Arriba Los Zorros Posted 13 December 2020 Share Posted 13 December 2020 This thread is the most reactionary and schizophrenic on Foxestalk, which takes some doing. Win, he's the best thing since sliced bread. Lose, sack him. please, close it off. It's an embarrassment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Webbo Posted 13 December 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 13 December 2020 There's a hatred/mistrust of Brendan that I don't really understand. I was one of the earliest anti Puel types but I don't remember at any time him getting the same stick Brendan does. we were told we should be happy with 12th and a lot of people accepted that. We've been in the top 6 solidly for a year, we're through in Europe. It doesn't make sense to me. That doesn't mean he should be above criticism, but just get it in proportion. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reacted much more quickly to events this evening and made the necessary change. I can understand people wanted more game time for Cengiz (think there may be a thread somewhere 😂) and Barnes but I think giving Perez a start and more time was shrewd too. He needs confidence and we need him for depth. So a top evening all round and credit to Brendan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a bit of use of the old rose coloured retrospectroscope to be honest. Puel had far worse than BR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the criticism he does receive, he's still far more popular than Puel ever was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxes96 Posted 13 December 2020 Share Posted 13 December 2020 Playing devils advocate a little bit.. but what if this was all planned, in the game where we’d have more possession went with the more creative threats of madders and Perez behind vardy to break them down with real width provided by JJ and Albrighton to get round their 3 atb. and he is saving Barnes and Ünder for the Everton game where the out and out wingers can attack whichever CB’s Everton put in the FB positions? Under against Godfrey is mouthwatering. And also allows us to play 3 in midfield to match up with Everton’s 3 playing 4-3-3. just a thought, but a lot of games so rest and rotation are necessary to keep the team fresh to play every couple of days. Imagine it’ll be back to 3/ 5 at the back for the Spurs and Man U games with one of Barnes or Ünder with someone else (Madders / Praet / Perez) supporting Vardy to catch them on the counter.

whoareyaaa Posted 13 December 2020 Share Posted 13 December 2020 I don't think no one has anything against him, as fans we just want to see an attacking side... he has done a cracking job considering all factors and proved today he can change his style of play 1 point off the top !
