Southampton Home post match, 1-2 loss.

[YesNdidi]

Nah just keep launching balls into the box for our 5’10” striker . Maybe we’ll get a goal from it once every 5 matches. Absolute class from Puel that is 

[Guest ttfn]

The main issue right now is that too many of our players are thick as two short planks.

 

Vardy managing to be offside twice in the last 10 minutes against a deep defence and Maguire hoofing a shot from 30 yards into row Z just as we were turning the screw were particular lowlights.

[ealingfox]

To be honest I'd give us a better chance of winning away at Wolves, Liverpool and Spurs, than I would of fixtures like today

 

[5waller5]

Puel's lack of attacking plan couldn't have been more plain than today.

 

You don't create chances by just lofting the ball into the box unless you fill that box with your own players. 

 

We cross ball after ball to 8 defenders and 1 or 2 attackers in the area and somehow expect the ball to find it's way into the goal. 

 

Terrible, and has been for some time. Time to go.

[danny2997]

Anyone got any clips of the goals? I missed the game for an exam.

[copunk]

Ive been sitting oj the fance regarding claude but i Dont know what to say anymore to be honest, regardless of whos in charge now every team knows how to set up against us, and we have no plan B at all, we dont have the players to break teams down, and every side apart from the top 6 wont play a high line in fear of vardy getting in behind, so bang goes tge counter attack, so what else is there? New manager bounce would get everyone going again but as some have said we will be in the same position 12 months down the line, its quite scary to be honest

That’s easy for you to say Claude.

 

Seriously though; performances are not this manager’s responsibility now ?.

 

A laughable position to take which has no credibility whatsoever.

This is my main gripe with a lot of Puels defenders. There are some that are reasonable but there are some that find any reason to absolve him of any responsibility what so ever when we lose, yet when they win the same things they absolve him off when losing they use to give him credit with when winninng. 

 

Guess you can say the same about the Puel out crowd.

 

For me its neither here nor there. I’m sick of the negative slow football that we play. I’m sick of the team being set up to contain, defend and nick a result against teams in lower positions than us.

 

I hope Puel improves but the signs are not there, he’s stubborn and it he loses his job he loses his job. Hopefully the next person that comes in isnt so negative.

 

Regardless of whos in charge i want to see a Leicester City team play without fear and put in maximum effort every single game no matter who they are playing. It would make losses much easier to take.

 

 

[foxes_rule1978]

Too often we start so slow especially at home, we allow them to get comfortable and score... it has happened time and time again and not just this season, was a regular thing towards the last 4 months of last too

[wokinghamfox]

If he is going to be sacked it must be done now.

In what world is our manager to think Mendy Ndidi and Choudhury together would work at home to these

Exactly the same world as the one where a good portion of our fans blamed our defeat to Cardiff on not doing this.

 

Poor tactics but he can’t win.

So, everyone's overreacting to fine margins. Not great first half, second half far better. There's a clear penalty not given on Vardy about 3 minutes after Ndidi scores. Referee gets a decision right for once and gives that, I don't doubt we win. 

 

A few poor performances first half (Albrighton and Mendy) which Puel correctly identified and changed. As Claude said in the week, y'all need a reality check.

 

Also, shout out to the "fan" stood next to me (SK1, MM, seat 6). Not chanting, shouting abuse at Chilwell and Grey every time a cross was part cleared and that we need it to hoof it to Vardy because that's how we won the title, then making more noise at the end booing and shouting Puel Out. You're everything wrong with the clubs fanbase

 

I can't remember a clear penalty on Vardy, only thing I can think of is when he fell over without being touched and didn't appeal for anything?

Add to that list N'didi shooting 10 yards over every time the ball fell to him, regardless of which foot it fell on, first time.

[st albans fox]

We needed to get in behind

 

we had an extra man

 

it shouldn’t have been that hard but we decided to stick two wingers in the space the full backs needed to attack

 

the two wingers seemed not to have a clue how to work the possession to make it happen 

 

what do they do all week???

I would argue we have good players playing below par because of the manager but maybe I am wrong.

I think we have a mix of good players and then average players that pull us down. We also have a weird squad full of players from 3+ different managers, all of which had different ways of playing.

 

I just dont see the problem changing with a new manager, bar a small bounce to begin with.

[Stevosevic]

Can he go now please. We lose the next 4 

[Jattdogg]

watch us beat liverpool and spurs lol.. the randomness of a fox fan

[Grebfromgrebland]

Very soft penalty to give away though wasn't it?

[midland_red]

I feel like I want to say something but don't know what it is!! In general I'm Puel in but shite rubbish today stretch my faith. We can't pass and seem to pose no threat in front of goal - did you check the amount of shots and heads which went straight at their keeper? We kept skying long shots because we had no idea how to break down a tight defence.

But think is, suppose Puel goes? Who then and what then? another cycle of new manager bounce followed by a rapid slide down the table? Rinse and repeat..

I'm just so glad I'm not in Top's shoes (or those of his advisers)

Get rid and continue the cycle we're in. Keep the fraud players though. It can't be their fault

Ever more the reason to get a new manager, one who has the balls force out the dead wood.

Span the CB, got his foot kicked. Put simply if he doesn't go down he's in on goal - obviously he's not going to dive

[Fox85]

Has he been sacked yet??

 

I'm hearing imminently

It was never going to work and will never work apart from the odd game against a top side, each then we’d need a huge amount of luck. I never want to see it again, together with Ndidi and Mendy in a two. We’re relying on full backs creating but they don’t create, just lump balls into the box for the defenders to clear all match. Get someone in the middle who can play a forward pass
