I mean for me it's like waving off those points he's so hardly won against Man City. 1 up at home vs Cardiff.... Gutless That's my point. He has more lives than a cat. His tactics today were shocking. Garuntee it will be the same puel bullshit performances till februray where he's on the brink and we will go and beat man utd and all will be forgiven. Wins against City and Chelsea regardless we are going no where under this idiot. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rorab Posted 29 December 2018 Share Posted 29 December 2018 5 minutes ago, Langston said: However you could argue it was his fault we started with the most contained and uninspiring central midfield pair in the Premier League (as a midfield two, they're wretched), made no brave, attacking changes, and continue to struggle against sides like this at home. People will moan about folk booing at the end (and I'd never boo, achieves nothing) but people have the right to vent their frustration. The past two results have been above and beyond expectations but they're the exception rather than the rule – he'd buy more time if we turned a half decent shift in every now and then but we simply don't. I agree with you here, but I think it just really highlights our lack of quality in CM. Silva and Iborra just haven't worked, so we only really have 3 of them and they're all more defensive than creative. He has to buy someone in January or magically rejuvenate one of Iborra/Silva. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nettle Posted 29 December 2018 Share Posted 29 December 2018 (edited) Typical Leicester performance against crap sides, Puel obviously can't motivate the players against these sides he's definitely got to go he's not good enough tactically.

splinterdream Posted 29 December 2018 Share Posted 29 December 2018 I don't like to single out a player but it's Gray for me, in side set up to be reliant attacking midfielders contribution Gray did very little, I only remember 1 decent cross from him, looked far more effective with ghezzal, really should have played with 2 strikers and why didn't nacho take the peno?

jayfox26 Posted 29 December 2018 Share Posted 29 December 2018 Im still on the fence with Puel as he has made some good signings and is trying to change our style etc but results like this do not endear the fans to him. Its not just the result, its the absolute horror show of a performance against a very poor side, yet again. If he continues to fail to find ways of beating the worst teams in the league then hes not going to last long. As amazing as the 2 wins against Chelsea and City were, its unusual to get points off these teams and we cannot rely on it consistently to get the points we need to get top 7. Ultimatley, to be the best of the rest, you have got to beat the rest at home. Not only was it a poor result but it was very frustrating and disappointing performance. Although the previous 2 results and performances were excellent, i dont think it makes up for the trash we have seen against fulham, palace and today. I would even add the west ham home game in there as well. I know Puel doesnt have the options he would like to have, especially in attack, but these players should be more than capable of beating Cardiff. Our league position is fine but we are so frustrating to watch this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not motivating players, getting shit results against the worse teams in the division, playing with no attacking intensity or entertainment value for the fans would be up there for me. None of which this guy is capable of addressing. Additionallly we have big squad which he has had a hand in, in terms of two transfer windows; squad rotation should be utilised to aid with the right back and Vardy situations for me.

Kopfkino Posted 29 December 2018 Share Posted 29 December 2018 I'm not having this bollocks about same team we win, we would have been equally inept. Tbf they did look right off the pace second half, probably needed mixing up a bit more if anything. Cardiff got what they deserved. Maddison's let us down there too, piss poor penalty but such a soft penalty to get in the first place. However, that game encapsulates everything that's wrong with Puel bar two seemingly anomalous games (1.5 really - first half Chelsea was the same) No urgency to any of our play, nobody moving into the space, instead preferring a simple five yard pass, unable to play quickly, too many touches, too slow, too often coming short for the sole purpose of completing an extra pass (Albrighton so guilty of this first half), very little meaningful pattern to our play, so often just working outside to throw it into the box to nobody (Vardy has no chance up against the likes of Morrison and Bamba), playing two holding midfielders without a creative bone in their body, unable to get on the half turn and push forward. And all of it was so perfectly demonstrated by Mendy first half - it should come as no surprise of course that he's seemingly the man Puel trusts to carry out his play. It's the same most weeks against anyone outside the top 6 - in fact anyone half decent would have won more comfortably today. I do excuse it somewhat as the last two games were mammoth efforts and we did look tired (Albrighton should not have played as he was visibly knackered at the start). But it's been the same pattern throughout all of 2018 pretty much. He deserves to stay for the last two results but as much as those two results are heavily positive for him, today's shower is heavily negative. Those last two results are just prolonging the agony. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious Leicester Fan Posted 29 December 2018 Share Posted 29 December 2018 This debate over Puel/players is to a large extent an irrelevant side issue. The problem that needs to be resolved (ASAP) is fundamental flaws in the team. It was clear to anyone at the match that we desperately need a CM who is both composed and can pass. Moreover, we need at least one wide/forward of genuine quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking and incompetent from all. Etheridge made 6 decent saves. Granted we should have been more clinical but we created loads of chances, enough to win the game easily. We were not appalling today. Sometimes you win when you don’t deserve too, sometimes you lose. Very fine margins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but he's not blameless at the same time, we lack tempo and start slow in the majority of our home games. Understandable against the big sides, however it happens too often against lesser teams, for it not to be a conservative approach by the manager. Similar to his time at Southampton we struggle to score goals. We give ourselves a mountain to climb to often, I want him to succeed but he needs to be more positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetly Posted 29 December 2018 Share Posted 29 December 2018 I just want to see us have a plan to win games, a system that works with the players we have. The manager should have worked this out he has been here a while now. Today was a day to forget but we got 6 points from 9 over the last three games not terrible but could have been so much better. i started to believe in the manager again after the last couple of games, but today showed how Poor our squad is and he can’t rotate without having a negative impact on results.

The_Rorab Posted 29 December 2018 Share Posted 29 December 2018 I can't believe anyone would support this club and at the same time have regretted beating Chelsea and Man City. Remember that rush when those games were over? That someone would prefer us 6 points worse off just to spite our manager is absolute madness to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixtiesFox Posted 29 December 2018 Share Posted 29 December 2018 Confidence should have been sky high today. We didn't capitalize on this. Two defensive midfielders and one upfront shows a lack of positive intent against a team that hadn't won away all season. This was compounded by the low tempo and lack of urgency. Ultimately, we got what we deserved. As someone said earlier, this is a pattern that we have seen too often before under Puel. Massive momentum lost. This manager just does not learn and it will cost him his job, probably sooner rather than later. He is simply too stubborn for his own good.

TheUltimateWinner Posted 29 December 2018 Share Posted 29 December 2018 Bloody fuming how he persists with a failed formula against teams who let us have possession. Don’t know how he can be so proactive and tactically aware against the bigger sides and then shit the bed against lesser opposition. I can see why his stubbornness supposedly irks players off. Still behind him but he really needs to realise his mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rorab Posted 29 December 2018 Share Posted 29 December 2018 In the end though, it was admittedly a crap result, and also a performance that flattered to deceive, but if Madders had scored the peno and we'd held on - regardless of the performance people would largely be content right now. Just as things were very reactionary when we beat Chelsea and Man City to slam the Puel out-ers, the sheer amount of told-you-so and stretches people are doing here is classic FT.
