Sadly, no. Nothing I've seen so far this season gives me any confidence whatsoever in Puel's ability to turn things around. He seems woefully out of his depth in the PL and too many of our players appear to be regressing under him.
Already ruled out by the looks of it

Tonight was nothing whatsoever to do with bad luck. We create very very little and the first way the players look to move the ball is backwards. It could've been 1-6 and it wouldn't have been unfair.
