Freeman's Wharfer Posted 6 January 2019 Share Posted 6 January 2019 People are talking about the selection. It’s rubbish. That 11 is better than their 11. Full stop. The problem is the way they were set up and that they were asked to play the style Puel believes in which has time and again shown itself to be ineffective at breaking down an opposition side who first and foremost sit in and defend. How can some not see that? I honestly think even if we’d had a couple of extra first teamers out there tonight we’d have still struggled. I’ve not seen any performance of late that tells me we can cope with having more of the ball than the opposition. But that’s what he was brought in to do. It’s side-to-side. It’s uninspired. It lacks creativity and impetus. It’s dull. And it’s ultimately completely ineffective. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basildon Fox Posted 6 January 2019 Share Posted 6 January 2019 How long do we give the boring one paced football a chance? I think we are in 7th despite Puel and not because of him. Absolutely no idea how to attack when the opposition sit back. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bring in whoever you want, but they have still got to deal with a bloated and frankly woeful squad backup. The problems aren't all on him. To be fair the use of the squad and tactics have at times been woeful. You can understand why people doubt him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A better manager would know how to lift the team up when they down. If am honest sometimes i feel like the players manage the team and not the peul but personally untill hes starts kicking player up the dung hole and learns from his mistakes hes not good enough to take us to the next stage and i feel we should be if the owers are investing so much money in to club with expansion of the ground and new training ground etc they need that better manger Edited 6 January 2019 by TeamRocket 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people pre match thought hey they could do us here cos of that line up. It's the complete wrong mentality. Matty James can barely ****ing run, Okazaki has had a good 15 minutes in the last year, hasn't scored for 33 games playing behind a player that hasn't scored for 15 games, bringing on King who hasn't played for us in a year when you desperately need a goal. Maybe the players lacked desire but the management hardly led from the front in that respect. Went into it with the wrong mentality and got exactly what we deserved, thinking we could play a bunch of players that have barely played with each other and who are out of form or not in our plans. Everyone involved should be embarrassed and carry the can for it, not just the players, not just the managers. **** off with your automatic must defend Puel. I've accepted he should get the season, that the results are plenty enough for him to keep his job despite the football so I don't see reason to hound him. But beat Chelsea=superb tactics from Puel, lose to Newport=all on the players that. This wasn't about tactics. It was all about the insulting team he put out. Typical foreign manager with no idea or respect for the oldest football cup competition in the world or what it means to us the fans. I mean what else did we have to play for this season? As soon as I saw the starting eleven I thought you cheek bugger you are just asking to get beat. Newport must have thought their boat had come in. How anyone on here can even try and defend Puel as a manager after that beggar's belief. Unfortunately, I fear we are stuck with him till the end of the season, but with now nothing to play for I can't wait until the seasons over and see the back of this obvious fraud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is simply that despite a strong 11 the squad isn’t good enough. CP can see that but needs time to change it. Nacho was dreadful today but who but who else is there with Vardy needing a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend_in_blue Posted 6 January 2019 Share Posted 6 January 2019 The manager has to take responsibility for managing the players correctly both on and off the field. He isn't managing the squad effectively enough and when called upon, the squad players were woefully short of what was required. He's ok with the core set of players most of the time but it's clear the fringe players are not with him at all after that today. Appalling all round.

Popular Post RumbleFox Posted 6 January 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 6 January 2019 (edited) Puel is in the PROCESS of overhauling the squad. The squad is bloated, uneven and contains too many average players. Last window he solved our RB issue, added a quality young number 10 and bought two very young CBs who look to have the potential to succeed at this level. During this window and the summer I would imagine him to come close to finishing his overhaul. If by the start of next season we still have no decent striker other than Vardy, still have a bloated uneven squad and have not invested in a quality CM then by all means we can ask questions of Puel. The madness in sacking him now is that he was given a remit and he is only half way through it. He needs backing until he has finished. And anyone asking why he deserves patience needs to look at the league. We are currently on course for the 2nd highest Premier League finish in the history of our club. The 2nd highest ever. Is that all we should ever settle for? Of course not but is it a sackable offence? I can't see that it is? Today was a deeply depressing match and result but I'm not so fickle as to change my view of Puel over this one result. I can see where he is trying to take us. he may never make it, he may not be good enough but we cannot say with certainty anything yet other than "we are currently on course for our 2nd best Premier League Finish ever".
