It’s infuriating. I can’t think of a worse message.

It’s a bloody good job we didn’t pick Puke after Pearson. That wonderful season would never have happened.

Said that today.

It's all mentality, it's massive.

And this guy loses any advantage he could get from it.
 
To borrow some Noel Gallagher...

You’ve Got to make it happen.

Which is why Puel has to go. There is no inclination to make it happen. In my life I have never settled. At Leicester City’s best they have never settled.

I’d rather crash and burn setting a standard at its highest then fizzle out saying oh no I can’t.

Indeed. But there are those with the advantages I’ve described for whom it is easier to ‘make it happen’ and then a whole selection of clubs, ourselves included, who would like to ‘make it happen’. We won’t succeed just by trying. Indeed we might try and never succeed. It is definitely the case though that if we do not try we will not succeed.

So I’m okay with ambition. We should always be striving to finish as high as possible. I just don’t think it’s defeatist to recognise the things that make achievement difficult.

I agree on Puel’s position, but for different reasons. It’s just too boring. I suspect those of us who have reached that conclusion on Puel’s position haven’t done so because we think being inside the top eight isn’t good enough. I’d be delighted with a manager who had us inside the top eight playing attacking football.
 
3 points from our last 6 games against bottom half of the table teams.

Pathetic, really.
 
If you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got.

We persist with three defensive midfielders irrespective of the opposition.
 
Get the **** out of the club you ****.

“Boos not his concern.” Well he should be ****ing concerned.

The sooner this stubborn prick leaves the better.
 
I think that’s a language issue again, honestly. Admittedly, if he intends to communicate with English-speaking media he really should learn to speak English to a better standard or hire a translator, but I really don’t feel like he was saying he doesn’t give a shit. I think he was just doing the Puelese version of “I’ll focus on the team and the players until I’m told otherwise”.

Peut-être.
 
Our results since the start of December. -

Watford won 2-0
Fulham drew 1-1
Tottenham lost 2-0
Palace lost 1-0
Man City lost on pens and out of cup
Chelsea won 1-0
Man City won 2-1
Cardiff lost 0-1
Everton won 1-0
Newport lost 2-1 out of cup
Southampton lost 2-1

Overall record
P11 W4 D1 L6 and managed to get knocked out of both cups, this has included 3 defeats out of last 4 to teams below us including one being in league 2. Also all 4 victories have come off the back of us playing more counter attack and less possession so in effect playing our old way..........playing Puelball has seen 1 draw and 6 defeats, surely he has to go and people cannot continue to defend this shit that we are in transition, we are not this is his style, it was the same last season and now even though he has bought in a real number 10 and a right back we are still playing turgid, slow, possession based football that struggles to break down teams that sit back.

The results we are getting against the likes of Fulham, Palace, Cardiff and Southampton are more demonstrative of the way we are heading longer term and the effect his style has on our results than the snatch and grab victories against Chelsea and Man City, we cannot rely on these types of results every season to get us to 40 points and safety, it will catch up with us and I truly believe if he stays beyond the summer, next season we will be in a relegation scrap, the warning signs are there for all to see, he needs to go and soon.
 
Sometimes it's useful to see things colour-coded. Helps grasp the situation.

Can anyone see any trends in the way we win/draw/lose?

Yes, certainly. Except for THAT season, and numerous relegation and near relegation fights - that's exactly the trajectory that LCFC have described in every top flight season over the past 50 years.
