Loving the look of that lineup, so refreshing!

He may not be the most exciting appointment but we don't exactly have a plethora of options right now. I think he would get us playing more positive football (who wouldn't) and reckon he would get a lot more out of the likes of Gabbi, Boufal and possibly even Redmond. Until this season he had done a pretty good job at Stoke. Not my first choice but don't think he'd be a bad appointment. More than anything if it is him, we all as fans need to get fully behind him and the team if we are to have a chance of staying up.

Happiest I've been all season! He strangled the life out of this club. It may well be too late, but at least we might go down fighting now...

Disgusting and he will probably lose his job for that, but the driver comes across as a complete knob as well.

The fact that he is STILL here is just sheer gross negligence from the club. I've always been a supporter of Les but unless he is acting on orders from above it is unfathomable that he still thinks MP is the right man for the job, when it's been patently obvious for months that he's way out of his depth. Five Live used the word anaemic to describe our performance yesterday, which just about sums up the entire season (and most of last). Literally anyone would be able to give it a better go than Mr Bean is doing at the moment. Shocking.

If relegation gets rid of 'fans' like you then bring it on.

Same old cowardly ****e. Just **** off MP.

Sadly this forum is full of people who seem to take great pleasure out of bashing the club they supposedly support. Anyway I live a 15 minute walk from St Marys and it's snowing pretty heavily again. Most of the roads round here are quite slushy but passable with care. Touch and go whether it will go ahead.

Lol, there is now a Puel out thread on the Leicester forum.

Boufal was very good at West Brom the other week, and has subsequently been dropped from the starting lineup since. Redmond offers extremely little, would rather have Sims in. Another morale sapping selection from MP.

He seems scared to have more than two attack minded players on the pitch at any given time, apart from perhaps the last few minutes if we are 2+ goals behind. I would deem that cautios/negative rather than defensive. That aside I have no idea what he's about, as game after game we just look a complete mess tactically whilst team selection seems to be picking random numbers out of a hat for each position. It's astonishing really that he's still in a job, but I don't expect that to change any time soon, and even if it did it would probably be too late now. He should have been sacked two months ago.

Nail on the head. Had a ST since we moved into St Marys and used to really look forward to match day, even when we were **** and in the Championship/L1. However a combination over the last couple of years of absolutely atrocious football and complete lack of any atmosphere have turned it into a chore now and I will have a serious think about renewing. My brother comes down from Northampton for every game so it will ultimately depend on whether he renews. To be frank I just rarely enjoy going now. That said I still love the club and would feel dirty turning my back on it, just want to enjoy matchdays again but right now I feel a bit alienated.

Rugby is ****.

Typical of today's society where people are looking to get offended by anything and get everything banned. It's just a word ffs and besides, the more it is used the less of an impact it has. There are far more important issues in the world for people to get their knickers in a twist about.

How on Earth is this guy a professional manager? The team selection and tactics actually beggard belief, or would have done if we hadn't already seen it so many times this season. He is utterly clueless. PLEASE get rid or we are down, no question.

Today was the first time in a long long while where it felt like there was a togetherness between the players and fans. A good battling performance and plenty of spirit on and off the pitch which was encouraging. We will need plenty of that if we're to have a chance of staying up.

Yes how dare we sing nasty songs about our rivals, much better to chant against our own club!

How on Earth has Puel turned into some kind of managerial god in the eyes of some? Whatever he did or is doing at other clubs is totally irrelevant as it doesn't change what he did here. Top half finish should be par for this squad. 8th place was fine on the face of it, but we finished only 6 points ahead of fourth bottom, and a massive 23 points behind 6th (where we finished previous season). That tells you far more about how the season went as opposed to just banging on about how great an achievement it was to finish 8th. In this case it was a fine line between upper mid table and being in a relegation battle. He threw the FA Cup. He failed in (arguably threw) the Europa League. We scored less than a goal a game at home and played mind numbing defensive football. His one saving grace was the League Cup run, and we played well in the final, but let's not pretend we didn't beat some poor/weakened sides to get there (Liverpool aside). For me the writing was on the wall and whilst I don't think Puel would have got us relegated I think we would have been lower mid-table with him and still playing the mind numbing football. Neither he or Pellegrino have been good appointments and it's that lack of a strong manager which has got us where we are today imo.

This 100%, amen brother! Makes it all the sweeter though if we somehow manage to pull off the impossible...

Without doubt a new manager because we could sign Messi and still go down under this clown. Any competent manager should be able at the very least to avoid relegation with the players we have so I wouldn't be too bothered about new players in this window. New manager in now and then major squad surgery in the summer.

If he wants out I don't blame him one bit, the way he has been treated by our idiot of a manager is a disgrace.

Austin Hoedt Hojbjerg In that order. Would have Hoj above Hoedt but he hasn't really played enough games yet, although you could probably say the same of Austin. Not exactly spoiled for choice are we.

There is a very real chance we will be in the bottom three by the time we kick off against Spurs. I want MP gone as much as anyone but we need to get behind the team as much as possible to give ourselves a chance, we have 15 cup finals now. Who knows maybe we'll have a new manager by then anyway...

Excellent first half, terrible second half. Once again the negative safety first tactics have come back to bite us and we got everything we deserved. Yes it should have been handball but they should have had a penalty before that anyway for the shirt pull by Romeu. No excuse for that performance drop in the second half. Get this clown out now before it's too late.

Completely agree with that. I would genuinely hate to be a Man City fan, they look like a club who have sold their soul.
