The irony of you saying my post is complete nonsense when everything you post on here is nonsense! 

 

But yeh you keep thinking we should keep sacking managers! Who next, Benitez? Yeh hes doing a great job! And if we did sack Puel now and the new manager lost a few you'd be asking for them to be sacked by christmas! God im glad we don't have people like you running our club! 

Unfortunately, they're running the country instead

Did anyone see Merson’s comments? He was disappointed in Newcastle for not turning up as we’re not a good side........

He was being quite harsh. I’d say we’re more like a bag of Revels than a poor side.

I'm convinced it will be 33.3  % each way WLD come season end under Puel.

Funny that cos 33.3% gives you say 52 points which would based on the last two season would see us 8th. Not a bad season really 

[BenTheFox]

Do think Ben Chilwell has matured so much defensively. He clearly has the right attitude to be a success too. His final ball could do with a bit of work, but he's undoubtedly made progress.

This "puel out brigade" you speak of is actually a lot more consistent than you give credit. I've said it like you last season will continue to say it until the day he's gone. Why? Because I'm not daft enough to "say everything is ok" just because the only sides we have beaten this far are absolutely horseshit. That clearly impressed you so fair enough you've changed your mind and backed him just "because the owners have". Congratulations. Perhaps they will send you a gold star.

 

We won yesterday that's great, 3 points. I'm happy when we win. I'm loyal to the club not to puel. I don't think he's taking us anywhere it's just my honest opinion mate. Lay off with this telling people what opinions to express, you know the majority of those backing him now will turn when we lose the next game, its how tickle people are.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion because mostly, they base it on a set of reasons they have mulled over and believe to be true. Whilst I'm definetly in the 'Puel in' camp I can see the reasoning behind some of the 'Puel' out camp who give proper reasoned arguments and whether I agree or not doesn't matter. The only one's I have a problem with are those who wanted him out before he even got here based on his history at one club and not his career as a whole. Mourhino for example has won the lot yet appears to be making a pigs ear of it at Man United this year, is he now a very poor manager or does he not fit that particular club and their various expectations including style of play? To those particular supporters any success by Puel would be a hassle as it has the potential to dent their online ego's. I can't see a viable available alternative to him in any case and there are those I feel would get great pleasure out of being pessimistic about anyone new coming in also, after all, it's the easiest way to be because whatever manager you pick, he's going to have a shelf life like all mansgers at any club thus giving the pessimist a happy conclusion to his 'I told you so' argument. So we've beat the so evaluated 'shit' clubs put before us, but isn't it the teams that fail to do so that get relegated?  The teams we lost to are largely the one's that we'd reasonably expect to lose to on form and stature with perhaps the exception of Bournemouth, but why with a team of young players should we 'expect' to beat them. Some days you just don't perform full stop. We're 7th with some better teams above us, not bad for us at 5his stage I think.

Mate no one is backing him blindly or flip flopping.  You seem to misunderstand what a lot of people are trying to say when they pull you up.  Most people are just saying they believe that you are being too harsh on him.  We are currently 7th, where do you think we should be and what position would be Ok for you.  If we were 6th would you still want him out?  5th?  4th?  You are entitled to your opinions of course but you need to back them up with actual facts and statistics and reasoned arguments.  Lots of people on here criticise Puel and if they do it constructively I would never shoot them down but you just post non stop, incessant negativity to the point of tedium and then if someone challenges you, you get defensive or accuse them of being too positive.  I believe you see yourself as some kind of "realist" but I think you probably come across differently to how you think.  I don't get angry or hurt when I read your comments I simply roll my eyes and have a sense of what I can only describe as mild pity and confusion.

 

Also, regarding the line "I'm convinced it will be 33.3  % each way WLD come season end under Puel." What evidence leads you to believe that?  So far this season we have not drawn at all?

I don't think Mendy had the chance to be classed as improved he was never shit he played like one game for us..

 

On the other hand Chilwell cost us quite a few goals last season and has improved a lot since and will only get better

I felt bad after writing this line as I am not actually a bad wee guy so I just looked at your recent posts to make sure I wasn't being too harsh.  What I saw looked like the ramblings of Mr Bitter-Bitterson from Bitterson Lane.  If anything I was too kind.  X

The only part of that nonsense I agree with is if we now go on to lose the next three, the tide will turn straight back again

What makes me laugh is the amount of people saying we've only beaten shit teams and that we should be beating them anyway.

 

Yet if we play the very top teams and we lose to them, they have a massive meltdown if anyone suggests those results are to be expected.

Couldn't follow the match, as we were at a motor show in Dublin, and then She who must be obeyed decided we had to go shopping at Liffey Valley.  So was listening in the car, leaving Dublin and driving west, and you know you're a City fan, as your heart starts beating faster, waiting for the result, which you know could have gone t*ts up or brilliantly.    Eventually they went to St James Park...I'm not sure it's legal to take your hands off the wheel at 120 kph, go red in the face, fist pump, and slap your wife on the leg.    Anyway, a satisfactory end to the day!

I  quite agree we have never beaten Bournemouth in thePremier I  believe and if we  couldnt beat them when winning the league  and they now have a better side  why should we be expected to win. Unlucky to play  United first game  as very poor now  and somewhat unlucky against Liverpool  so  critisism  seems harsh or is it nothing satisfies

You have summed up very succinctly a point I have long held but not expressed as clearly.  X

[fazzyfox]

Watching the highlights there was a great through ball on the half-volley, almost half the length of the pitch (I don't mean the shot) from Shelvey, he really is too good to be playing there. I don't know if he would fit in to our side but as an intelligent passer, and if his maturing means less rush of blood moments, he could do a good job and offer something different, perhaps as an upgrade on Silva. As for the World Cup, attitude or not, it was painful to watch Dier come on and treat the ball like a hot potato whilst we knew Shelvey was left at home.

It's more to do with the performances. Maybe we deserved something from Man U but then again most teams have got something from Man U this season. We flattered to deceive against Liverpool barely creating any decent chances, I know you'll find some stat that says we had X amount of shots but how many saves did their keeper make? Bournemouth was  shit and anybody pretending otherwise is just a fanatic.

 

I can't remember any of the goals we've scored that have come from this slow build up open play. It's been set pieces and old fashioned Leicester style counter attacks. The tactics aren't great, we're just lucky to have some very decent players.

- Alisson made 4 saves. (2 more than Schmeichel).

- You can't say  "I say something totally biased and anybody saying otherwise is just a fanatic". That's what fanatics do.
(It's aggravating when stuff like "I don't care about your objective facts and statistics" is also there.)

We weren't shit at Bournemouth, we were away and we had more possession, more passes completed, more shots and more shots on target, more duels won, more tackles won than them.
We just didn't have end product.
Don't tell me that's what counts, that's not my point, I'm just saying we were far from being shit.
D'you know what shit is ? Look at Newcastle yesterday.

The fact you consider "we were shit" is an absolute truth that can't be discussed just show how deeply and ridiculously biased you are.

- Who cares if we scored or not on build-up play ? Build-up play is useful to keep the ball (so the other team doesn't have it and can't score, I know it's a difficult concept to understand) and to get set-pieces.

There are saves and then there's plucking the ball out of the air.I can only remember 1 save worthy of the name. Schmeichel also conceded 2 goals, Alison wouldn't have if he had just cleared the ball like he had plenty of time to do.

 

If you don't think being 3-0 down at half time is shit then you have a very optimistic outlook on life. 

 

We're constantly being told how Puel is changing our style of play for the better but it isn't his changes that are winning us games. The slow build up possession game isn't effective at all.
