I wouldn't say that he dropped some big clangers defensive wise today.

 

He also tidied up the clangers of others and stepped in defensively on a number of occasions.

 

I thought he had a great game.

Today we had 4 21 year olds in Ndidi Maddison Chilly and Kelechi, Gray at 22, Ricardo at 24 and 3 games into Premier league career, Amartey at 24 and very little football at RB consistently and Mendy, who’s only run of Prem games came at the horrendous run late in Ranieri’s time in charge.

This group isn’t going to pull up trees every week and they’ll all have disappointing games but I can’t look at the above and not be enthusiastic about the direction the squad is taking with the likes of Barnes, Choudhury, Soyuncu, Benkovic and Johnson in the wings for the next couple of years.

I think they are frauds actually (one is from Yorkshire and one Scotland). Anyway, It's Somerset. Have you ever been to Ashton Gate or Yeovil (yes, I was there on that Tuesday night).

You are correct, Somerset. Yes, I have been to Ashton Gate. Ever since that time always had a soft spot for Rovers.

What about tactics? Game Management etc, what you have stated are just excuses, CP has had a transfer window to execute expectations set by the owners, this is what mattees, not hyperbole about why we fail.

Interesting you mention expectations set by the owners, because as per the matchday programme vs Wolves:

Quote

“Our primary ambition is a long-term one – to make Leicester City a sustainable and consistently competitive force in the Premier League,” wrote Srivaddhanaprabha.

“Season by season, we look for progress, which can come in many forms. Last season, under Claude Puel, we saw the start of an evolution in our squad, to a different, more methodical style of play and the further emergence of young players from our academy such as Ben Chilwell, Hamza Choudhury and Harvey Barnes.


“This season, our evolution will continue with new players in the squad and I’m excited to see the progress we can make.

“At the end of the season, results and league position must always be put into context and it is in these broader distinctions that we monitor whether the club is successfully pursuing that long-term ambition.” 

 

Asked for his message to supporters, Srivaddhanaprabha said: “It would be a message of thanks for continuing to show faith in our vision, for supporting the team and for proudly representing Leicester City around the country and all over the world.

“A football club means nothing without its fans and we will continue to keep you at the heart of every decision we make for your club.

“We have retained a number of our senior experienced players, complemented by a young, gifted squad this season, led by a manager in Claude Puel who has a fine record in the development of outstanding young talent.

“With the full force of the Blue Army behind them, they have the potential to reach great heights. Send them into every game with your belief, your love your passion for Leicester City and watch them flourish.

“Together we can continue to drive forward.”

So, he's basically doing exactly what the owners want him to do, and winning games to boot. The irony is, the Chairman is asking for the support of the fans and to show faith in their vision, which is kind of the exact opposite of what a small but vocal minority are doing.

Hyperbole is describing two wins on the bounce as a 'fail'

But we’ve only failed in perceived expectations by excitable fans. Not results.

The rest is hyperbole

Against Man Utd in the third game of last season our average age of the starting XI was 28, today it was 24.4 with an English nucleus of the team. If that doesn't make you excited/hopeful then I don't think Claude Puel will ever convince you. We're totally transformed from a year ago, yes we're not setting the world alight but the results are coming and these young players are only going to improve. Even if we went and lost the next 8 games and Lord Claude got the sack, he's still put us in a much healthier position, something we needed to do 12 months earlier.
