Surley he was addressing that over the summer though if he knew it was a problem? Im not saying he’s telling the players to not create chances ofcourse he isn’t but I can tell you he’s a lot happier than I think you’re trying to take from his interviews.

Oh and fans complaining about players that do pass more aggressively giving the ball away all the time doesn't help, neither does massive groaning in the stands at games, if you want progressive football and passing you have to accept that at times it won't come off and you will lose the ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the moaning around me is when we pass back not when we try something forward so I can’t comment on that. He might have commented on that but I know for a fact he’s a lot happier than you appear to think he is. We have players that will play it forwards. To say it’s the players and none of them will pass forwards because they’re scared is a little foolish. As in anyone who turns on the team and manager then flops back every other week.

He might want more changes created, but if you think the slowing the ball down and moving it around isn’t a direct approach from him then where do you think it’s come from?

As I said before I know for a fact he’s a lot happier than you appear to think he is. of course that is but instead of mocking him about how he's says balance maybe people should understand what he means by it, he wants to have more of the ball and at times slow things down because that's how you control the game, but he has always said he wants them to go for it when its on, its not one other the other its a bit of both and about being aggressive in their passing at the right time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puel doesn't want us just playing slow, side to side football and is clear about that - but he also doesn't want us playing as we were; Morgan and Simpson just punting it long like the balls a bloody grenade. He'd rather us play incisive football but is happy for us to move the ball around and just retain possession while looking for openings to appear as teams are pulled around if there isn't one already present. He's obviously not happy with us playing it overly safe at times, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's happier with our ability to maintain possession and just ease it around now compared to when he first arrived.

All I was saying is Puel is a lot happier than jimmy thinks he is with the safe passing. Because I know he is. I’m not saying we should revert back to pumping it long I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned that? I didn’t mean to if I did though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, might have done better with the chances. Was impressed with his industry though. Looked busy all night filling in different role. Polite question, were you there or watch a stream?

But Jimmys clearly not saying Puel is unhappy with safe passing, part of Puels gameplan is safe passing. What Puel is unhappy with, and what's he's been clear about, is that we're not then moving the ball quickly enough when the safe passing pulls players out of position.
