Wade Garrett

For me, he has made a pretty poor start. But talk that he should be sacked is way too premature.

Manager is sh*te.

We have to try and get in behind them and turn those 2 big centre-halves towards their own goal. Boufal has to play. If he doesn't and we stick to our pedestrian sideways and backwards passing we'll be playing right into their hands. Lemina's replacement isn't obvious. If we stick to Tadic, Redmond and Long behind Gabbiadini, we'll need someone more creative in midfield. If we play Boufal we can ask Davis to play box to box. I'll be really disappointed with the manager if Boufal doesn't play.

He got a massive boll*cking from Jamie Redknapp as they were leaving the pitch.

How are Leicester fans taking the news? Absolute shocker for them. He must be brilliant at PowerPoint presentations.

I've come across a few people at work who are great at interviews but crap at their jobs.....

Leicester are going to give season ticket holders a free pillow now they've appointed Puel.

This forum really is full of c*nts like you. F*cking knob jockey. ?

Forster is a poorly coached average keeper. Benji, Shilton was 40 at Italia 90 and was arguably the keeper of the tournament. The goal he conceded in the semi-final had so much top spin on it, making it nigh on impossible to save. And Germany, generally, don't miss penalties. Lord Duckhunter, I strongly disagree with the merits of the 'starfish'. I also think modern coaching has taken goalkeeping backwards.

Coaching is a problem. They all get taught the 'starfish' method that leads to so many getting done with the ball going under them or through their legs. Back in the day, letting one in through your legs, or at your near post, was a cardinal sin. We were taught to make yourselves big and position yourself properly. You never used to see keepers like Shilton, Clemence, Niemi, Seaman, Corrigan etc. Letting in the amount of soft goals that are conceded these days. Before anyone mentions the ball, I'm not talking about 20 yard screamers. They used to make themselves big, stay on their feet for as long as possible, and get their angles right. The ball would often be saved by the body, legs in particular. With crosses, they would arc their approach, so they were moving forward when trying to get the ball at it's heighest point. Nowadays, they get caught under the ball far too easily. Forster is struggling at the moment, and there is a pattern to his mistakes. But his coaching, in my opinion, is crap. His 'modern' technique is crap. Goalkeeper coaching has gone too continental. 30-40 years ago, we often had 3 keepers in the top 20 in the world. We used to laugh at foreign keepers who punched everything. Now we coach our own like it. Ridiculous. Rant over.

When Newcastle had the ball in forward positions, there were 3 or 4 players within a 12 yard radius. When we had it forward, there was hardly an option. We aren't fit enough, and our mobility off the ball will be our downfall.

I think he's p*ssed off having Redmond in front of him.

The manager very subtly buried Forster in the post-match interview with Sky. I'm afraid he has to be dropped for the next game.

In fear of looking like a total chump at the end of the game, I'll say it is an interesting line-up. Wouldn't be surprised to see Gabbi out wide and Tadic as the No.10.

a Doesn't have to be mobile to stick the ball in the onion bag mush.

Do you know that the players want a change in tactics? Im not having a pop, just interested to know.

Good thing for me is at this stage of his career, he wouldn't be looking to p*ss off somewhere else after a good half-season.

That's a completely different argument. Decent pro's will quickly suss out coaches who are poor. Nothing to do with whether or not they'll become decent coaches themselves.

Is it right that Black is popular with the squad? They're pros and would quickly find out a coach who was crap.

This, in spades.

Our movement is poor. I hope that under Pellegrino we will press higher up the pitch and be a bit more energetic in attack. We need to offer at least a couple of passing options when we have the ball. We just look a bit lazy at the moment. He needs to start double training sessions, get them fitter and drill them better on what he wants. We are pretty easy to set up against.

How has Sims been playing for the U23s?

Fair comment.

No problem, put some floppy ears on it and it could be Deputy Dawg.

Made my day to see that coward p*ssed off as well.
