So, 5 games in...

[DennisNedry]

When have we actually played well?

 

Man Utd we were OK in spells, but too passive with the ball and created very little. Yes it was Man Utd but they got turned over by Brighton the week after.

 

Wolves, we were poor, we got outplayed by Wolves for most of the game, got the jammiest clean sheet ever and got 2 flukey goals.

 

Southampton we were terrible, and edged a dreadful game because Southampton were terrible too.

 

Liverpool, we again were OK, but Liverpool beat us in 2nd gear.

 

Bournemouth - we've been humiliated. Defending comical.

 

 

Not seeing anything positive in Puel at all (barring perhaps he had a good transfer window). 5 more games, if there's no improvement, I'm jumping on the Puel out wagon.

I agree completely

shambles

Puel should have gone at the end of last season but once he didn't he has to have 10 games although I still expect him gone around then.

[Matt]

Let people keep papering over those cracks.

Boring and sideways. Having possession is no good if you don't score. We don't even threaten really either.

Deserved at least a point against Man Utd and Liverpool.

 

Started slow against Wolves, Vardy sending off didn't help but we won.

 

Southampton was poor from both teams, we played really well after we scored though.

 

Today, a bad day at the office for many players.

 

The football has been much better in my opinion, starting games slow has been our biggest problem, today we started well  but our shambles of a defence cost us.

 

Not going to bash us and say Puel Out just yet, when we start losing home games to shitty sides again then I'll worry.

The problem is Puel will never get the full backing of all the fans, he is still unpopular with a significant number of fans, I'd go as far as saying if he was sacked tomorrow at least third of fans would either be happy to see him go or not bothered either way. 

 

P. S I'm not saying we'll sack him tomorrow

United was our best performance and we created enough but didn’t score. First half  today we created good enough chances to have been in the lead but Puel’s team selection and how high the line was were the issue today.

When we played Man U and Liverpool it was "we played well" but we still lost. When we played Wolves and Soton it was "it's the sign of a good team when you play badly but win". Today we played badly and lost. The only thing we haven't seen is us playing well and winning. We have a good squad, we are worse than the sum of our parts.

And you're happy at a paltry 6 points out of a possible 15?!!

Fuchs is a better full back than Chilwell.

 

Albrighton has 3 assists and 1 goal in all competitions compared to Gray's 1 goal.

 

I think both Fuchs and Albrighton should start at least for the time being, as they will provide some stability both defensively and going forward.

It wasn't the fans that picked the team or the tactics today.

Excuses and more excuses from the dreamers. Results are carrying on from last season. Only difference is that we are losing while being marginally better on the eye (apparently).

Comment of the day. Nothing more to be said.

Chilwell is better than Fuchs now, Fuch ms isn’t mobile enough anymore. Chilwell was our best defender today so odd to single him out.

 

Agreed with Albrighton over Gray though, how the **** did Gray get a call up.

That kind of proves the point we lost again, also if my figures are right in Puels last 26 games we have picked up 26 points 

[tsintskaro]

exactly and when you were not satisfied by the football club showed,you were trashed and called moaner 

so,here you go,enjoy

[The Horse's Mouth]

Puel feels like a supply teacher

[CosbehFox]

Pretty much as I expected it to go in all honestly

Nail on head.

This is the frustrating part for me.

[Monsell1976]

To early to say, but seems it’s going to be a frustrating, inconsistent season.

 As long as it’s not like the bad run last season, I’d stick with puel, a lot of new faces bedding in.

 All this said, puel needs to find his best 11 and system, as his tactics and decisions are a bit baffling at times.

 Hate to say it, as vardy has been great for us, but I don’t think he suits puel’s style, where nacho probably does more, or he needs to play them both.

 Going to be a long season, as long as we seem to improve as the season goes on, I’m not feeling the manager change, and starting over yet again at present, but puel and his players have a lot to prove still

I agree. Tbh I think Slimani would have been a better option. Not that I want Vardy to go.
