Everton v city

You want something to be wrong Vardy comes nd asked the manager Mcguire did it a against Man City.
What do you a manager sitting on his hands doing nothing we have a few of those.
No you are just looking for more negatives rather enjoying a win away from home no matter how poor the game was just because it does not suit your Frenchman out agenda.
Puel got his tactics right Vardy took his chance unlike the last few similar opportunity's the players look happy its just you guys who have the ache

The more I think about this guys the more I’m convinced that we have Tony Pulis in charge. And I think we just have to come to terms with that. Pretty dire football but seems to be mostly effective and is picking up points.

If this was Pulis, I’d wager that both nev and foxello would want him gone, but because this is a dignified Frenchman who lets face it is a gentleman, he kind of gets away with these dull performances.

I don’t think there’s any change happening here, any kind of evolution or revolution, it’s just Tony Pulis football - make yourself hard to beat and pick up something from maybe one or two chances you create per game. Fortunately we have the quality in most cases to do that

Tony Pulis So I guess after the Peter Taylor comparisons fell flat on their backside yesterday, we're now on to Pulis. I must have missed the aimless long balls up to a 6ft 6 striker and playing for set pieces and throw ins...

Looking forward to who the next comparison is with. Dowie? Les Reed? Mike Bassett?

Puel has found a way to pick up results away from home. It's not particularly pretty or pleasing on the eye and is mainly to nullify the opponent, but it is starting to become effective. We clearly need to improve our performances at home and against the lesser sides, and I do understand that losing at home to Cardiff isn't acceptable for a team pushing for Europe.

I have to say, though, the mental contortions some are having to go through to trash the guy who has led us to 7th despite going through a transition period on and off the pitch is pretty sad. The way some have acted in recent days has completely delegitimised the valid criticisms and concerns that have been raised about Puel and his style of play.

I've never really considered myself a staunch 'Puel In' person as I have always been open to persuasive and still think we should evaluate his position at the end of the season. But I find myself inching further and further towards 'Puel In' when I see some of the nonsense that is being spouted on the other side.

Foxy why are you surprised wait till we lose again all hell will break lose. We are seventh with a young and exciting team getting the striking element right is the next priority but this has been a good week.
Fancy not being able to enjoy it because you don't want the man that is the manager to be the manager ?

I never made a comparison to Peter Taylor, think you’re getting in a muddle there with Mersey

Yesterday’s performance was so Pulis like I was half expecting to see Claude don a baseball cap and start spouting welsh. Set up tough to beat, create very little going forward and nick a goal. You honestly don’t see the comparison??!

I gave mr Puel credit yesterday with a balanced post. If we carry on picking up the points, I really won’t care about the style of football but you can’t convince me that we can continue to play like we did yesterday and have a hope of finishing 7th

I’ve really enjoyed the festive period even though the football has been mostly awful and we create about once chance per game. If we finish 7th I will be over the moon and will post a full apology to puel. But we won’t.

We’ll stumble to 9th because our undoing once again will be the absolute dross served up against the likes of Cardiff, West Ham, Burnley etc. That’s where we will throw it away with our lack of attacking intent

Was Man city awful? Chelsea? and who cares what we did at Everton a wins a win. Cardiff came to stifle and apart from a Penalty miss we would of won that. What do you want from a team without Marhez?

A team that creates more than one chance per game. Just like Wolves do. They don’t have Mahrez do they?

how many chances did you miss each game if you think we only get one !
