Smudge Posted 20 September 2018 Posted 20 September 2018 7 hours ago, Ric Flair said: Good to see Puel shouldering the blame for Saturday's horror show, like he's said in the press. He's now making them train twice as much to rectify the mistakes he is making, when the solution could be to tweak the system that best suits this squad. The man is as stubborn as they come. That said, the removal of the player power culture at our club is imperitive for him or the next man to succeed. I agree but if he plays the same formation with only Morgan being replaced, I will be convinced he's lost the plot. His stubbornness will be his undoing.

l444ry Posted 20 September 2018 Posted 20 September 2018 Puel is on a hiding to nothing with Huddersfield. Everyone expects and demands a win. Three points will buy him time one way or another but very little else. Anything less and it'll surely be the beginning of the end for him. This is arguably the easiest game we could have wished for and If we do slip up then we are even more of a bad place than many already think we are. Will be an interesting afternoon. 1
Hanan96 Posted 20 September 2018 Posted 20 September 2018 I hope he did ask mendy or iborra, whoever played beside ndidi, to drop deeper in offensive scheme so there's adequate cover for bombing fullback
sishades Posted 20 September 2018 Posted 20 September 2018 The lowest number of goals scored, the highest conceded, no wins and just 2 points. Feels like Palace at home from last seaon...can only see a 0-9 scoreline. 1

I wonder if he will give wilf and demarai weekend off ?

This is some fans trying to use virtual pressure.....There is no all of nothing,against Huddersfield... Just fans demanding something of their own creation.....just relax and enjoy the day. And not hiding behind the sofa tactics.....Some city fans have concentrated so much looking for a boo man,they forgot how to Watch a simple football match.....poor souls... 3

Dr The Singh Posted 20 September 2018 Posted 20 September 2018 Can't see us losing this one, udders will play for a draw and that's the result it will be
l444ry Posted 20 September 2018 Posted 20 September 2018 Sky Sports reported as saying Puel is considering resting Harry Maguire tomorrow. "Harry has played a lot of games, but I will analyse it," said Puel ahead of his side's home game against Huddersfield on Saturday. The man is clearly losing the plot if true.

Maguire was awful at the weekend. I’m a huge fan of his but he does have a tendency to switch off at times and was lucky to still be on the pitch at the weekend. You can definitely make a case for being dropped but with Wes out I think that’s a step too far.
Wymsey Posted 20 September 2018 Posted 20 September 2018 Have a feeling it'll be the biggest win for seasons. The team will be hugely disappointed and will be aggressive in their approach and trying to change things.
