Popular Post Sol thewall Bamba Posted 18 December 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 18 December 2018 A game away from a two legged semi final which would be something to get the fans up for, and we bench our only chance of winning. If football's not about trying to win trophies, what's the fvcking point? All the investment, new training pitch, ground expansion is pointless without silverware. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope not ... but there is the potential for it to happen. And you know who scoring. But if, whatever team he puts out, plays with some passion, and avoids a heavy defeat, then I’ll be reasonably happy. If we can replicate that when we play them again and nick a point against Chelsea then I’ll be satisfied. Not looking forward to this but I’m going to keep a stiff upper lip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlloverthefloorYesNdidi Posted 18 December 2018 Share Posted 18 December 2018 Lets wind Mahrez up if he plays, get De Bruyne hobbling off as a 'pre-caution', and lets get that Danny Simpons flying up that wing and standing up at that back post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you roll up and watch this crap week in, week out,...…….well, ok, every couple of weeks due to all the breaks,......to see an exciting half of football where we have perhaps 2 shots on target, being generous there but sometimes we do paying good money to watch the new scoreboards because they are more entertaining and that's after having a few drinks down the pub to prepare for the current match day experience 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are people surprised, it's been like this going back decades. This kind of stuff comes from the top of the club, reality is they make more money finishing one place higher up the league then they would for winning the trophy. I don't like it, but that's the reality of it. It's not just us who do this, we've played championship teams who basically played a whole new starting 11 against us.

Sadly this is true. The amount of money brought in from securing a prem position is ridiculous compared to winning a cup. Look at Wigan for example, won the FA Cup but got relegated and spent a few years in decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithuriel Posted 18 December 2018 Share Posted 18 December 2018 My birthday today so might punish myself by going tonight, only know one mate that is, all the others are not bothering, ah, nothing like being miserable on a cold wintry day, least I get it £5 cheaper due to being a season ticket holder so the pain will be less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfcsnow Posted 18 December 2018 Share Posted 18 December 2018 Choudhury hasn't even been playing U23's for whatever reason, apart from 45 minutes a few weeks ago. Surely he's not involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardiola has less players to choose from than Puel at the minute, also had a Champions League match last midweek and he appears to putting out more first team players than we are. If we really don't care about trying to win tonight tell people. Compare Pep's squad management issue with our is like comparing a apple with a pear. There is a reason their squad is competing in the Champions League and ours isn't. 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: But he's extremely erratic with how he does this. I agree that to a certain extent that you have to be careful during busy periods but he rotates for the sake of it and we lose all momentum. It happened the same last year when we were on a good run and we then plummeted during the busy period and it was pointless. Also, he doesn't rotate the likes of Morgan who at 35 and with a few severe injuries over the years is likely to feel the burden but he'll sure rotate his young players like Gray, Ndidi and Maddison for clowns like Diabate and Choudhury. As the Southampton fan who has come to light over his blog on Puel, it's as if every decision is decided off a spreadsheet. It's very peculiar. It's not going to be the end of the world to play our strongest side twice in 4 days, Ranieri managed to do it week in, week out and we didnt get hit with life threatening injuries. I'd agree, I think he get more consistent, there is no surprise that clubs with better squad manage the festive period better. Problem with Morgan is, Evans and Maguire both prefer to be the left side CB, and we have looked very poor when Evans plays on the right of the pair. I can't see why people have a problem with him looking after Vardy, the bloke has been fully fit all season and if we lost him to a long term injury we would be in trouble. I agree with the Ranieri comment but he had a lot of lucky with injuries, I pretty sure Vardy would start 99% of games if fully fit. Also its a lot easier to pick the same side win you are wining every week. As I've said I'm not Puel's biggest fan, but I'm not sure we would be much better under other managers available to us. In really our squad isn't as good as some people think. Edited 18 December 2018 by coolhandfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 18 December 2018 Share Posted 18 December 2018 Well Puel did say he had a plan for Man City Plan is keep it 0-0 for as long as we can and then bring Vardy on. Problem is we'll be losing by 10 minutes. The problem with all this is that the other striking options have all been shit meaning Vardy is our only hope. Forgetting the fact that he's been pretty shit himself all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sets the tone for the team if given the opportunity. Something which Nacho will never do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 18 December 2018 Share Posted 18 December 2018 Based on Chilly and Vardy not making it I'd probable go with Ward Morgan Maguire Soyuncu Ricardo Mendy Iborra Maddison Fuchs Okazaki Iheanacho or Ward Ricardo Soyuncu Maguire Fuchs Iborra Ndidi Maddison Gray Iheanacho Albrighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obvious Vardy is talking shit to him. I think he wants to play him in every game, but his injury is delicate. If a groin goes, he's out for a while. The bigger issue is that the back-ups aren't up to it. We badly need a new striker in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been the same under pretty much every manager for the best part of two decades. I don't mind people taking issue with it, but I hope people don't make this a Puel issue (yeah right).
