Give the guy a chance to settle FFS. I've read their forum many times and aside from a few sensible posters, every single player gets a roasting every time they lose just like some here fall on Puels back. They have some boo boys (Gundogan, Delph, Sterling) Mahrez being the last of them. Aside from that nice to see that much of schadenfreude about one of our best players ever and how many enjoy him having a bad spell. Bitter idiots are bitter. For the record he scored and assisted much more than any of our forwards while having less game time. He came on for 9 mins with them and trailing and one man less by the way. Bar Sané to an extent, their whole team has been abysmal with special mention to Sterling. They don't tick without Fernandinho and I don't think they'll go very far in CL.
That_Dude Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 Great win. We did exactly what Lyon and Chelsea did, packed the midfield and forced them to play wide. A great combination of patience and discipline rewarded by two world class goals. Albrighton, Choudhury and Ricardo were outstanding and special mention to our back four. Hats off to Puel and the players, I couldn't have wished for a better Christmas present.

Heaven forbid that our forum ever gets so whiney
Ric Flair Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 Would absolutely love to get Mahrez back next season in a cut price £30m deal.

Drop Madders or Albrighton? Would Pereira still be able to get forward? Feel that it would cause new problems..

Brooksy Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 Their bluemoon forum post match thread makes for some great reading.
Md9 Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 Just seen the highlights. Looked good had players attacking instead of just having vardy all alone hopefully more of the same against Cardiff. Shame the cup game was before the Chelsea game and not next week as I reckon it would be us in the last 4. Nice unbeaten run until the end of the season to get us into 5th place ?

As much as I enjoyed watching him, he showed us how he viewed club didn't he? I have zero respect for a footballer refusing to play in order to get his own way. And this is gutting because he was my absolute hero. No way, let him tank there for a bit and he'll end up back in France at PSG or some such.

We've shown (twice) he's left a club more than capable than beating his new club. If he were to come back humbled I'd welcome him and tell him to work for his place. Academic though but there's no way it'd happen.

Baring in mind we've been told Mahrez cannot be replaced, if he were to become available for half what we paid him then we'd be morons to take the moral high ground and not bring him back. Obviously all is subjective to him wanting to come back but his actions can be forgiven simply because he's a genius. Hyprocicy at its finest but we as football fans are constantly irrational.
Guest Col city fan Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 I genuinely wouldn’t want him back here now. He’s a terrific player but burnt his bridges. If he misses us, then so be it. I’m a bit old school in this respect and prefer players who want to be here and play for us.
winteriscoming Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 Have to give credit to puel got it spot on tactically. Also his subs were right aswell. Although at the time I did question them. I do agree that against cardiff he will have to have more creativity in midfield. However not sure where that's going to come from. Clearly he isn't keen on silva or Iborra.

I still have a soft spot for Riyad but we have genuinely replaced him with a combination of Madders and Ricardo. Also he's on about 200k pw now.

Of course, you make a good point. But don't the Thais supposedly hold honour in high regard? It seems anathema to what we are looking to create to invite the bloke back. Agreed about the football part. He is, of course, a genius.

We still need the right resources to unpick teams that park the bus.
Buce Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 5 hours ago, Cardiff_Fox said: Interesting one because the lose in the week made it very sweet yesterday. Man City fans have morphed into their city rivals - arrogant and expectant. So putting their title challenge on life support is simply excellent. On paper, I’d say that result is probably our finest since we come back up. Their team fielded was ridiculously full of quality. No, winning at their place in the title season trumps it for me. That was the game everybody started to believe.

Man City’s team that day included three players close to retirement. Their attacking power of their team yesterday was far stronger
