saintant Posted 6 January, 2019 Share Posted 6 January, 2019 Mr Puel the rotation clown does it again and this time it's the Leicester fans who suffer his foolishness. They are completely safe and not going to do anything in the league yet this dope disrespects their one remaining chance of winning a trophy. I am sure the Leicester fans are very pleased with him today particularly those who paid good money and took the trouble to go to Newport. Maybe this will teach Puel a big lesson. Arrogant idiot.

Depends If you look at it in isolation or look at the bigger picture. Finished 5th with Lyon after they had just won SEVEN consecutive titles Finished 8th with us after we had just finished 6th Is 7th with Leicester but they won the league in 2016 and have an incredible squad Being 7th or 8th with say Cardiff, now that would be impressive.

Greenridge Posted 6 January, 2019 Share Posted 6 January, 2019 Haha Leicester were so bad. Can't see Puel surviving that result. He’s seemingly been on the cusp of the sack several times over the last 12 months but normally digs out a couple of job-saving results. That’s the mark of a World class manager.

What have they spent £250m in three seasons? £100m this close season? Bought a CB who was on Man City's radar the season before and another who is linked with Man Utd consistently?

Vardy's their only option up front, he can't play every game because he's got a slight injury. You seem to be forgetting Mahrez and Kante, their two world class players. The rest of the squad may be mediocre, but with those 2 they should be at least 7th. Just like when he had Pelle, Mane and Big Vic with us, he should've finished higher and won a cup. It's important to look at the bigger picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forester Posted 7 January, 2019 Share Posted 7 January, 2019 Weird to see the ongoing fascination to slam Puel whenever there is a bad news story about him. From my vantage point, the guy finished 8th with no Pelle, Mane or Wanyama and look what followed us. And a cup final. He then took over Leicester in relegation zone, finished eighth and he is now seventh having just beaten Man City, Chelsea and Everton. Crikey what failure....

Turkish Posted 7 January, 2019 Share Posted 7 January, 2019 When Raneri took over at Leicester they had just avoided the drop after a great run of results, they continued that momentum and it took them to the league title. unfortunately the momentum curve swang back the other way and went down and down, first through Ranieri, then Shakephere, so when Puel came in he had to halt the downward momentum and turn it back, which he started to do and now Leicester by taking them from a 12th placed finish in 2017 to 9th in 2018 and now 7th, so Claude has done a great job in turn the momentum curve back in Leicesters favour. Of course you can take the odd result in isolation and criticise him but by Hesingbergs own momentum curve matrix Puel has and is doing a great job #momentumcurve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester had 70% possession and 24 shots to Newports 9. They dominated but didn't take their chances. But this the the thing ..... there is no need to rotate wholesale. There is only one mid week match in Jan and 1 in Feb ........ if you put out a good enough team to avoid an uneccessary replay!! Leicester are in no fear or relegation or breaking into the Top 6 ... so the only means of winning a trophy is going for it in The FA Cup or FL Cup. Is the game so focused on the Prem Cash Cow that clubs would rather secure 7th place instead of 8th and don't give a hoot to The Cups even though a place in Europe is there for the taking?

The lineup he put out was totally reasonable for a cup game against a league 2 side. 5 of their title winning regulars + iheanacho(£25m) leading the line. They dominated the game but didn't take their chances. Show me a prem team that didn't rotate. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Newport side clearly can raise their game for fixtures like this. Picking a side with players that have not kicked a ball in a year was risky. But not having your star men in the bench was asking for trouble Klopp clearly could not give a toss about the cup yet he had Salah, firminho and Mane on his bench.

Look at the sides city and spurs put out? Full of their first team players Lets get the facts straight. This is the number of changes from their last premier league game to the FA cup game. Liverpool: 9 changes Manchester City: 8 changes Tottenham Hotspur: 8 changes Chelsea: 8 changes Arsenal: 8 changes Manchester United: 9 changes Leicester City: 7 changes Watford: 11 changes Wolverhampton Wanderers: 5 changes West Ham United: 6 changes Everton: 5 changes Bournemouth: 9 changes Brighton & Hove Albion: 8 changes Crystal Palace: 9 changes Newcastle United: 8 changes Burnley: 9 changes Cardiff City: 7 changes Southampton: 6 changes Fulham: 6 changes Huddersfield Town: 8 changes I fail to see the issue.
