I'd agree with you if you compare us with the Bloomfield side, but otherwise Puel is doing a good job, changing an aging squad, signing and keeping young players, playing and developing young players, planning for the future, changing our playing style AND keeping us safe and competitive. This is a huge change, and cannot be done quickly. I'm glad our owners seem to agree with me. Apart from Manchester City fans (apart from moaning about Mahrez!) every club seems to be moaning about their manager. Read their forums! Even spuds fans are moaning about Ponch 'wasting a generation'. Of course we all want success, but I don't know why football fans cannot see the bigger picture and all demand this instant success all the time. It just doesn't work like that! As for replacing Puel, just think of who we might get........and I'm not saying that because I think Puel is the best of a bad bunch, I really think he has a positive vision for our club. I wouldn't be so sure, I noticed that the older foxestalkers tend to be the least patient amongst our fanbase and want Puel out, the same ones who hated Pearson because "he was dour" and that "he was never gonna get us to the prem" and wanted him out when he was here. Weird considering they should understand better than many the benefits of a long-term approach as a football club, but hey ho.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that "decent team" we faced, only won because of a screamer, us being down to 10 men and Vardy missing an absolute sitter. All of course it the managers fault and not down to individuals. No they only won because of the naivety/ incompetence of our manager.Had we had 11 players on the pitch it is highly likely the screamer would never had happened.

Utter nonsense and you know it, were people screaming for Maguire to get subbed against Bournemouth when he got a yellow and then clattered someone, which he could easily have gone off for. No they weren't, because it's rare for players on a yellow to get subbed just because they are on a yellow. Managers trust players to not make a clanger. I suppose he's responsible for Vardy missing a sitter as well, because he's "frustrated". Like he gets blamed when Vardy makes moronic challeneges and gets sent off. More retoric from people who are desperate to blame absolutely everything on him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but Maddison did say recently that Puel was a big factor in him joining. Doing a big presentation for him saying where he will fit in at Leicester and how he’ll help him improve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More retoric from people who are desperate to blame absolutely everything on him. It's absolutely true that at the moment, whatever Puel does, it's wrong with some posters, who have decided they dislike him. They just want to be proved right by telling us all that 'he should have done this, or that'. They can't wait until he is sacked, just so they can tell us all that they were right. I'd be delighted if he proves them wrong. Any excuse to get at him, they hate his press conferences, they hate his substitutions, they hate his English, they hate his hair, they hate if he plays Morgan, they hate if he doesn't play Morgan, they want Albrighton in, they want Albrighton out, they want Evans in, but he's shite so that's Puel's fault too. It goes on and on and on! I'm glad he is trying to build something here, but sad others can't see it and just support the guy. At least our owners are, so far, seeing the bigger picture and long may that continue. The players seem to like him, I noticed Vardy having a good laugh with him against Huddersfield, and the players are certainly trying and playing for him. Puel cannot be blamed for Morgan, our most experienced player, captain and supposed leader, being so naive to get suckered into a stupid half way line tackle, or Vardy, and Armartey missing sitters, or Davies not being sent off after a really nasty high tackle on Vardy. Our most experienced players should be really showing our young team how easy it is to con referees nowadays, but they are the ones that seem to be letting the side down, but it's our youngsters who are showing them up. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which largely hasn't happened this season. In the two 90 minutes he hasn't scored in, he's had good chances. The Wolves home game there's an argument to say he was isolated but that's about it.

All of us have a different perspective of tactics, just read the 'you are the manager v Everton' post and you will see numerous different ideas, all of which, if Puel had implemented them, would have been slaughtered on here if the match outcome had been the same. Mainly, he is getting it pretty much right. It is a massive task he has undertaken here, inheriting an aging squad, playing hoof football and sinking fast. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good bits, some average bits, some poor bits and totally unsure if it'll pay off. But I do like the fact someone actually has their own vision and the guts to implement it.

Turning us into a team that can get hold on the ball, control games without sacrificing our counter-attacking strenght, and not hoofing it like there is no tomorrow. That would be the first step to cement our position in the top 10, better chances to win a cup as well. Buying clever, relying on and developping young players to sustain this position and having a chance to aim at a regular European spot in next couple of seasons. If you weren't so impatient, biased and putting so much weight into how speaks, you could have spotted it all by yourself.

More retoric from people who are desperate to blame absolutely everything on him. Morgan had a final warning right in front of him, Puel had an international centre back sitting on the bench but did nothing.I don't know where you sit in the ground but virtually everyone near me was calling for him to be subbed before he was sent off.It is not about players being on a yellow it's about someone on a final warning with nearly half the game to go getting a runaround and basically being an accident waiting to happen. And yes I do apportion blame where it's due,all teams miss sitters not just us however let's use it as an excuse for another Puel led defeat to an average team so we can add it to all of the other defeats against average to crap sides since he took over. But not to worry we are still a work in progress and in transistion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
