Other than Southampton away who we beat (who were relegation fodder at the time) who else have we played well against and won in the last 7 months? Wolves?

Here is a list of available managers. Lambert De boer Pardew Bilic Moyes Allardyce Ranieri Henry Di Matteo If i've missed any feel free to add, but to those who want Puel out, who the hell do you want in? Lambert is underrated. Just saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bournemouth game is not a true reflection on the season so far. He is the first manager to recognize the teams shortcomings and attempt to fix them. Firing managers on a regular basis does not encourage quality people to join join us. Patience people, patience. Bournemouth is exactly the culmination of the season so far. We have been appalling defensively in every game and finally got our whalloping. How Puel can not see this is mind blowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is reasonable going forward as he always has been. But defensively he is average, positional play not good enough and I have not seen any improvements. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smr Posted 18 September 2018 Share Posted 18 September 2018 Seem to remember a certain bloke called Martin who fans held up 'get out' banners up at filbert street one evening.... I had lost confidence in Puel last season but i am fully behind him now, i agree with the owner's plans. Give him time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny_wright Posted 18 September 2018 Share Posted 18 September 2018 Funny how a nice hot summer can make people forget about the way we played from Feb-May.... Puel is a terrible manager, and was lucky to even get the job in the first place, im afraid its more of the same this season. He wont be here at christmas, good riddance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovejoy Posted 18 September 2018 Share Posted 18 September 2018 Good to see that when we win, all the excuses are rolled out for why the opposition lost, but when we lose, it's analysed for all it's worth and exaggerated where required . Now get Rafa "5-4-1" Benitez in sharpish . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now get Rafa "5-4-1" Benitez in sharpish . You do have a point, as fans of our club we can be that way. I will say though that this season our 2 wins we were poor in both games. Wolves could have easily been 2-O up before our first, we lacked any effort and desire at all. Southampton was a drab game, with a good goal from Bertrand, and then a long range Maguire winner that went between 2 players legs from distance. We did not play well in both our wins so I can see why people would come to that conclusion. I would say against united and Liverpool second half especially we played well. Looked to move the ball quickly and had chances to score. But we only really play well under Puel against the top 6, spurs and arsenal end of season, even though we lost to spurs, was a brilliant game to watch. Kalechi and Vardy linked up well, but then this season they don't play together. and against any other side, i think with the team we have on paper we should be dominating games with a tempo and pleasing style to watch. Yes we have young players but they are good players too. We set up so negatively and boring against Wolves, Southampton and Bournemouth where we should do what Wolves did to Burnley. Win, but dominate the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
