SJN, do you need help learning how to copy and paste text?

Surely it's easier than doing it using images? And the problem with images is they can't be found in searches, and can't be read by screen readers used by blind people.

 

[SJN-Fox]

No. It's just sometimes easier to use the windows snipping tool.

Well yeah but the lineup is different too. Lewis started the home game I believe.

If it's any comfort, I went Stamford bridge last season for the 0-0 and it was the best passing performance I've ever seen from us, played them off the park.

Obviously couldn't score but you won't be expecting us to.

Startling admission from Jamie Vardy..... @vardy7 says Claude Puel’s progressive, possession-based style of play doesn’t suit his fast-paced style, which feeds off an early ball into space. But it is something he is trying to adapt to, and needs to work harder at.


One of the greatest goal scoring threats we've ever had is now being nullified because the manager want to force him to play in a style that doesn't suit him.

The sooner Puel's gone, the better, before he destroys the entire squad.

That's the difference in a nutshell.

Under Puel, your best asset has to change their game in order to fit a rigid system. Vardy cannot be what he's the best in the league at.

Under Ranieri, it was the complete opposite. Look at what you have and find a way that maximises their talent.

"It does get a bit frustrating but we are transitioning into a different style of play. I think we've just got to keep working hard on it and eventually it will get us going forward that bit quicker because when we get into attacking positions eventually the ball will get picked out for some of my runs."

For someone who comes across as being a bit of a thicko, the wording of the above is beautifully crafted, and says more than it should
