You can’t even compare ghezzal to albrighton, ghezzal should be shining his boots

Have him do one and bring in Gray to shine the other

[jon1bc]

Ghezzal not good enough and doesn't give me the impression he ever will be. Barnes has potential but he's being dropped in at the deep end. Gray is frustrating. Team feels disjointed. Vardy through no fault of his own is isolated and this new style of play is not complementing his style. No, we can't shape our team around 1 man but we're Leicester and that's how we won the league.  Adapting out style to a possession type team is not going to work with the players we have. We won't go down but fml it's shambles atm

I once ripped my ball bag jumping a fence. However, this is probably even more painful.

Still wouldn't be someone we should look to offload even saying what you're saying until we have someone better...like Chilwell for Fuchs...Pereira for Simpson etc

I rephrased my point to make it clear, I wouldnt be fussed if he did go and I don't believe he is any better than we are now as a squad. He does not really suit us unless we buy a lump to put upfront which likely means dropping vardy or going back to 442.

Dropped in the deep end but still better than our other attacking midfielders again

As for how many of our players making a top 10 team.......right now...none.

All of which under a different manager would be!

Albrightton has proved his worth over a few seasons, why he’s being criticised here I don’t know.

He's not being criticised. I'm just being realistic about his ability. We don't have any wingers that are good enough for top half at present.

For the most part I would say Marc would struggle to get Into any top half team, which speaks volumes.

It's got to the point I have to concede that it's probably time for Puel to go.
Not because I want him to personally, because i believe in what he want's to achieve and the style of football he had at other clubs like Lille, but that our players simply are not good enough to adapt to it and I'm not sure many of them ever will under Puel.

Whether you believe he does not inspire the team, or believe he does not know what he's doing tactically is irrelevant to me at this point, the reason i believe he should go is because we seem to be making bad individual mistakes over and over, I don't believe most of these mistakes are down to formation or Puel, but individually our players focus seem to be league 2 standard, week after week we make defensive mistakes and blow multiple chances upfront, sure the manager has to take some of the blame for this, but it's not his job to make the decision in that moment, the basics of defending and chance creation stay the same and the players let us down time after time. 

A perfect example would be Fuchs for the second goal, in no mans land nowhere near where he should have been (for the umpteenth time since we won the league) he's regressed and no manager will make him better, but at the same time individual mistakes are a poison in our club at present and CP has not addressed this issue. 

Although individual mistakes are not his fault directly, indirectly they just keep on happening, and it cannot go on.
We need one of the biggest clear-outs in the premier league in terms of dead wood, and a lot of our players have a lot to answer for. 

The form speaks for itself at present and we seem to keep going through these phases where no matter how good or bad we play the result is the same. I've simply got to jump the fence at this point, even though I actually really like him and what he talks about in terms of what he wants to achieve, I believe in it! But i now cannot see it ever being produced. One thing is for sure in terms of players the squad is in a better shape now than the one Puel inherited, but with the way we are going at present I can't see this potential ever coming to fruition. 

I'm sorry Claude, I believe in your words and I've defended you for 18 months now believing they will come true but for me, you have to go. 

 

Sidenote - Which players need to (or would you not be bothered to see) go in summer? For me the list is growing week after week. 
If United come in with 50m+ for Maguire i'd snap their arm off. Massively overrated and has been bang average for a while now. 
Fuchs, 
Jakupovic,
Simpson, 
Albrighton, 
Mendy,
James,
Okazaki, 
Iheanacho. 
 

I agree with everything except Albrighton, mate. Maybe he’s more limited but he tries a lot harder which in my opinion is more productive, I’d rather have someone with lesser talent trying than players thinking they’re better than they are just going through the motions expecting something to happen.

It’s tough for any winger to play in a team that has no target man, who’s he actually crossing the ball to? No wonder his stats look so poor.

If he has nobody to cross it into why keep crossing it? He's a good passer, where are the through balls? why does ghezzal manage it more than him?

I agree with this, which is why i changed my wording, out of the list he would be the one i would want to hold on to more, but I just don't believe he's as good as we need, good squad player and great attitude, but without a target man it's pointless.

I believe similar, but I also accept it isn't going to happen over night and that unless the fans and the club accept that, we're just going to keep going nowhere with short-term fixes.

Ranieri tries to change it, loses a few, sack him.

Shakespeare tries to change it, loses a few, sack him.

Puel tries to change it, loses a few, sack him.

 

Spot the common denominator.

Puel has changed things ...... it’s simply that he isn’t the man to take us forward now. I wonder if he was given the very difficult task of changing the guard, knowing it was unlikely he would be able to go the next step 

 

the board want to change in the summer ....... this sudden drop off in form and results is going to cause them a big headache

The fact remains ghezzal creates more chances per minute than Albrighton does, which top 10 club would albrighton walk into in this league? 

Do chances created for the opposition count towards that stat?

 

He wouldn't need to walk into a top 10 club as a starter, he's a good squad option.

I’m probably a dinosaur but wingers provide crosses into the box, that’s what they do, I’m not sure why we continue to play wide men without any CF who’s good in the air.
