Ghezzal should never play for us again. He’s in the Zsolt Laczko. Actually I take that back, Zsolt actually had one good game (on his debut).

Almost certainly we’ll see him play against Newport in a frightening front 3 alongside Diabete and Kelechi.
 
how can you set up to counter attack Cardiff? they didn't come to attack

Not sure his post said we should?

Old man Vardy on the scoresheet again, nice! I didn't see any of the game but listened on the radio, sounded a right treat. Great advert for the Prem really.
 
Well 3 points is good.

And now I know what it looks like when one team succeeds in boring another into submission. I’d be amazed if there is a worse game today.

Still. 7th place.
 
Boring as ****. Both teams absolutely dreadful. But three points is three points.

Teams really should sack Marco Silva after three months before he then does his usual bottle job.

Ghezzal should never play for us again. He’s in the Zsolt Laczko category. Actually I take that back, Zsolt actually had one good game (on his debut).

He made a tackle in his first game that was nothing short of magic. He must have slid about 20 feet.
 
Yes, fair post. Second half was so much better. I’d argue Albrighton should always start but he could well have been shattered physically.

Choudhury put Wilf to shame. Thought he was great and it’s a nonsense to suggest that Wilf had more potential for creating things against Cardiff.

Ricardo is looking so good at the moment, happy for him to be playing forward if it means Simpson can shore things up a bit.
think Choudhury was rested that game as he's played the 2 Man City games and the Chelsea one and looked as knackered when subbed against Man City as Albrighton did Vs Cardiff
I'm not advocating that. I'm just saying that slow, pointless, passing at home is the wrong approach.
I don't think Puel has ever said he wants slow possession players need to take responsibility over the tempo of the game too

I wonder how many young kids went to their first ever game today and have been immediately put off football for life.
 
Choudhury’s league games this season:

Chelsea (A) - WIN
Man City (H) - WIN
Everton (A) - WIN

Well done young man - you’ve had your chance and you’ve taken it, unlike so many other players this season. The likes of Silva and Iborra need to take note.

One of the first names on the team sheet for me.

It also makes a mockery of the fact he didn’t start against Cardiff. Oh that’s right, he’d have been too tired and knackered to play that one too I’m guessing?

It's got the magic of the fa cup written all over it.

I’d be amazed if there’s a worse game this year. Already. On day one.

Sorry, but I’m fairly sure someone quoted Puel as stating Choudhury was left out against Cardiff for the tactical reasons that he needed people who would create chances.

yeah which is why he brought in Gray, he wouldn't have been talking about Papy or Wilf in that respect

Yes I’m aware of that, but my point is that Choudhury should have stayed in ahead of Wilf.

Puel cocked up against Cardiff by not playing Choudry, got it spot on today good 3 points.

TBF though, none of the regular midfield 3 that are playing atm are likely to create that much as they are all very similar - high energy and like to get stuck in.

This is our problem at home against the lesser opposition.

It’s what happened at Southampton and it’s what has been happening for more than a year here. If it isn’t what Puel asks his teams to do then he has been bloody unlucky in encountering two sets of players who, before his arrival, played fast paced high pressing football and then just decided they wanted to be boring instead.

Either he wants them to play in that style, he can’t communicate properly what style he wants them to play, or he has no control whatsoever over the teams he manages.
 
Once again Albrighton comes on and makes an immediate impact, upping the tempo and looking to get vardy away. It has been muted on here more than once that we run the risk of losing the likes of maguire, Chilwell etc. For me the biggest risk is that if we keep leaving Albrighton out we could lose him. He would walk into almost any side in the prem.
 
First half was a complete shitfest we were absolutely woeful, however the Albrighton change injected some much needed intensity and 2nd half we looked more threatening. I just wish Claude would stop with tippy tappy low intensity continental type of play because Vardy looks isolated and we create feck all, but as soon as we press and play with high intensity and tempo we look a completely different team.
