Bazly Posted 26 January 2021 Share Posted 26 January 2021 It is an interesting footnote through history if you look through the LC annals of managerial win ratio and top at the moment is one BR. Pearson comes close but most of his games were in the lower divisions so probably that knocks down the relative achievement level a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players were not the big problem during Puel's tenure. Had he worked with them rather than pursuing his own flawed and stubborn ways, he could easily have found some success. That's what really frustrated me - he had no flexibility, he wanted to move on all the immortals, he could have made few simple tweaks to keep players on board but his way of working alienated him from players, the backroom team and other club staff. The way certain people (players and otherwise) were treated by him was an utter disgrace and it leaves a bitter taste. I wanted him (as with every manager) to be successful because that means the team I support is doing well. Only had himself to blame for his own downfall. And when he did subsequent interviews he said he "wouldn't change anything" about how he did things with us, that tells you plenty about his mentality. That bit you quoted wasn't my view but in a wider piece about the perception of the club when we were looking to appoint before choosing Puel. I've no doubt Puel alienated a lot of people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS1413 Posted 26 January 2021 Share Posted 26 January 2021 We have had a few managers who have been able to work with existing talent within our squad. This is the first manager for a while who I feel can build a team of 11 quality players mixing existing and new, young and old. The respect the players seem to have for him says a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SO1 Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 (edited) 18 month contract for Tuchel at Chelsea. Hmmmmm the dark side, @fuchsntf irresistible. Edited 27 January 2021 by SO1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post STUHILL Posted 27 January 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 27 January 2021 I've wanted Rodgers here for ages, but even I wouldn't have predicted he would be this good for us. Feels like he joined us at exactly the right time though and with the new training ground, stadium expansion and a very talented squad at his disposal, I can see him here for at least another couple of years and likely beyond that if Top continues to give him decent support in the transfer market and we continue to finish inside the top 6. There will be some bumps along the way and patches of poor results and form, but I hope by now, fans have seen enough of him to know that he is a good fit for us and more often than not, he gets things right. It really feels like he is building something very special here and we are a joy to watch and support. What a time to be a Leicester fan! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScrumpyJack Posted 27 January 2021 Share Posted 27 January 2021 Dunno if many of you keep up with TrueGeordie's The Kick Off, but one of the regulars on there (and a TalkShite reporter) Rory Jennings has shared the coldest hot take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particularly liked the understated "miss him every day" responses......largely sarcasm, I presume, but not 100% sure given league position. Perhaps LCFC could follow suit and wish happy birthday to Harry Maguire, Riyad Mahrez or some other esteemed ex-employee......such as Dennis Wise?

fox766 Posted 30 January 2021 Share Posted 30 January 2021 Quite a pleasant read this tbf. Also imo just shows how far we have come and that slowly people's thoughts about us are starting to change (apart from sky obviously and their favoured few). https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9203469/Leicester-Brendan-Rodgers-ambitious-charge-no-longer-shock.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winteriscoming Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Thought he got it right bringing soyuncu on in the second half and changing formation. As Leeds were getting in far too easily. Can’t understand why he didn’t bring nacho on. Chasing the game and the 1 striker we have available to bring on. Just hope we don’t have a second half collapse like last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, playing 3 at the back was probably more impactful at the time than swapping Perez for Nacho, and then you're never going to see the third sub till later on.

Corky Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 I normally am really annoyed after defeats but I'm not today- he probably should've played three at the back in the first half to compensate for the lack of Ndidi and we got through the second half without much trouble until their goal. The likes of Fulham and West Ham were half-hearted and poor at best- today I felt we had some chances and wasted so many set-pieces. He talks about us acting like a big club- now we need to prove it on Wednesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember, when we've got 2 or 3 injuries to key players we just aren't the same threat. We haven't got the strength in depth with the quality. We lose that threat in behind with Vardy, we lose the power and dimantling of the opposition by Wilf, we even missed Praet today. The personel on the pitch today wasn't good enough to beat Leeds, forget "the manager got it wrong", it's clear to see.
