Is this a joke, what options did he have?  It was not rocket science even my boy could have come with that one.  Come on guys, the only person that made that team tick was Vardy, the formation of My kind would make no difference, the team.only had believe until he came on the pitch.

It really did make a difference though. Of course Vardy galvanized the team but going with 3 in the middle was a bold call and they were all outstanding. We would have been 1 striker light otherwise and still on the back foot.

What did it do before Vardy?  Nothing much, it was a tactical play any under 7's Sunday league manager would do.

[Legend_in_blue]

Puel clearly has an eye on Tuesday night with today's team selection.

 

Vardy starts and doesn't last the 90 and potentially he doesn't play Tuesday. 

 

I'd expect a strong line up on Tuesday night.  Let's be honest, a 7th/8th to mid table finish is as good as it will get in the league this season - but take a cup competition seriously enough (this time round) and I'd take that.

[Bert]

So, is Maddison suspended for Tuesday? As yellows are only competition specific?

This argument is fine, except we've been pretty poor to watch since the title win, largely, and what we're watching now is not as bad as that was.

100% agree

 

Claudio’s second season anti-football was awful. 

Shakey is no manager, and it showed. 

 

Doesn’t mean we need to celebrate Claude’s dreariness, though.

It's all games, Vardy missed Fleetwood as one of his suspended matches.

I didn't find the 2nd half dreary whatsoever.

[Unabomber]

Credit to puel today can’t legislate for Maddison being a ****ing idiot. Not a bad point really but we are so inconsistent I have no idea what I am going to see each week.

First half?

I enjoyed Man U away, Wolves at home, Cardiff away.... I can forgive a good start then bad football compounded by a sending off.

[Sir Shep]

I think Kevin is a couple short to be fair!

You’re happy with Claude. 

 

I’m not. 

 

Neither opinion is is more valid than the other. 

 

 

 

 

 

Btw - United were there for the taking and Wolves we were lucky as fvck...!!!!

[Ian Nacho]

Regardless of that red card decision, how awful was that referee?

Speak for yourself - I just don't condemn him when what he's producing is better than what we got for 2 seasons, largely,

Always - but I also know we could do an awful lot worse too. I could give you a list of undesirable managers if you like...

[The Horse's Mouth]

I can't get over how baffling that line-up was, I get keeping Vardy on his toes but Shinjis had barely any game time this season and when he as he's been utter dog

Why would you want to do that?

 

There are loads of Claude supporters on here. I am simply stating that his style of football eats away at my soul a little bit every week. 

 

The fact that it could be worse under a more undesirable manager doesn’t really change that for me.

Vardy is recovering from an injury and Puel is thinking about Tuesday

 

Nacho had a bad game against Burnley and didnt warrant a start today based on that. However he came on and did well, almost got a winner, so Puel's decision there seems like a good one to me

Yes Shinji hasnt offered much recently, but with no other stand out options it is not illogical to give him a chance

 

Nothing that baffling about Puel's decisions

 

And in hindsight, even though Maddison got himself sent off like a muppet we got a draw away from home and Brighton are no mugs

 

Man United failed to score at home to Palace today. I appreciate the point we won today, not to be sneezed at

Me too don’t know why CP started him on the bench again certainly didn’t look like he was struggling with an injury today !

Because he's had an injury, because he's trained one day, because we tried to not risk him for fear of aggravating it. But... he is was there if we needed him.

 

I really don't get what people's issue is. You'd all be bitching and moaning had he started and pulled up within 5 minutes.

 VARDY HAS A GROIN ISSUE ..... WE ARE TRYING TO PROTECT HIM 

 

if we are clever then he will be able to play every game over the next six weeks 

 

Bigger question would be why Kelechi didn’t start although after two games for Nigeria, I guess Claude wants him to start Tuesday with vards

He has to be trolling, surely?

 

Nobody that thick could even switch on a computer.

 Really?

 

Our current style of play hurts my eyes.

I want us to play with a bit of dynamism and enthusiasm. 

 

Win or lose, don’t mind so much. 

 

A year of turgid, slow, predictable, sideways, Puelball is starting to have an effect on me. 

 

I love the youth concept that he has, I detest the football that he plays. 

I cant imagine Puel actually wants them to play without enthusaism or dynamism.

How is playing Shinji as a lone striker not baffling, he's only relatively useful in a two. Even with Nacho's poor Burnley game he easily warrants a place over Shinji

[Reg Vardy]

Hasn’t,t there been a rule change? I think Maddison can play Tuesday.....
