The chorus from La Marseillaise would fit perfectly....

 

Puel, Puel, Puel, Claude Puel

Puel, Claude Puel.

I'm gonna bump this up because it's the best suggestion :P

 

So easy that even we can sing it (I don't care that ManU sung it for Cantona).

****s sake kitch

If he inspires the players then God sakes I don't care if he inspires the fans 

 

Before you start I do thihk he inspires the players but some don't have the quality to provide that quality in he final third

And who’s fault is that?  re: your last sentence.

 

He’s playing a tactical game which employs Chilwell on one side who’s final ball is shit as one of the most forward attacking players and a n other (who again are not the best) on the other side.

From of these positions high balls are crossed into the box where we have a short striker who can’t make the most of them.

At the same time by definition we are starving one of the leagues top strikers the type of service he needs. 

 

One of the two basics of winning games is scoring goals and therefore the team and tactics need to be moulded to fit the guy who is going to do that for you. Puel is doing the total opposite - that’s poor management.

 

So far as I can see Puel has been very fortunate in his tenure here. Should have been sacked at the end of last season after four months of appalling football and results. Only Vardy’s unbelievable conversion rate saved him then; a feat that realistically we shouldn’t expect to be repeated, and it hasn’t.

 

Two transfer windows, his players, too much sideways passing; it remains very boring;own goals and deflections getting us points and wins left right and centre. Opposition players getting sent of when they are in total command of a game (West Ham) the list goes on. 

 

He is not very good in my opinion; given what he has to work with, the style of play which I must add includes the use of two defensive midfielders come what may.

 

The above I suspect is why the fans can’t get on board - there is not enough excitement or passion.

Leicester win: Because of the players.

 

Leicester Lose: Managers fault.

 

Leicester won a tightly contested game: We didn’t deserve to win and the manager is on thin ice.

 

Leicester Lose a tightly contested game: We are complete crap and the manager hasn’t got a clue.

 

Vardy scores: He’s amazing.

Vardy doesn’t score: The manager is stifling him.

 

 

Just embarrassing really. I sometimes question whether these guys actually support lcfc.

Funny, because even with Vardy being shit this season, we have decent results and are only 3 points from 6th.

Yes that’s how it works ?

 

The players are employed to play, the manager picks the team and is responsible for who plays, how they play and the results. I don’t see how you can argue with that.

 

A good manager makes the team better than the sum of its parts. I don’t think he is doing that at all. 

 

Today another example. Yes Maddison has been a ****, but how ill disciplined is this team this season.

 

Its all the responsibility of the manager plain and simple.

 

Get off your high horse with this holier than thou attitude; you seem to think that everyone should be Ra Ra Claude regardless of what is going on. Some of us see things as they are, without ‘Claude tinted specs’

We are so, so lucky to have a fantastic manager like Puel who has developed us as a team over this last year! We have pulled off mighty results such as this 1-1 draw against Brighton with ten men, a scintillating display of football against West Ham with a fantastic last minute goal to claim the draw, and a massive result against Southampton earlier in the season. I don't know how anyone can claim to be on the "Puel Out" bandwagon? He's re-invigorated this team and we look fantastic week in/week out. I'm so thankful that I can watch this every week!

Define irony - a bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash.

Hang on...

 

So it is CP’s fault that Maddison thought it was a good idea to dive 2 mins after getting a yellow? 

 

It’s CP’s fault that Wes Morgan (an experienced professional footballer) can’t judge when he is / isn’t going to win the ball?

 

‘The players are employed to play...and the manager is responsible for how they play’ - yes, as a team. He isn’t responsible for every action they take.

You’ve clearly not understood my post.

 

The manager is responsible for what the players do.

 

As I wrote; Maddison has been a **** and dived. Nevertheless as the manager Puel is responsible for the deeds and performances of the players, whether it be Morgan, Maddison or whoever. 

 

If that’s a concept you don’t understand or dont believe that happens in the real world, then I don’t really know what more I can do to enlighten you.
