John Percy reporting in the telegraph last night that there is unrest in the Leicester City dressing room over Puels increasingly strange tactical decisions and his training methods. His communication with staff and players is apparently not good and is leaving the squad confused at times.
Now before Nev starts pointing the finger at the players and accusing them of being Judas back stabbers - exactly the same thing happened at Southampton apparently. Players were complaining of monotonous training sessions with no intensity and frustrating tactics with constant changes.
It’s not thought that Puels position is under threat but in my opinion it’s now only a matter of time

It’s happening again......

So given the fact the owners are not going to ditch the manager whos got the team to eighth what can he do different that is going to make any difference?
He is playing the players we want aginst teams that do not give us any space for our historic counter attacking

Play the strongest team
Stick with the strongest team
Stop isolating Vardy
Stop insisting that players like Simpson and Chilwell get forward so much when such little attacking quality is produced from them in comparison to the holes that are left by this impotent attack
Stop thinking Albrighton to right back is a normal and positive change
Stop encouraging us to overpass and dilute attacking intent
Stop slowing down our tempo
Stop encouraging this crab like passing which allows defenders to adjust positIons and be completely prepared for any (limited) attacks into their box

A lot of managers could get our squad to 8th. Lets not pretend it's some massive achievement. We should be higher considering the points we've dropped at home to utter shiiit.

Ps the counter attacking team is a myth to a certain extent. We were a quick direct and attacking team. There were sooooo many moves leading to goals during our title winning season that involved pass Big build ups or us simply attacking with intent and tempo. It was cringeworthy at times when ill informed commentators just claimed we simply booted the ball forward to Vardy and he scored. Don’t believe me? Watch the re run of that season

I agree KTF. Some of the football we played that season was some of the best I've seen watching us.
At the business end we did go a bit more conservative which may have blinded some people.

I think if performances continue then the owners will absolutely pull the trigger. They are not happy according to reports, once the players start moaning then the writing is on the wall as you know

I don’t care if I get told I live in the past for the rest of my life.
When the past happens once in a lifetime, you celebrate than one occasion for your lifetime.
10 year anniversary party since the title win? Obviously!
