Sometimes it's more important to be a lucky manager as opposed to a good manager. Puel and us are certainly using up our luck. Most bizarre decision was to sub Gray & Maddison when they were down to 10. Anyway a wins a win. 

It wasn't Madders best game and he was largely ineffectual so I understand that one and thought Ghezall had some nice touches (his chip) when he came on.

Gray - totally agree. Despite some poor decisions he played quite well and looked like one of our most dangerous players throughout.

6 points from the first three games with Man United away included is an excellent return. 

 

Shame its not 7 points now but that would be greedy :p

 

Plenty to be optimistic about, if we end up finishing 7th then who cares how we play? 

[Max Power]

Have we won a Premier League game without Mahrez and Vardy playing before? I reckon no. Important step.

That faceplant on the concrete isn't going to do the concrete much good. 

Love a bit of slab-on-slab action me.

well, I have expressed it, expanded on it and now you understand. 

so there was nothing rich about my original post in the match thread - happy days.

we can all have a wonderful evening. 

You think? 

"I just can't for the life of me figure out why this fvcking football club can't have a single god-damn transfer window where we ACTUALLY IMPROVE THE FVCKING TEAM so we can stop putting round pegs in square holes. 

same fvcking thing year after year after year after year"

Fair play.

Puel generally seems to find a way to win, how much of it is luck I don’t know but he did at Southampton and now here. 

This league is full of average teams and we are just a little bit better than them. 

I fancy us against Liverpool next week. 

 

[Beechey]

The step up in gear after we conceded was immediate and so noticeable. Some of the interplay between Maddison, Iheanacho, Gray and Ricardo in tight spaces was fantastic as well. Really need to start the games better though.

My dad supports Norwich and I live in Norfolk. Used to get loads of abuse from Nahrich fans in the late eighties when they were decent and we were not.

This past two games has given that horrible remembrance when Peter Taylor was winning games but we was playing dreadful!

Well, we won six in 1994/95 season for a start ??

But take your point...

[FrankieADZ]

see Hughes is saying the red card was harsh, typical from him 

[Legend_in_blue]

A "daisy cutter".

Hughes is such a bad loser.

I like your optimism.

Some might call it foolish, I'd call it insane.

I was thinking of that too, we got to the summit before plunging, doubt that will happen this time because the owners would not allow it if things go wrong

[RowlattsFox]

Thought Mendy was good again, tidy and didn’t do too much wrong. Going to be a consistent 7 out of 10 player. Chilwell good again. 

Looks like Iheanacho isn’t going to take his opportunity, poor again. Clearly not a lone front man. 

Problem with young forwards is decision making is inconsistent but if we stick with them they could work.

Which is amazing considering he has so much practice at it.

[Bert]

I’ll take any win even more so when it’s going to piss off Mark Hughes. Ever so excited for his moaning. Again though it’s took us going behind to start playing. Chilwell was fantastic today I thought. 

 

I think after the first three league games we are where a lot of people would’ve expected us to be.

Wolves and soton pressed us high and hard ...... eventually that catches up with you

Yes, and the mighty Wolves held the Champions elect!

[psychonaut]

Played crap and won. Such a dreadful 1st half, need to start the games much better or else we’ll get punished at some point.

He bought a load of crap though and didn't have a clue.

Puel has changed our style of play, fazing out the old guard and has bought players that are better than we had, Whilst the performance haven't been great over the last two games you can see progression whereas Taylor was a charlatan without a plan.
