hamptonfox Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 As a Season Ticket holder, like many others, the way to our hearts is firstly good HOME performances, and results. If you perform poorly in front of your biggest audiences of Foxes fans (10x more Foxes fans at home, than away) you are going to p@ss off the majority very quickly. Unfortunately for Claude Puel he doesn't have a plan that gives the Home fans anything other than generally relegation performances and results. It's only the Away results that are stopping us freefalling to the bottom three, and out of the Premier League. Our last 19 HOME League games (Feb 18 to date), our results are: Won 5 Drew 6 Lost 8 Points 21 Looking at the last 5 Home/Away Premier League Final Tables shows a stark warning to Puel, and his need to turnaround Home form. 2017/18 - Only the relegated bottom three won 5 Home games, or fewer. 2016/17 - Only the relegated bottom two won 5 Home games or fewer. 2015/16 - Only the relegated bottom two won less than 5 Home games (Chelsea were the 3rd worst Home team, winning 5 Home games, finishing in 13th). 2014/15 - Only the relegated bottom three gained less than 21 Home points. 2013/14 - Only the relegated bottom three gained less than 21 Home points. Sort out the Home form, or you will never have the majority wanting you to manage our club.
Fox92 Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 His formation and player selection is good for away games. It's at home where he has to be less defensive.

Blanchflower78 Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 One trick pony. Can't differentiate between man city or cardiff. One style only. Gotta go.

This is every manager outside the top 6. Example - Crystal Palace. Shit at home. Rarely score. Beat Manchester City away.
Dr Marco Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 Puel's got a good goalkeeper, two great international fullbacks, one very solid centreback with Maguire, two quality CM with Mendy, N'Didi, one very promising creative player with Maddison and a (although getting old) a very good striker with Vardy ...and still he can lose at home against shit teams.... PUEL OUT!

Except we played a different setup vs Cardiff than Man City, one he then got slated for because "don't change muh winning team". So, which is it? Changing depending on who we're playing against, or too inflexible?

So, which is it? Changing depending on who we're playing against, or too inflexible? The oldest rule in football is dont change a winning team unless you absolutely have too. A team thats coming off the back of 2 really good wins are going to be high on confidence but then suddenly some of them are dropped and things are jigged around and they lose that confidence and momentum. He made the mistake of changing a team that had just beating last 2 seasons previous champions and upsetting the dropped players that played well in those games. Hes then panicked and reverted back to that team after a really poor performance and loss hoping something would stick but at this point all confidence and momentum has been lost. Yesterdays selection was that of a desperate and clueless man.

SheppyFox Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 We’ll put in some dominant and entertaining displays in the championship, at home if we get the stadium expansion period wrong. Stability is more important than entertainment right now, it’s a business afterall. I do however think he’s on borrowed time, his persona has changed somewhat and he’s clearly feeling annoyed.

LinekersApples Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 He can’t win. A lot of our fans are knobs. Get rid and bring in the next scapegoat.

smr Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 I have a season ticket too and do you know what i said as i walked out the ground last night? "Why do we never seem to win at home. Its bloody annoying." So yeah.

So none of the top 5/6 teams have changed their team format or their players when they've won, Don't believe it and it's a myth especially in today's 25 man squad set ups.
lgfualol Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 Pep literally changes and drops players after massive wins. Our fans would be having strokes if he was our manager Anyway, big man needed at home. Unpopular but Vardy is an invisible man against sides that park the bus, need someone else for such games if we want to at least convert one of our 10000 crosses per game
foxes_rule1978 Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 Too defensive at home, we win away because teams are willing to come out more and play on the front foot. This happens less at home, teams just like to sit back and that is when we are poor because we don’t want to attack them either, we always seem to start so slow especially at home, going a goal down quite early in games.
JamesWelshFox Posted 13 January 2019 Posted 13 January 2019 Whether it has been title winning or great escapes we have enjoyed a number of seasons now of exciting football, ever the great escape year we were playing good football even before the results started to turn in our favour. Puel's sides pull off some excellent 1-0 results against sides people don't expect us to beat, but the rest of the time seem to have the ability to bore the pants off us. Personally I would sooner watch a team that was really going for it on the attack then a side designed to grind it out. We actually have some talented attack minded players for once so let them do what they are good at. I would sooner have lost 4-3 yesterday whilst thinking we could still score again and get something out of the game than go down like we did. No wonder Vards is fed up. I defy anyone to say they prefer the football we play under Puel, to that we were playing under Pearson during the great escape. Puel gotta go for me, we need a manager with some attacking imagination.

See the difference is the top 5/6 teams will change teams around from wins against the likes of Cardiff and Huddersfield. They also have the benefit of having good squad depth whereas we do not. You won’t see them changing their starting 11s much between games against their biggest rivals however. We aren’t a top 5/6 club and i dont believe for 1 second we have the god given right to be one. But as a smaller team with a squad packed with less quality why are you going to change it and risk upsetting the balance after 2 fantastic wins against top opposition? At least let them get to 4-5 positive results before introducing incrimental changes.

He had a winning team and a winning formula and he changed it at the first opportunity. I'm not necessarily saying you're wrong. I'm making the point that according to some fans he's useless and should go because he changes a winning team and then he's getting it from another section of the fans because apparently he's too stupid to tailor his tactics for the different teams we face each week. Like I say, the guy can't win.

Sort out the Home form, or you will never have the majority wanting you to manage our club. Very true, but fortunately it's overall results that decide where you finish. In which case if you were just measuring it on purely stats, whatever you may think of him, in the league he's very successful. To our owners, football is a business and staying in the league is paramount, not merely keeping fans happy and playing entertaining football. In realty, I'm sure Top like us wants both doesn't he. I don't see him at this mid season point throwing the baby out with the bathwater simply to provide entertainment. At the end of the season they may well take stock but when yesterday's opponents come to mind they'll be very careful I think. The business model comes first, not the fans.
