It wouldn't surprise me to go unbeaten over the next two game, maybe even win one or both, unbeaten during a period of Liverpool, Man Utd and Tottenham, would be very good, add Chelsea and Man City in from earlier in the season, fair play. After the Tottenham game we have a favourable run of fixtures, we arguably should be going through a winning-run with those upcoming fixtures, now there's no easy games yada, yada, yada, but based on past evidence of showings against the teams we should be expecting to get something from we struggle during those periods. It remains to be seen and let's not write them off yet, but this will be his 3rd crack at 'favourable' fixtures (I'd say? After January last season, earlier this season, and the upcoming one). Those favourable fixtures run until the last game 3 games, where based on whats gone before we might pick up again against Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that Savage is defending Puel in this article? With regards to Newport I said at the time the selection of Shinji made no sense, especially as Maddison was left on the bench and hadn’t played the previous game against Everton. That he blew 3 golden chances came as absolutely no surprise to anyone who’s seen him front of goal recently. Not having Vardy on the bench was also a mistake in my opinion. But yes, I’ve argued he should be given time and every chance to build as you suggest too. I think you misunderstand me! I get the article is meant to defend Puel, it's just the tone of the article, which annoyed me. Especially the bit about our 'weakened' team against Newport. The article was almost condescending. Our team was packed full of International players and we had SIX Premier League winners in that team, including the entire back four, with two more on the bench. I found it hard to believe Savage would have glossed over that fact. Hence my thoughts that it was a hack using Savage's name (can Savage write? ), after the hack was told his task that day was to write about little old Leicester rather than write glowing reports about the media's lovie team, Spuds. Like you, I've been defending Puel all season. I'm really glad there are others like me out there! I've said many times I think he is actually overachieving here. I like what he's trying to do and whilst we are safe from relegation and the players are playing for him I will support him. His strength is building a team, which takes time and I wish our supporters would realize this. Going back to the Newport game, I agree 100% with you about Maddison. I think Puel wanted to give James a run, hence leaving out Maddison. James was poor, looked out of his depth after such a long time out, and had little impact. He should have been taken off much earlier. We had 24 shots in that match.I think Puel played Okazaki because had had as little faith in Nacho as, unfortunately, do most of us. Unfortunately, although Okazaki tries hard (something Nacho should be learning to do), he just can't score. With Vardy injured we had little other options. We still should have won that match though and it was nothing to do with the so called weakened team we put out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesta blue Posted 3 February 2019 Share Posted 3 February 2019 One can see what the long term plan is for Puel. But I think he needs to be a little more adventurous in team selection. Some of the players, Mendi, Ndidi and Morgan to an extent could do with being dropped for a game or two. That might keep them on their toes and not see themselves as fixtures. I feel complacency creeping in some of the players and hence the individual errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Morgan did just get benched....as for complacency, I think that's been about for several years now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post foxfanazer Posted 3 February 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 3 February 2019 I actually think for the job that needs doing right now we're in very safe hands. It will take 2 or 3 more windows to fully transition imo and I feel Puel will comfortably keep us in the league in the meantime. It might not be edge of the seat exciting all of the time but I love certain elements of his time here, particularly his trust in young players. We are not in crisis so let's keep our heads 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tringfox Posted 3 February 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 3 February 2019 I can’t see them pulling the plug anytime soon, I saw him training in Bannatynes gym last night. The tight bast@rd wouldn’t have signed up for a 12 month contract if he thought he was going to be sacked ? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royston. Posted 3 February 2019 Share Posted 3 February 2019 Needs several qualitee players to make his system effective. His blind arrogance suggests he has been given assurances by the board. Tbf midtable for a young side trying to fit a system theyre incapable of playing isnt bad. We just have to put up with mind numbing, laughably bad performances for the time being. Puel in because he is building something, we're just in the ugly duckling phase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its perfectly possible, that our better players will leave for a bigger club or club’s that have the intent to win even the ‘lesser’ trophies such as the Cups, which we have shown we are not interested in doing. This ‘building a team’ for a club of our size is a thing of the past and those who don’t realise that are, to be quite honest living in a dream world. Football has changed even in the few years since we won the title in this respect. All the better players are hoovered up by the big 6 quicker than ever before.

You interpreted what I said through the only way you can look at anything regarding LCFC at the moment I wasn't talking about Puel or his tactics. The argument that the games we play poorly in are because of his tactics and the games we do well in are no tactics at all seems pretty far fetched It’s far fetched to you with your current mindset. Every game we play under Puel reinforces what I have written Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Freeman's Wharfer Posted 3 February 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 3 February 2019 This “he’s building something” argument is complete nonsense. Building what? A team that can play a possession-based style of football? Yet our best results come with circa 30% possession and we consistently fail to break down the lower ranked teams at home. Take away those results against City and Chelsea and what signs do you have that anything is being built in particular? He’s not building anything. And certainly not anything you’d want him to complete based on current showing (unless you’d like to take away those c.30% possession results of course). 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueharmie Posted 3 February 2019 Share Posted 3 February 2019 Spot on post above. I don't get this building rubbish. Then I read he's building over the next 3 transfers windows....what are some of you on. He needs to go and fast..we need a manager who can get the best out of the players and he is not this man. We have a pretty decent team he is choking our players . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted 4 February 2019 Share Posted 4 February 2019 I don’t particularly blame Puel for yesterday’s result. No disgrace in losing to this United, albeit they weren’t fantastic, and we gave it a decent go in the second half. I asked a mate of mine why he goes to watch football - after a bit of thought he came up with “drama, excitement, camaraderie, hang out with mates, habit, gets me out of the house” For me, Puel seems too rigid, cautions and defensive a manager to fulfil the emotional needs of the above reasons for watching his style of football. So we’re left with “Gets me out of the house and to see my mates” Not a shining endorsement, is it?! My tuppence worth. I’m sure others will have their own reasons, and will enjoy the match day experience more than I do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
