Popular Post Nick Posted 26 December 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 26 December 2018 Christ, the smugness is hilarious. I wanted Puel out because his football was turgid shit for 12 months - he comes under pressure and he changes from rigid 4231 and stupid team selections and plays a different style and formation of football and guess what - the football isn't turgid shite and we start beating teams - if the change in football continues he should continue in his job. All these 'smug, I told you so posters' may want to consider why all of a sudden things have changed in the last couple of weeks - it probably wasn't because you lot were chanting 'Puel in' and 'admire us for out transitional patience and our greater understanding of long term big picture football.' 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 26 December 2018 Share Posted 26 December 2018 7th place after 19 games, exactly halfway through the season, though if Watford win we will be in 8th instead. We've got to be happy with that surely? Just a shame we lost on pennos to Man City in the cup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree, the new formation with Hamza works, hopefully he will not revert back and stick with this, was nice to see Albrighton score against the Mancs yet again and was funny when they were showing dissent with their own team.

Popular Post SheppyFox Posted 26 December 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 26 December 2018 It’s enough now, no more negativity toward Puel, he’s proving everyone wrong, honestly some people I know actually wanted us to get hammered today to help their out case, unbelievable. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He changed the formation against two big sides, he’s not changed styles. He’ll still be possiession based. Which I hope continues because I don’t want to see three defensive midfielders against Cardiff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 26 December 2018 Share Posted 26 December 2018 Funny thing about Puel reign is, we'll have a really poor run of games lose a few and struggle to score then suddenly we'll have good run beating a few teams unexpected and then suddenly we have another poor run and we're crap again. One thing I will credit Puel for is, he's dealing with the pressure well I mean this not the first time he's almost faced calls for the sack and then suddenly managed to pull through with a few good wins.

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 26 December 2018 Share Posted 26 December 2018 The thing is the fella is trying to evolve the team in personnel and tactics. This is a slow process and will have its ups and downs. We are on an up this Xmas, but could be on a down in Feb 19. With Claude you need to believe in his long term evolution or he simply seems a dour incomprehensible flawed manager. I think we can all admit the football has generally been shite to watch this season, but I see the long-term (Claude) plan. The amount of youth on the park is his main success. The future is bright. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsell1976 Posted 26 December 2018 Share Posted 26 December 2018 (edited) I had just gone into the puel out at the end of the season camp. The last two results are great, but put them into isolation, the players or some of them and performance’s at times for long periods have been shit. If players can’t up their performances against the big teams, then they shouldn’t be playing, but let’s not carried away, we Leicester and could get hammered on Saturday and the puel hate comes back, but like I say, in isolation good week. I had said puel out at the end of the season, but from him coming here I have said I like what he was trying to do, but got bored, and confused at times by his selections, and subs, and frustrated at his failure to get the players to play with his style and intensity he kept demanding, but still picking them, and not giving others a chance. I have always said puel will not get us relegated, and I had got to the point of where I thought he couldn’t progress us either, hopefully this isn’t a false dawn, and the players are finally accepting puels style and way, and we don’t have to change managers again. Again I’m not getting carried away with two great results, but I am hoping this is the start of something, and we can become consistent.?

I like you mate and ain't gonna argue about football at Xmas but the list of people who've liked your post is a who's who of FoxesTalk negativity. Some people on the list have done nothing but shout negativity from rooftops for nigh on two seasons and it pleases me greatly to think some of them are really clutching tonight to get off on their normal post-game moan. It's not smugness (maybe it is, actually, lol) from me but I feel fully justified in lording it up a bit because I've kept faith in this young team and Puel from the start. I'm no football expert (as many on here think they are) but it's been clear over his tenure that he's working towards something more sustainable for the future. There have been flashes of lovely football over the last 18 months and this team are finally starting to gel and play together. Patience has paid off in the past and patience will pay off again. I've always said that Leicester is unique in its setup. The owners, squad, staff are family here and deserve to be treated as such. It brings success, we've witnessed incredible things because patience and understanding. So it pleases me great to see those things prevailing yet again. Anyway, let's all enjoy a nice glass of red and the win. Let's hope we stick it to Cardiff 5-0 and we can all be smug together.

You can't just change formation and it automatically works otherwise anybody could be a manger. Puels philosophy of looking after the ball and developing patterns of play through repetition is what has contributed to the last 2 results with a tweak in formation being the catalyst. Nobody called for the changes he made yet he made it work. Sometimes you just need to shut up and take your humble pie and trust that he knows what he is doing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 26 December 2018 Share Posted 26 December 2018 Started 4-3-3 and changed to 4-2-3-1 after about half an hour ? Its not not just about the formation - we did well in the old set up second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working this afternoon, talking about the game on the radio, doing post match interviews, you know that kind of thing. Just got home and logged on. Absolutely buzzing with that today, couldn't be happier. Puel deserves credit, no problem. As I've constantly said, if he gets it right and the team is successful we're all bloody delighted. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunyip Posted 26 December 2018 Share Posted 26 December 2018 Great result no doubt about it. But I couldn't help but draw the conclusion that in both games we dumped the slow side to side back passing drawn out build up ( yes Claud's modus operandi ) and switched back to a style of play that suited the players we have. It's no coincidence it's right there before our eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
