It is as good as ours. I don't know why people don't see/acknowledge this. Is it because they're not a "big club" ?

I mean we probably would have picked up at least a point if Morgan wasnt stupid enough to get sent off. 

 

Bournemouth benefit from having patience with the team and manager. They have nearly all played together for years under the same manager. Our team is being rebuilt and we are midtable, so yea let us sack the manager every time we lose see where that gets us.

It will get us relegated eventually. I just can't get my head around people wanting a manager out every year. Stability would be nice.

Agree.. Stability would be nice..... 

But with the right Manager on board. 

Far from convinced Puel is the one unfortunately. 

[Bablemikey]

I think some expectations need to be realigned here.

We are a team in transition. We are still rebuilding a squad/team, we have a large number of young players and players new to the league. We will be inconsistent. We will be frustrating, but we will show times when we look excellent. Do not expect us to be challenging the top 6. Do not expect us to mature this season or maybe even next. Understand that this is a long term project.

This is what happens..when one starts to build ,with a lot of youngsters....Maddison a good example..good moments,and sloppy moments!!!

We are a young team with growing pains,  Fans just can't take the heat,because they just  don't understand .

We have a good squad,but we still have to grow,and will need additions as football demands. Top 10 I am happy so far.

Other teams below top 5 ,competing for middle ground...Bournemouth/Wolves playing good football and presently on top form.

City in comparison to Bournemouth,having to relearn the trade.Wolves bought well and are reaping the benifits.

 

I won't rate city,this season on every single game and result...Vardy is playing well,but not converting good chances.

We have improved,all around the pitch,but lack of awareness and game discipline is letting us down,in midfield and defence.

And not being clinical up front. but these are the growing pains...Puel and the squad are doing well too many fans expectations

are far too high...Ambitions ok...

Nacho has got to get in the game more and use his pace and strength to support Vardy....Vardy has to have that bit more luck,

Chances..his- zone chances,which he took blindly before...are just going the other side of the post,or the chip over the gk to low.

Siggys wonder goal was the difference...

Wes going off...changed the flow,and put us on the backfoot...but even then the big chance fell to Amartey...

2-2 ..we earnt.

Our young team have to learn how to earn,and take the major moments....}}growing pains!!!

To chuck home points away again when Puel had ample opportunity to sub Morgan defies all logic. Surely he knew what a tricky customer Richarlison is and the fact that at times was running our defence ragged? You know football is a very simple made complicated by folk who should know better.

[cropstonfox]

Bournemouth have better players than us and a better manager .We have  the Emperors new clothes syndrome.He has had long enough.

It's the 2nd time we've lost at home, the first against a very good Liverpool team. How is it throwing points away?

 

Why should Puel sub our captain of 270+ appearances off after a booking, Wes has enough experience to know to avoid fouling. 

Some of you really do blame Puel for players mistakes

It matters not a jot how many games our captain has played it was a poor decision not to have subbed him after his first yellow. We know there are so many cheats in the game now all conning at the ref and that's exactly what happened. I know from our point of view it was a soft sending off but it could so easily been avoided.

Spot on. I would probably have still taken Wes off because he was getting done by Richarlison in every duel, but let's not forget Amartey at 23 was also on a booking and dueled with Richarlison without getting himself in trouble. Wes Morgan is 34, has made 715 senior appearances in his career that's seen him lift a premier league title, play in the knockout stages of the champions league and play at the copa America - he's experienced enough that he should know not to be making such an amateurish challenge: the fault is his, not Puels

Putting faith in your captain to realise he needed to be careful after his booking isn't farfetched. He subs off Wes and would get slated for being defensive, leaves him on and gets slated. 

 

Wes made a mistake, don't blame Puel. But as you said, why is no one talking about the play acting and rolling around by them to get Wes booked?

Puel is damned either way. Sub him = "why did we sub Morgan, (x player) is knackered / we needed (x player) on the pitch but the clown Puel subbed Morgan so we couldnt make the sub"

Exactly.

Too many of our fans have decided where they sit on Puel and slate him the minute something goes against us.

[southfox66]

I don't actually blame Puel for this, I think it's the rest of the club I think winning the title we just become too complacent, we never going to achieve it ago, the owner invested heavily in Club before winning the title and why should they continue to do so, the title and champions league gave them a deserved return of some of that investment. I think we just take the view we are still playing premiership football and as long as we stay in division anything else is a bonus. I use think we should be aiming for Europa football but does it do clubs any favours in the league having to compete in Europa. In the future if we get top 10 and beat a few top 6 sides along the way I'll be happy

So you have your opinion and are determined to carry on

 Pecking at Puel...I

Some don't see it that way,because we also in our honest opinions,believe a manager has to trust his experience players...and there was no poor

Descision....Again ..as others have mentioned your bombastic opinion  would have football  needing,3-4 subs more per game!!!!I

 

Just opinions like........

[Babylon]

Did Puel make Vardy miss a sitter? Or make an experienced player get sent off? You can argue all day about subbing players on a yellow, but you can't go doing that every time a player gets a yellow. Sitting there with the benefit of hind sight it's very easy to point out mistakes. 11 v 11 and I fancied us to win it as we were on top at that point.

[Babylon]

Oh and this "not playing new players"  stuff... just because something is new, doesn't make it better. That mentality is laughable.

[Captain...]

When Morgan launched Richarlison off the pitch I thought he was gone, but he  got a reprieve, at that point I was thinking sub him before he gets his marching orders. Then a few minutes later he fouls the same player in the same area of the pitch. Why Morgan is making tackles in that area of the pitch I don't know. It is something Puel needs to look at, the way we play exposes all of Morgan's weaknesses. It is not Puel's fault that Morgan got sent off, he should know better especially after a warning. It is Puel's fault that he persists with a player in a formation that is just not compatible.

 

At the moment I would say it is one step forwards one step back.

[kingcarr21]

We lose a game and all of a sudden its 2 steps back . We are going to lose games, get used to it.

 

11 v 11 there was only going to be 1 winner. Morgan had a brain fart which turned the tide. Even then it took a worldie from Sigurdsson to score. A fabulous goal that you could only applaud and say fair play.

 

Evans (or maybe even Soyuncu) have 2 matches to claim the CB spot for themselves. Morgan struggled against a good player in Richarlison but Wes can still do a job for us.

[Always Next Year]

We won the Prem League, did really well in the Champions League and now everyone expects us to go out and beat the rest of the world.

It just won’t happen, we need to restart at the bottom, let’s go all out for the EFL Cup then the FA Cup and so on but still mentaining out league form.

Lets put some pride back in to the club a Cup is a Cup is a Cup
