Time for Puel to go

[HesNotGudjonsonn2]

I remember, 2015-2016........we need a chap in midfield with the lungs of a tanker.

How many seasons have we had where watching football as entertainment is a priority? 

None.

We are not looking like we are going down. Think about Fergie at United. Let him build even though it is frustrating and boring right now.

I can’t work out If we are debating or agreeing. I’m drunk. Lol

Would anyone mind if I took control of the next premier league game?

I've been a big supporter of our manager, but we are looking like we are gonna struggle, given we looked like we should have been top 6, 3 games ago. We are skating on thin ice.

Whether it was simply competitiveness or whether he thinks his position is under threat. If nothing else, the reaction of Puel last night when the equaliser went in, should dispel any accusations that he doesn't care and is incapable of being animated.

I just wish he'd finally get a team fired up from kick off for once and get them playing on the front foot/confident football (ndidi stops passing back 40yards to morgan when hes 10yards from their penatly box). Thatd be a start. Can work on the quality aspects of the game later ?

Yeah, loved that

How any one can still be on the puel bus amazes me.

 

19/12/2017 Leicester vs Man City League Cup Quater Final - Loose on penalties after putting out a weakened team.

 

Fast forward 12 months almost to the day, 2 pathetic transfer windows.

 

18/12/2018 Leicester vs Man City League Cup Quater Final - Loose on penalties after putting out a weakened team.

 

12 months is a long time, exactly what progress have we made under this fraud.

If you're capable of actually watching the football you will see that despite the result we played much better in this fixture this year than last year

It wasnt that weaker though. Our strongest 11 have lost or drawn to shittier teams this year.

Didn't play that badly last night but unfortunately it was the same old story. We just seem to fall short whatever the opposition these days.

May I just say that most managers are fu*ked before they start. They have a very short chance with any team. We are short of options, short of a profile good enough to attract a better manger, and short on better fans that can support what we've already got. 

 

"disillusion Leicester we always sing that".  

If you think he's doing a good job then I'm afraid it's you who are deluded. Don't blame the fans for recognising a very poor manager. We can all see that, nothing delusional about that.

[OriginalRobboFOX]

I genuinely nearly turned the car around last night when I heard the team. To the 22k odd city fans last night that was a huge kick in the teeth. We snuck a 1-1 from a game we should have been battered in if Man City had shown up. With Albrighton, Madders, Ricardo, and Mendy in that team we win the game. The 1-1 has papered cracks temporarily but Puel has to go and he needs to take Gazza with him....

He might be really good and until we are in a position where we look like we may go down then I support him. We all accepted Ranieri’s sacking because it was clear where it was heading and let’s be fair he achieved the unexpected and incredible. I want to say give Puel a couple more seasons and he will create something. I may be wrong but what have we got to lose?

A fanbase?

Absolute rubbish. 

[Finnegan]

I think people like the idea of what Puel represents so much that they've lost sight of the fact there are other managers out there who could do it. 

 

People forgive his flaws because he's building something, because he needs time, because he's picking young players, because he's trying to change the style, because we want stability, because we're fed up of sacking managers. 

 

All of that is fair. As I just said in the post match thread, I'm perfectly happy to give a manager time to build, I can tolerate disappointing results, mid table finishes, players making mistakes while they adapt to change. We lose a game because Simpson or Soyuncu give away a goal trying to play passing football? No worries, it's a learning curve. 

 

Short term pain for long term game? I'm willing. 

 

But I'm not so willing that I can't see the warning signs of just simply a bad manager. I'm not angry because we lost games to mistakes, young players messing up or the squad not being deep enough. I'm angry because we're losing games to catastrophically bad tactical decisions. 

 

I'm not angry because he's trying to take away our counter attacking style, I'm angry because he's trying to replace it with nothing. We don't play nice passing football, we're not even slowly developing in to it, we play conservative, "safe" football without committing anything forward. It's not a possession game, it's a defensive game. He's Mourinho Jnr. 

 

He doesn't learn from his mistakes, he's offering no consistency in selection, he changes things every game, the players don't look bothered to be playing for him. But most importantly of all, it's been a year and we're no better at all. 

 

Do we really think that no other manager in the world can play passing football and play young players? Are we that unimaginative? 

 

I hope not. 

[Fox85]

Actually had a feeling I was gonna wake up today and CP would of been sacked.

Oh well maybe after the Chelsea game.

It's going to be another boring Saturday.

[oxtonfox]

This so called style of play does not suit us because we are NOT GOOD enough to play it. why has Puel taken all this calendar year to find out? 

We have a chance of being best of rest (possible 8th) if we play a faster counterattacking style with midfielders who can PASS accurately over 20 yards! 

Sorry Claude your time is up.

What style are we good enough to play?

442 works well for us plus it's the only formation our strikers can play effectively. So playing a formations without the correct players when had multiple transfer windows to get it right is just poor management

It's not that no other manager is capable of doing it, it's whether we trust the board to get it right and bring them in. While they've done a lot of good, I still have reservations on their managerial appointment method - if we include Sousa then it's just big name as a player (Sousa), out of work big name (Sven), former manager (Pearson), guy who applied with a long reputation (Ranieri), assistant manager (Shakespeare), guy who applied who was already around the division (Puel). To me it seems like they're not actively looking at alternatives and prepared to headhunt but relying on a good candidate applying. But, the applicants will be the same old chaff - Hughes, Pardew, Moyes etc. People on here mention left field choices that could potentially be very good: Gallardo, Nagelsmann, Jardim - but they're left field because the only way they'll happen is if they apply for the job and really impress at interview
