Was a ****ing awful, awful match. I've no idea why I voluntarily watched it knowing full well what Puel football is like.

Same

Slimani wasn't playing either so Monaco's goal threat heavily reduced. I know they have Ben Yedder who has been great but seems like if one is missing then the other really suffers. 

 

St Etienne were really poor frankly and contributed as much as Monaco to make this game really dull.

It's amazing how far backwards Keita has gone since Lazio. 

 

He looks like he's got Iheanacho syndrome. Completely and totally lost any and all confidence.

Not as bad a manager as our fans made out!

[Deeg67]

He trusts the kids. It’s working for him here.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Tactically poor at Leicester, nullified our one main threat (Vardy) and produced some of the dullest football I’ve ever had the misfortune to see, possession for possessions sake, but and it’s a big BUT he was great at spotting young talent and so credit where credits due he played a large part in assembling our current side.

Hope it works out for him at St Etienne.

[Deeg67]

He had the thankless job of turning a counterattacking side into a possession-based side, which is a lot harder than the next step that Rodgers inherited.

Hmm. 

French Ligue 1 is a totally different kettle of fish to Premier League. His style of football suits that league well.

They lost 3-2 in the end 

 

down to 15th and I think around 2 points above relegation zone

 

[UpTheLeagueFox]

St Etienne were fourth on November 10th, three points behind second spot.

 

Here's their last 12 league games:

 

Win 2

Draw 1

Lose 9

 

They're currently 16th, two points and two places above the relegation zone. (And 24 points behind second spot,)

 

He did get 17 points from his first 8 games at St Etienne ( exactly the same as his early start with us ) and then things began to unravel....
