Smahsed 'em. They should never have scored and we could have had 6. 

 

Happy days. 

They were very poor and we made heavy weather of it for an hour.

We could have played any formation and still  won

 

 

But a wins a win and it was dcomfortable in the ed

Ndidi did tremendously today (6 tackles, several of them were really key). Mendy was the weak link. 

He really wasn't.

Disappointed we won...cos’ that’s what people wanna hear ain’t it... 

 

(For the record if the  reactions to this post are due to the above comment, I was being sarcastic due to comments thoughout the week...Does that shit really need explaining?! If the reactions aren’t to that comment answers on a postcard please. @KingsX @baldeagle)

 

Seriously though, we won, great, but for 70% (roughly, guessing) I was bored to tears, arm propping head up. Sideways, sideways.

 

For the rest of the game it was actually quite good, forward, direct passes, counter attacking (and I accept you have to be patient in the build up and wait for opportunities to counter attack), attacking period.

 

On the counter attacking point, did anyone notice Puel when we scored the first goal? He fucking hated it. Seriously.

 

I don’t think I’m the only one who noticed him in one of the games (can’t remember which one) towards last season when we seemed to revert to the “old” style and we looked good, really good and Puel looked so disinterested, looking at the ground, kicking air, arms on hips, proper depressed I actually claimed he looked like he knew his future and it was a dead man walking type demeanour. It was the same today regards the first goal, he fucking hated it.

Yeah I bet he really hated seeing us score. Impressive that you can even turn us scoring a goal against him, takes some doing.

Was a bit confused when I saw the team, but made a lot of sense when it got going.

Thought we passed the ball around nicely, kept it well minus a handful of loose passed. 

Defence still looked suspect at times but overall not too bad. 

Was nice to see us play with a bit of pace and intensity during parts of the game. 

 

Overall a good win!

My reaction had nothing to do with the first sentence of your post.  There's enough on here who truly WOULD be happy we lost, I don't have the energy to react.  (As much as it sticks in my craw.)

 

It was purely WTF? to you asserting at such length that Puel "****ing hated it" when we scored.

 

City goals are the lifeblood of his job and reputation.  And I can assure you, he wants to win, even if a small element of the support do not.  Puel is seldom demonstrative, but I have no doubt about where his heart lies.  Ease up a little mate, you are seeing things that aren't there.

Decent result. Hard to guage too much from that as they look destined for relegation but good to see us play 2 up top. Lots of positives considering the age of the squad and losing Mahrez in the summer. Maddison was class again really can see him being an England regular if he keeps on going as he is. Mendy is like a new signing he's been very impressive so far. Madders and Kelechi scoring was great to see. Albrighton and Okazaki both bring so much energy great options to have available to bring on when the opposition is tiring. And got to see Shinjis smile, good day at the office.

Mendy didn't push forward at all - seemed to me to be playing the same role as Ndidi which doesn't make a lot of sense considering the opponent.  I thought he was OK save for a couple of giveaways.

No more Ricardo at right back. He's a good winger, but he sucks as a right back. Amartey was immense in his role, even if he doesn't offer much up front.

Just think he's need to understand the quality in the PL is higher.

She seemed to bring us Luck today are we bringing her out of the darkness ?

I still think Puel's starting team and tactics were wrong, hence the poor first half and yet another slow start.

 

It does nothing to ease many of my fears over the manager but it was satisfying to see us win and move up to 8th. It's a good starting base to kick on from.

 

Thought Maddison was immense yet again and Iheanacho had some great moments. His overall play is erratic, but you can't argue with a good goal and a great assist.

We all know that you're not fond of Puel and you have some justified reasons for that, but this is absolute bullcrap. It really takes the cake.

I know mate  That was kind of the joke to be honest.

 

I'm not ashamed. Not sure where the 'Polish' bit came from though.

Overall, a good performance. Need to stop giving away sloppy goals.

I thought Mendy was very good again today. Having a great start to the season so far. Always amazes me how different people can view the same game completely opposite.

A game we should win and did win. Still not convinced with us overall somehow. This team is really confusing me atm

A young team transitioning the type of football they play and a club undergoing a big rotation in players...

 

I’d say expect a highly inconsistent and often frustrating team that show glimpses of both great and shocking play in almost equal order. I expect a few more Bournemouth style performances this season but also one or two where we look fantastic. And I think that is ok for this season as our younger players develop. If we still play like this next season then I think it will be time to get worried. 

 

I think so far the season is probably going about as expected for us. 

[Bob Hazels shorts]

Can't ague with the score.

 

The three goals were not a result of the umpteen side and back passes around the halfway line for much of the game. They were scored despite these tactics.

 

I don't share the level of excitement that I'm reading.

 

The players are better than this performance against a very poor side.

Maddison, Iheanacho superb

Ndidi, Vardy, Chilwell, Maguire good

Surprisingly strong shift by Amartey - defensively much better than Ricardo and his recovery rate was immense.

Gray the best I've seen him play, but still no end product.

 

This may not be a popular opinion but Mendy was terrible IMHO. He can't read the game, lost several balls in key areas, barely ever wins the ball. poor passer. Don't see the point.

I’d say you were watching a completely different game.

[Tielemans63]

I didn't see today's game but from what I can understand, Ndidi and Mendy were both absolutely brilliant and utterly terrible. I also get the impression that Ndidi was far better today than Mendy but Mendy's performance was a lot better than Ndidi's.

 

Right.

[UniFox21]

Just because we play possession based football, it doesn't mean we can't  counter attack. Yes the open play goals were both from the counter, but that's as Huddersfield parked all 11 behind the ball and squashed the middle, making passing through them difficult. We did manage to do it on a few occasions though. 

We looked comfortable and played well. The front 4 looked a lot better with Gray adding directness and width to the RHS 

 

 

Did chuckle at Stringer' s commentary of Maddison's free-kick being top corner, was poor keeping in all honesty rather than corner placement

This takes the cake in terms of unreasonable Puel bashing. Some of the criticisms of him I can understand to a point but claiming he hated it when we scored is just wow....

Nothing to do with the top comment I knew that was sarcasm . 

Its the in depth totally twaddle about Puel hating us scoring a counter attack goal . 

[lgfualol]

Puel 1 - 0 Foxestalk "puel lost the plot what the **** is that team" experts. 

 

Great win. Sloppy goal but apart from that we ran the show. Maddison, Vardy and Iheanacho worked great together. Only negative for me is I found Ndidi very frustrating.

 

Transferred Maddison in on fpl and it is points galore.
