Premier League goalscoring record under Puel last season: Out of these 56 goals scored, 12 had already been marked before Puel was appointed (in nine matches under Shakespeare/Appleton). Seven of the remaining 44 goals were scored in the last two matches. That leaves us with 37 goals in 27 league matches. That‘s roughly 1.3 goals a game. Not bad, but not overly impressive for a side that wants to push for a Top Seven spot. We‘ve also been overly relying on two players only in terms of attacking output. When 32 out of 56 league goals are scored by two individuals, you‘re asking for trouble. Looking at it from a different angle, other players scored 24 goals in 38 matches, that‘s a goal in two out of three matches... Not good enough. But either we address our defensive strategy or have to try pushing our attackers and midfielders to become more clinical up front. Either way, something‘s got to give. But I digress...

Sunbury Fox Posted 17 August 2018 Share Posted 17 August 2018 (edited) Just listening to the Radio Leicester Boot Room podcast. Some bloke from the local radio station in Wolverhampton was on. Talk about confidence - even Birch said afterwards that it's not worth us turning up on Saturday! At one point this bloke said the new owners at Wolves have ambitions to be on Man U's level within 10 years! ?

We’ll fosun are worth many many billions so they could afford to try (although how they get around the ffp annual wage bill increase rules without doing ‘a rangers’ interests me) anyway, could get to 80f tomorrow which could affect the pressing intentions of the teams ............

This is 'll true. But could also be said for the defence. We conceded 5 Spurs. 5 at Palace. 5 at Man City. 4 at Arsenal. So that skews that stat a bit as well.

Win lose or draw, poor or great,is not going to show too much,how our season will pan out. You’re right but say we played like last week and won 4-0... the atmosphere in the crowd and the excitement among the fans would be lifted which could really help us push on. I think back to Ranieri’s first game. The sun was shining and though pre match there was a buzz there was also some apprehension given Pearson’s sacking. 20 minutes in and 3-0 up and that apprehension had evaporated. The excitement was back and the fans behind the team and well... it turned out to be a decent season . So you’re right in the overall context one match doesn’t define anything but momentum is important and getting the fans behind you important.

Indeed, and I am definitely optimistic and agree with want you are saying. However,a 5-0 a la Bolton under tater peeler can also set the opposite tone. individual games with extreme results can dictate the season. They can also, however, be a total one off either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
