In the minds of some of his detractors on here, whatever happens there would still be reason to get rid. Play expansive open football and lose - we need results. Play defensive football and win - boring to watch. Play defensive football and lose. Meltdown. Play open football and win - he's still a boring man. Keep the strongest team - no imagination. Change the team - always over-rotating. But seriously, I don't think the last games will make any difference. I guess if Puel wants out, he knows it now, and the same goes for the Board.

Ok, to be a bit clearer. I've heard the argument that he's a Frenchman who's only managed in the French league, which lacks the kudos of Spain, Italy or Germany, therefore he's not good enough. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Actually, and sadly, no. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I didn't say foreign. I have spoken with fans who specifically seem to dislike the French. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Thank you. The technical term that I've been looking for. I'll add it to my vocabulary. But I do wonder how much of the hate comes from which of these factors: 1. He's French 2. He has reasonable but limited English, which makes his delivery seem even more stilted. 3. He isn't an extrovert - more quiet and considering and some interpret that as not knowing what he's doing. 4. They had higher expectations for this season 5. He isn't a known "big name" 6. Something else. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Now you're just being silly. On the whole the passing was good. Yes, of course the odd one went astray when they tried to be less predictable. No doubt if they hadn't been trying those passes you'd be moaning about safe and negative football. It really is getting silly when, to support your case, you have to make up ridiculously false statements. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Utter gibberish. The game was nothing like that. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Right and wrong. What's that got to do with it anyway? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I'd like to see Long/Gabbiadini together from the start at least once. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Just loads of idiots jumping on the bandwagon. Have you read some of the attempts at comments? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Sadly, the growing number of negative critical fans who expect glorious success all the time is beginning to contribute to the atmosphere at home games. What's happened to the principle of supporting and encouraging the team, whatever? There was plenty to be encouraged by last night, but it seemed the frustration of not getting the final pass and finishing right became overwhelming. We have too many Johnny-come-lately fickle fans.

You're sounding like a stuck record. We simply did not play that way yesterday. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Good grief. A balanced, sane comment. And accurate. Thank you! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Oh dear. Very few keepers would have got anywhere near either of the goals. Yes, Davis gave the ball away on occasions but that was because he was trying to make things happen with the creative pass. He did not have a bad game. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

In the cold light of day I just read a number of reports of the game and am greatly relieved to see that all journalists covering the game saw what I saw, the real game, rather than your agenda-driven interpretation. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I agree that the combination of Tadic having a mediocre game, and Redmond a poor one cost us that game. We created well and they were often put in good positions that got wasted. Plenty of good performances, though, and I can't blame Puel for the two players who should be the most creative failing to deliver. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

That's just idiotic. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

No it doesn't. We played good football, lots of attacking intent. The final pass and finishing let us down, but overall, I would not criticise Puel or the team for that. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

That simply wasn't the game I've just watched. We had purpose, pace, intensity, but just lacked the final quality and movement needed in the final third. Tadic was a little below par, Redmond had a poor game. Gabbiadini was isolated but worked hard. There were plenty of good performances. The biggest problem was, when the full backs got into good advanced positions, there was a lack of movement inside them resulting in hopeful crosses with not enough players attacking the ball, or it had to come backwards. We tried to play an open, fast, expansive game but that inevitably game them chances, and the difference was they had the quality to put two away. Otherwise very little between the teams. But there is no way you can call that a bad or boring performance. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
