My only concern is that I believe he has changed the team and playing all these young lads thinking we are already safe...looking at the table I think it could be a record year for points earned by a relegated team over a 38 game season.
Please don't get me wrong....I'm not a fan of Puel as a manager...I like what he is doing for the young players, giving them opportunities and if nothing else, adding value to them if they are to be moved on at any point. AND we did look good yesterday and should of won the game easily...
1. Player of the season will be? Mahrez
2. The manager on the last game of the season will be? Mancini
3. Best of the new signings? Iheanacho.
4. The highlight of the season will be? FA Cup Final
5. The low point of the season will be? not coverting cup form into the league
6. Flop of the season...
Question is has Shakey got what it takes to make the big calls?? Gotta say 20+mill for Gary and 30 Mill for Drinky (if true) looks like it would be decent business. think Lawrence is more than an able replacement.
I would guess it is more like 2 mill with add ons dependant on promotion etc..
I also happen to think we have received a fantastic price for someone who is in the last year of his contract I believe and would of featured very little.
A masterclass in shit tactics, team selection & game management. And a masterclass in arrogance during the post match interviews.
I've been a supporter of his throughout, but this is too much. I fear Top has made a massive mistake in talking his dad round. In my opinion he seems to be grumbling...
Apologies if this has been raised (and i'm sure it has) but i've not gone through the thread.
My questions are:
Why did he change a winning team?
How has Schlupp made such a miraculous recovery?
Why have we 17 odd million pounds worth of attackers on the bench?
Has he been called up yet? Personally didn't understand why he got into the starting Eleven so regularly, but fair play to him, he seems to be getting better and better.
Big talking point on Soccer Saturday today was how many decisions refs have got wrong with Penalty decisions, in particular about people diving / not diving and Handballs that have & haven't been given. Can't help but wonder if the ref has watched the programme this morning and been influenced...
I hope the club have handled themselves appropriately in all of this, it's not McArthur' fault and shouldn't be played for a fool. I personally would of liked to see him sign as well. After all Cambiasso is only here for a year and McArthur is only 26. Unless Nigel doesn't see him being good...
I'm sure if you ask the players, the staff or the owners, they would all of said that they wanted to win last night. Unfortunately the strength in depth is obviously not quite there, mixed with the age old mistake of seriously underestimating the opposition. With the later being more to blame...
I coach a senior team and we had a game so I couldn't listen in, so I don't know how James got his injury? I assume It was on the training ground?
It just shows how thin the squad is, I would expect a couple of Lewis holtby type player loans from Nige. He'll have something up his sleeve (I hope)
Whilst I've personally not bought a shirt for some time I understand why people do if they are regular wearers of it. Because If people do wear the shirt on a regular basis then the cost per wear is actually extremely good value. I'm sure most people on this forum have something in their...
1. Where are we going to finish? 17th
2. Who will be our player of the year? Drinkwater
3. Who will be our top scorer and how many goals will they get? Vardy 12
4. What will our best result be and against who? 4-1 West Brom
5. Which player will be the biggest flop at this level? Schlupp...
I'd put myself forward as his replacement but I couldn't stand working along side stringer. He'd have to go before i'd accept the role :)
Maybe our own 4-4-2 will step into the breach. Maybe he can shed some light on what's going on? (Not sure he'd be allowed to though)
Wait till it all starts going wrong,i'm friends with someone who played for him and when they started struggling at the wrong end of the table he says Bruce started doing all sorts of strange things and it was clear he'd lost the plot. Managing is easy when its all going great, but when the...
Very impressed with the quality of the Under 21's. Especially as a number of more senior players where missing.
Also some very impressive individuals that will be in the Championship next year. Be nice to see some more quality young English players at the KP.
Is it me or have we struck gold with the owners. I've just read Top's interview and when you consider some other owners and what they've done to their clubs, I'm obviously thinking mainly about Cardiff & Birmingham. But when you read Top saying being a Premier League team is reward enough for...
Did big Nige go mardy when he thought everyone was leaving?
Think he's had one too many :) and when he was rambling on about Drinkwater i was cringing.
Now this young kid looks exciting, of all the rumours flying around this looks like one that would be very welcome. Only time will tell if there's any truth in it though.
