All I see here is could haves and should haves as a defence for a really shit manager.

 

Cant motivate and tactically inept.

He says after Puel's mid-game changes win Leicester a point...

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Can't believe how fickle these threads can be.

 

Prior to the game there was doom and gloom about our injury situation and some saying we were destined to lose.

 

Then when we have to field a depleted team but get a draw, Puel gets panned. 

 

Truth is, he doesn't insist that Ndidi passes like Stevie Wonder, or make Schmeichel's favourite goal kick target the touchline, or has drained Iheanacho of any confidence and ability so much so that he couldn't score in a brothel. 

 

Players have to take responsibility too.

 

I'll take the point tonight.

Reading these threads suck the life out of me. Jeez 

You're not wrong.

 

After the tragedy, I was so proud of the response from fans on this forum and I thought to myself, we're not a bad bunch.

 

Now I'm beginning to think we're all bellends again.

 

It was not a bad result away from home under the circumstances but a poor performance and the outers are back, this time with a depressing line in smug and hollow sarcasm.

 

Last week the in crowd were in the ascendancy and next week... well, just depends on the result.  Repeat ad nausea.

 

Such a ****ing depressing read.  Some of those criticising the lifeless performance in the pitch might have a look at their own dismal performance off it.

 

[Guest MattP]

Pretty poor, decent point under the circumstances. Without Vardy we always seem to struggle.

 

Maddison developing really well and I love an Okazaki cameo. Diabate and Simpson over Gray and Ricardo bizarre. 

 

Iheanacho should be offloaded he we get decent money now, N'Didi needs dropping as well, so many poor games this season and his passing is laughable.

He has to make these mid game changes to counter act the choices he made at the start of the game.

Is it worth giving Silva another go? We have a serious problem that none of our midfielders are able to pass. I know Silva has been disappointing but might be worth a go. Frustrating game but happy that we are tough to beat

You have a point here. He can pass and I don’t know what he’s done not to get on the bench. I suspect Puels told him to find a club in January which is a shame cos the lad lost 3 months with that transfer 14sec farce.

The commentator said on my stream it’s the first time Fulham have scored against us in the premier league. We’ve played them 5 times in total, won 2, drew 3.

No - that's the first time we have scored against them in the premier league.

We have lost to Liverpool, United,Everton, Arsenal and Bournemouth. We are 9th for a reason, we haven’t beaten anyone above us, nor lost to anyone below us.....as old Billy Davis said It is what it is......

[Anglodanglo]

Ninth in Premier League.

Arguably our best ever squad.

Two defeats in ten despite not playing well.

Cup quarter final.

 

By no means is everything rosey, theres plenty to pick at.

I'll take a slow moving train headed in the right direction, over a fast one off a cliff any day

 

For now at least i'm with you Claude. You boring dull non Holloway circus ranting fool you.

Someone like... oh, let me see...

 

Mahrez?

But seriously, Mahrez and Maddison behind Vardy would've been a killer.

I agree and thought we might knick a one goal win. Any away points are decent points but for me the main disappointing thing was how we played well enough in the first half and just completely lost control in the second half. If we'd have maintained our first half level then I'd have been much more satisfied and we might even have won it. 

Yep, can't argue with that. I think we also had a good 10 minutes or so after we scored. Could've gone our way there.

Keep these coming, I am hanging on every smug, not quite as clever as it thinks word. Thought you would get bored after one or two but, whilst the quality is poor, I admire your output. 

[RowlattsFox]

Sometimes I look at our squad and think we should be challenging top 6 then sometimes I think Puel is performing a miracle keeping us in the top half.

That's the underlying concept of substitutions, yes.

Puel in.

 

Anybody who criticises football of that quality, pace, depth, fluidity and flare is simply not a man.

When does the transfer window open Puel

I know, its kinda weird, certainly something that Mulder and Scully would have looked into.

Wheres puel got that black eye from eh

Ndidi probably misplaced a pass in training and it hit Claude in the face.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

I think the Maguire factor is massive. When he plays everyone pushes 20/30 yards further up and closer to each other. Might negate Vardy's strengths a bit, but definitely enabled us to string more than two passes together. 

 

Currently were do disjointed and poor in possession. Mendy can pass it simple, but is no Scott Parker/Draper or DD on song.

Unbeatable. We are unbeaten in 6 and in the top half. What will the reaction be if we loose? After everything the players have gone through already this season  and fans saying a few weeks ago they will get a free pass for the rest of the season because of what they have had to face off the pitch our fans are a disgrace to be reacting like this. Such short term memories. It's been an amazing time to be a Leicester city fan over the last few years but some posters here are just sad.Sine should be ashamed to call themselves city fans. In my day you support your club through thick and thin and we have not had many things times in the last few years. Get a grip or piss off and SUPPORT another club. 

So just because we support the club we aren’t allowed to be frustrated as well as being honest about a performance and be happy with everything just simply because we are supporters?

Disagree. That includes Mahrez, Kante, Drinkwater and Huth.

 

The main team is decent, the squad disjointed.

But he can’t be praised for a tactical masterclass when he’s rectifying his own bizarre selections. 

[Beechey]

Vardy being out was our major miss tonight. I thought Kelechi could possibly be his replacement (and to be fair, he has a couple of years yet), but I'm doubting it now. I think he'd had scored the first chance or won a penalty, as he so often does in those situations. Kelechi under so circumstances should play on the shoulder as he did tonight, he needs to drop deeper.
