Puel had best hope in the next three we perform and get points, because that form table will very soon not be as kind to him if we don't.

BoyJones Posted 20 January 2019 Posted 20 January 2019 Purl selected a team that was never going to win today. Wolves should have been four up at half time, but for woeful finishing. It was great the players came out after half time and showed some pride. I was talking to a couple of wolves fans after the game and they hit the nail on the head. They said there's no real connection between your defence, midfield and attack. Most of the time they seem like strangers on a different wavelength., no cohesion or understanding. Whose fault is this?
Dan Posted 20 January 2019 Posted 20 January 2019 Out for me and it has been a little while. There have been a few games this season where my faith in him has taken a significant hit, namely Bournemouth away, West Ham at home, Southampton at home in the cup and to be honest, I think Fulham away and the run that ensued largely did it. Even after the Chelsea & Man City wins I thought the real acid test was Cardiff and we produced everything I feared we would. The sad truth is the repetition of dropped points at home is more likely than picking up points from the top six. It isn't sustainable. I think in a lot of ways it's hit the point where there's just no point in continuing with it. It's sad that he's never managed to build a rapport with our fans but the fact the exact same happened at Southampton makes me think there's more to it than just our fans being whiney arseholes (although I appreciate, a lot are). More and more words appearing between the lines from well connected journalists that the players and him don't get on. Geoff Peters and John Percy are both clearly going to know things. I just don't think it's going anywhere. There are big cracks in this entire set up and I feel like every win we pick up is just papering over that. We hardly ever put a run of wins together and we don't seem to have actually solved many, if any of our issues that were here with him last year. The league position I think people read a bit too much into. First of all, we haven't finished in the top half this season yet so we can't really hold that argument up with much strength. I also think if you click the spoiler below, you get a far more accurate reflection of how the table actually is. 60 Liverpool 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 Manchester City 52 51 50 49 48 Tottenham 47 Chelsea 46 45 44 Arsenal, Manchester United 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 Watford 32 Wolves 31 Leicester, West Ham 30 Everton, Bournemouth 29 28 27 26 Brighton 25 24 23 22 Crystal Palace, Southampton, Burnley 21 Newcastle 20 19 Cardiff 18 17 16 15 14 Fulham 13 12 11 Huddersfield In reality, we're in a cluster of teams with little between them, it's possible we come out on top of that pile - but can you say with any honesty that it looks likely that we do? If this league position, flimsy as it is is at the cost of ever enjoying home games, then I'm out. This is a tough job, it's tougher than it really ought to be, but it is what it is and I can honestly say if Puel was here five years, I would not expect us to better his finish last season. That's how I feel from watching all bar one game of his reign here. Puel out.
BoyJones Posted 20 January 2019 Posted 20 January 2019 Puel out because he doesn't give a merde about the fans

bpfox Posted 20 January 2019 Posted 20 January 2019 IF they dont sack him NOW then they got rocks for brains. how the hell to u start with simpson he is terrible. then he leaves maddison on the bench, and plays barnes who is dead average. gray had his best game today in years , but he also is dead average. i have lost faith with the boss, i think we are head for a run of losses

Are people really writing off Barnes already? Dead average 21 year olds dont tear up the championship. It was his first ever PL start. Maddison was probably on the bench as the little girl he was friends with and supported during her long cancer battle passed away in the early hours.

Dahnsouff Posted 20 January 2019 Posted 20 January 2019 Puel should probably stick with an 11 and screw what ANYONE else thinks, or leave for his own sanity. Sad to say that many fans do not have the patience to get behind this project. Yesterday, a lot of fans should have been excited by th attacking play shown in parts. Alas, people would rather lambast him for other frailties shown by defenders who at the moment have the agility of a fully laden oil tanker and the discipline of surly teenagers.

There were always going to be some idiots who wrote him off after one game, many on here predicted it, it doesn't constitute the general consensus though.

Happy Fox Posted 20 January 2019 Posted 20 January 2019 StanSp Sunil Parmar @Sunil_YG30 4m4 minutes ago More So I've just been told that Puel might be gone by end of today, if not then tomorrow morning. If that's the case, there's gonna be a lot of happier fans no doubt. Then you'll have pundits wondering why despite not having watched all our games in entirety #Puel #LCFC 0 replies0 retweets0 likes Reply Retweet Like
Flappit Posted 20 January 2019 Posted 20 January 2019 I've seen "he'll be gone tomorrow" posts so many times now that it just feels like guesswork. For me it speaks volumes that he's standing on the touchline doing his nut at the players for not (apparently) carrying out his orders. However... Did you, as coach, make sure they clearly understood the tactics you're giving them before they step over that line? If they're confused at all, it's down to you and your coaches and you are responsible. Can you explain why the team consistently leaks early goals and has slow starts? Is it because you fail to communicate properly and get your players geed up? Do you understand that continually changing your team has a detrimental effect? Morgan and Evans didn't seem to be on the same page about the defensive line yesterday where Morgan appeared to be playing way higher up than Evans. Why do you appear to be blind to the failings and poor form of Ndidi and Mendy? It's not just "fan talk" at this point, it's very clear there is a problem. Can you not see that your tactics are effectively nullifying Jamie Vardy, one of the most consistent strikers of recent seasons? He's not just a one trick pony, but he needs service to feet, not lumped in from the last third vs. hulking central defenders. I could go on. The point is that if the players aren't doing what Puel wants, surely that in itself is a problem as much as if they ARE playing exactly as he wants, which it appear they aren't based on his actions on the touchline. At the time we employed him, the Saints fans warned us. Our reaction was quite arrogant: "Oh we've got better players than you had, we'll be fine..." and yet where are we now. It's almost impossible for us to be relegated from this position (fortunately) but we could very easily have a poor end to the season which will hardly excite better players about signing for us.
