It's hard to look forward to this with Puel in charge. We may well find ourselves watching Maddison or Vardy partnering Maguire given his approach to team selection.Horrible - but look forward to Morgan not playing the next two games though
It's the nature of our implosion that is so frustrating. We know we are going to be a goal down before the first 15 minutes are out but then we often have these moments of excellence in games and patches where we look like we could go on and score a bucket load. Then it happens; the inevitable shit storm of players making stupid decisions and/or the manager making bizarre substitutions and/or tactical decisions.Said before this game that it could be a chance for Puel to put concerns to bed.
Instead we properly ****ed it up, the same problems persist and we are back at square one.
Shit result, stupid decisions from players and manager. All a hodgepodge and anyone who says a manager isn’t responsible for his teams disciplinary record is being naive.
Like Pop. I’m fed up with this now. Bet the atmosphere down the ground is crap.
Awful performances from Amartey, Morgan, Ndidi and Vardy. Meh from everyone else.
Iheanacho assisted a goal. Vardy missed a sitter and ballsed up several good positions.Do you really think Iheanacho was better than Vardy?

Like the good position Vardy ballsed up because he crossed the ball to where Nacho should have been, but he was ambling forward instead of sprinting into the box?
I’m not sure about the centre back scenario, but the right back situation is 100% Puel’s **** up.I've been Puelis out for a long time but the start of this season has me concerned about the bigger picture. I'd be reassured that switching managers would solve shit by him openly admitting he's a ****ing idiot or something because I can't see any logic in our transfer activity.
We obviously needed another central defender to partner Maguire. Once shit got stirred up we needed at least 2 in should he leave. What we've got is 3 who the manager clearly thinks are shite. So shite he'd not bring one on to replace a player determined to get sent off. Either that or he's a ****ing idiot.
We needed a right back as he doesn't like simpson. Off we go shopping to buy an expensive right sided player who clearly is no more of a defender than John ****ing Curtis. Then we stick a Jack of all trades, master of cock all at right back.
For a distinctly average team we have a number of expensive duds on our books. Silva, Iborra, Ian Nachos before going into Salami etc. Does make me wonder....
Shambles.
He still needs a slap for not taking Morgan off though.
He assumed Vardy would have shot, as everyone else in the stadium did also. But yes in hindsight he shouldn’t have assumed.

This is exactly my view of him. There is no doubt he should have been breaking his neck to get into the box but instead he was a spectator. He just doesn't look happy to be playing for us and it's unbelievably frustrating given that we have seen the talent he has in patches. It's hard to see him as anything other than exceptionally lazy at the moment.Even if he thought Vardy would shoot, he should have been following up for a rebound.
I find Nacho to be our most frustrating player. He clearly has ability, but too often he wanders around looking like he doesn't give a shit. There were times in the game today when he worked hard pressing players, and others when he looked like he'd rather be anywhere else.
