Puel sets the side up. Too gung ho way from home. This is always likely to happen.  He has to shoulder most of the blame. Stop making excuses for him.

But he got bollocked for being too defensive at Southampton. We can’t have a section of the support spend all international break saying it’s great watching these young players develop and not expect they will be days and halves when their naivety captures up with them. 

 

Accept the process or go into a Big Sam/Moyes West Ham esque cycle. 

 

Yeah its shit, but can’t go calling out managers for giving it a go

I thought everyone was fed up with him being defensive?

Albrighton coming on for Vardy and Gray as the centre forward will save us.

Every player is a round peg in a round hole, none of the players have played well enough whatsoever.

That’s bs tbh, plenty of moaners after we’d beaten wolves and Southampton because of the performance. 

You don't go 3 nil down being unlucky...you make your own luck...we've been shit

[Scotch]

We're a possession based team that can't pass the ball. We offer very little in the way of creating chances and we are poor at the back. 

 

Yes, we've not had a terrible start to the season but it's not told the whole story, we were lucky to beat Southampton, were outplayed against wolves and are being destroyed against Bournmouth. Something needs to change. We can't keep sending out the same players on the same system and expect something different than what we are getting. 

[Tielemans63]

I think this second half will tell us a lot about Puel.

I'm just gonna throw this out there. We were mental not to take £75m for Maguire.

Did we even get a concrete bid?

Anyone got Fat Sam's mobile number? 

And people say we don't shoot enough under Puel...

[rachhere]

This is the weirdest match... we really could have got multiple goals. Shows how much we rely on Harry's steadiness - just not there today. Gray has no space today... instead of the multiple marking we used to see on Mahrez, they seem to have switched to him instead. I feel we are paying the price a bit for having multiple international players, who seem fatigued from the international break. Ghezzal still looking great though (I always like to finish on a positive!)

Not at the races today.

Frustrating because this is the one team, I really wanted us to beat.

 

We have been fortunate not to be down by more.

Like to see Nididi and Gray step up next half.

 

Can't remember for certain. I think it was Waddle who said. Players go into relax mode for about 6 month, after signing a new contract.

 

I'm expecting dull football from now. 

No way, is Puel going to let this happen again.

Why bother buying the new centre backs if we persist with Morgan? 

Exactly, he gets done by pace every time. Why can’t Puel see it.

I’ve supported Leicester since 99 you absolute boring twat!

Bet you wanted Ranieri out when we drew 0-0 with Bournemouth in 15/16 didn’t you? If it was up too you we’d have a new manager every 3 or 4 games.

It’s extremely disappointing because they need a bollocking at half time and they aren’t going to get it. 

Sorry. But you know this how?

We have a tendency of shooting ourselves in the foot under Puel...

I do hope this is not the start of another wrecked half a season like the second part to last campaign.

[foxes_rule1978]

We will win 4-3 no worries here, just the Puel way give the opposition a head start

What more do people need to know?

 

Slow learners on here it seems.

[Bryn]

I'm gonna say as well, this is stupendous tactical naivety from Puel. Morgan doesn't like athletic strikers, he's never been good against strikers with a huge physical presence and Bournemouth have a few of them. Even going back to the Championship he's been bullied by strong strikers. Maguire is similar. To leave the two of them exposed against a side like Bournemouth is a disgrace.

They don’t need to mark Gray. He is no real threat

We clearly haven’t been shit though. We could easily get something from this game, we’ve had chances, just need to take them.

I’m struggling to see how shambolic individual play is his fault. Enlighten me. 

 

For Christ’s sake, Vardy failed to finish 3 clear cut chances and Maddison squandered a 4th. We didn’t start slow. It’s just more evidence that we need to convert chances.

 

Agree with this. (Normal pitch forks, torches and agenda pushing on the match thread)

 

assuming your our name is accurate, how is Florence effecting things?

This half time score line is an absolute dream for the Puel Out Brigade on this forum. 

It's the scoreline they've been longing for

You haven’t completed your apprenticeship yet then ......... I mean we win the bloody league in your first twenty years !! 

 

Am am I the only person concerned that Maddison is playing too high and because he is easily by passed, we are left light in centre midfield???

...and played well against man utd and for large parts against Liverpool.
