Agreed that many seem to irrationally want Puel out. For many I think it started with his reputation during his final days at Southampton and isn't actually based on what he's achieved here. Sure, we're far from perfect and can be frustratingly inconsistent, and sometimes his team selection can underwhelm. But look where we are. If it wasn't for the title win, Puel's reign would be the best since O'Neill in terms of league position.

Ian Nacho Posted 4 January 2019 Share Posted 4 January 2019 Watching clubs like Southampton, Ipswich this season and so on makes me realise, the grass is always greener. We're 7th now and it's a huge risk to sack the manager what for? 7th scoring 3 goals every game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 5 January 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 5 January 2019 I've been very critical over Puel, but then again I was also one of the few fans on here that wasn't appalled by his appointment and argued he would start a rebuild job here. I'm still torn on him long term but when I consider the clubs around us (just below us) I realise how difficult it actually is to actually achieve success in the fans eyes. We are 7th, we have started a massive rebuild of our squad but haven't gone mad and made too many changes at once. We could still drop off and finish anywhere from 7th to 14th but look at Everton, West Ham, Fulham etc who all blew masses of money that we demanded should be being carried out at our club and yet we are emerging as being a better unit and team. We also have one of the youngest teams and have 3-4 players from the academy likely to be first team players very soon, if not already. I ask myself what it is I actually want, I'm not sure. Something still feels absent very quickly when we arent doing that well, it's more than the manager surely as everything is pointing to him doing a more than decent job but with many areas to improve on. Has the title win spoilt it? I'd say no, but it might well be how much I'd forgotten how boring mid table football is at any level I've seen my club at. 7th isn't mid table but I dont feel it would be the achievement it probably should be and that's wrong on my part. I think a lot of our fans are wankers, myself included. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanan96 Posted 5 January 2019 Share Posted 5 January 2019 15 hours ago, leicesterlad1989 said: Nope, we really don't. We lost Kante after one season but other than that, we have kept hold of pretty much all of our players that we have wanted to keep hold of. Outside of the top 4 clubs in England, no club is safe from losing their best players. You could argue that we have been very stubborn when it comes to selling our top players. We kept Mahrez 18 months to 2 years longer than expected. We held onto Vardy when Arsenal came calling and if you believe the rumours in the summer, we refused any negotiation with Man United for Maguire. To compare us to Southampton, is wide of the mark. They historically have had a good academy, in which they have gone on to sell their players for profit. The only comparison you could make is that both teams have re-invested poorly at times. While we held most of our player, what happen next is different. Our player aren't perform as they did, and Kante was a big loss. Moreover when we tried to put slimani and musa in Okazaki position. Draining lot of energy for our already outnumbered midfielder. It's took us 6 months to realise and sign another player like ndidi. We have short brief of good run during shakey early term but then quickly decline after few match gone. While top 4 could lose their best player, but most likely they will earn so much money as their player won't like forcing way out of their club, or they could keep their best while losing better player just to replace them after. What happened to arsenal for some season after their winning title is odd ones. We have bigger issues than just the manager. While most of the title win player were still here they aren't the same beast anymore. Most of them are either aging or struggling to adapt to other way while most team are found out how to exploit our title win tactics. Both Southampton and Arsenal were underestimate their problem, and simplify it as just manager issues which worry me sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 5 January 2019 Share Posted 5 January 2019 we really have to ask ourselves ; what do we desire more than anything else for Leicester City? Surely it’s for us to be a successful club? it’s for us to win games and finish as high as possible up the league... to me is is not a deal breaker if that is done with a defensive game. i’m not fond of it but it’s not a deal breaker. what is a deal breaker for me is for us to play badly, boring football and lose. it’s just a horrible combination that gets a lot of people’s goat. And that right there is Puel’s problem. he has put all his eggs in one basket and is adamant about the defensive aspect to his game no matter what the formation is. i was firmly in the Puel out group a few weeks ago when it looked like there was danger of us being dragged into the lower echelons of the league.. to slip lower down the league whilst playing so badly was just unbearable. we Struggled at times under Pearson but we played some great football and were desperately unlucky in some games and i can deal with that But who in their right mind would want to get of a manager if we keep on winning? that should give us the confidence to be a little more expressive- that’s my hope anyway. But there are so many fans who tolerate turgid football when we win. and yes, when those results turn against us and we still play defensive and really boring football, that’s when all the calls will come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need these short-sighted journalists,or small minded fans crusades,to report on the negatives...while I see growth,positive movement, over the last 14 months,again the defence stability alone was worth it,even when it wobbled,We had fit players to bring it back on course!!I Mind you I suppose we will always have the group -huddled-meetings,where it's questioned ,"okay but What did the Romans ever do for us" Success within changes,will not spring along in leaps and bounds....rebuilding at this level,we have never done before,we aren't to be compared with the programmes of Manutd/Man.city/Chelsea/L'pool/Arsenal or Spurs. even Evertons infrastructure should be better placed...and that lack of foresight and understanding,from within our fan-base who carry an air of expectation and entitlement over other PL clubs, IMO has led to a tiring weekly feeling that grinds this forum down.... Maybe it's my fault,my perspective and opinions that bore others, Gameday critic on individuals or team,or opinions over how individual posters might see a group of games,not to their own considered fair expectations,I really don't mind,fair game one could say... but anyone who posts must also expect pro and contra to that witty,mundane,humerous,bad-taste,frustrating,gobsmacking opinion!! One of the irritating subject is the use of subs,...is not Puel but the posters contradicting one another everyweek,then some bright spark believe and have the audacity to chose that is a reason to say that proves "Any managers". Incompetence he should go!!!!. Not even caring to find out why rotation was/is a need . Reading this post is like watching LCFC under Puel. Hard work, often confusing, yet pulls me back in just before I think 'no more' You are the 7th best poster in the toughest forum in the world. That won't be enough for some, but for me you're doing just fine? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 5 January 2019 Share Posted 5 January 2019 (edited) https://statsbomb.com/2018/07/leicester-city-2018-19-season-preview/ Reading our stats bomb season preview and I forgot how poor we were defensively, this season we've pressed a lot better which has helped - according to understat with got the 5th best xG against which shows how much we've improved in that regard. The downside is that we have the 13th best attack I think the crux of the matter is probably central midfield, we're stodgy but not creative enough - I don't think its solely a personnel issue but a more progressive DM and a better scorer and creator out wide see us comfortably 7th I think. The issue is that they're difficult to find, Barnes might be the answer for that one. Never heard of this guy but just looked at some stats and he's coming up well 2.8 tackles and 1.5 interceptions per games as well but again I have absolutely no idea about thus guy Obligatory shit music, apologies. Looks tidy though Edited 5 January 2019 by Stadt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
