MC Prussian Posted 18 January 2019 Share Posted 18 January 2019 2 minutes ago, Babylon said: He'd been training for one day, get real. This ultra negative taking a pop at the manger over everything is just ridiculous. Barnes is 21, hardly that easily worn out (compared to older players). He had his last game with West Bromwich on the 1st of January, so a recovery period of ten, eleven days in total. I don't see why you assume everything I post is a dig at the manager. He certainly has his flaws. I've also criticized the players, the club management (and the media department) in recent days and weeks. Ultimately, Puel is responsible for the way he sets up the team and the instructions and tactics during matches. It's only natural that he gets most of the flak, as with every manager before him. And yes, Cardiff, Newport and Southampton weren't something to cheer about, I suppose even you can see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bench was the most anyone should have hoped for, and thats what we got. 2nd part - it usually is though!

We'd have been working on formation and tactics most of the week, which he would have missed. He's not trained with us since the summer and probably not even some of our signings. Expecting him to walk into the team is just not realistic, so using that to slam the manager is totally unfair. It's a dig at the manager and overly negative because if you weren't so against the bloke, you'd see what you're accusing him off just isn't fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the buck stops with the manager, then he's the one getting most of the criticism. It's football, after all. And like I've said, players and club management have raised plenty of eyebrows recently, as well. Just to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, if Barnes is good enough for 45 minutes upon his return from West Brom, then surely he could've played from the start also. That's what I mean. Him walking straight into the team may not be realistic, but it certainly isn't unrealistic altogether. The whole talk surrounding the manager is probably better off in another thread. And we're all digressing from the main topic here, anyway. Edited 18 January 2019 by MC Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are we weren't planning on playing Barnes so early, and we're going to give him a 20 minute run-out at the end. Fact is though that the game didn't go to anyones expectations and we found ourselves chasing a 2-goal deficit at home with an extra man against a side that was shutting up shop, so our tactical plan was already mostly irrelevant. We needed attackers on the pitch and he was available, simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy boxing Posted 18 January 2019 Share Posted 18 January 2019 We need to do our due dilligance before signing a midfielder and make sure he can fit into our team and adapt to the way we play, especially after Silva and Iborra. we need a player with creativity that can hit the ground running and adapt very quickly.

I'd rather wait until the summer and get someone like Aaron Moy. He's proven at this level and has all the qualities we need, he won't cost much when Huddersfield inevitably go down.

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 18 January 2019 Share Posted 18 January 2019 I would be more than happy if we did a double deal with Celta Vigo say £50m for Lobotka & Brais Mendez. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 18 January 2019 Share Posted 18 January 2019 (edited) 3 pages in and no YouTube video!!!?!? Come on FoxesTalk, I know you are better than that! He's very good actually, and I'd expect him to play for a Roma / Sevilla type of team rather than come to the Premier League. Ideal player for our double pivot IMO though!

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 19 January 2019 Share Posted 19 January 2019 Would love for this to happen personally. Huge upgrade on Mendy. Lobotka playing in a midfield 3 with Ndidi & Maddison could work amazingly, covers everything you need. Hes also only 24 so fits into transfer strategy of investing into youth.
