I've been on the fence regarding Puel.
What i find most frustrating is
1) We rarely play the same 11 under Puel and he has said that he wants to keep all players happy so tries to give game time to all. except Silva, iborra etc
Successful teams keep the same 11 and build understanding (not Puel)
2) We put in more crosses than most other teams yet score the fewest goals,
this tactic obviously does not work because we got rid of anyone who can head a ball.
3) We seem to stand off teams rather than pressing them and winning back possession higher up the pitch. this gives our defense more problems.
4) We never seem to get going until second half
5) We have scored the fewest goals from set pieces ie corners so what the hell do they do in training, this used to be one of our strengths.
6) Vardy is isolated and we do not seem to be playing to our players strengths rather trying to get them to play a system that inhibits them.
I know we are currently 7th but i do not think we will still be 7th at the end of the season if we carry on as we are,
In or out

I'm rooting for Allardyce to come, has great side benefits, just love to get rid of the trash.

I don’t often post here these days, but I’ll break my self-imposed silence to say now is the time for Puel to go.
Those results against Man City and Chelsea masked the fact that we’ve been poor elsewhere; our losses against Newport and a largely 10 man Southampton are just not good enough.
Our next four games are mega tough, given recent form, and if the owners don’t pull the trigger this week then it’s only a matter of time before they do.
Rafa in, in my opinion.

Looks like it’s just Nev left then....

In. Definitely in. It’s clear that Puel is clearly a great tactician and he just needs time for his ideas to turn into performances.
It’s obvious to see we’re about to click. Give him time.

Actually.................... I'm trying to think of something positive to say. My heart sank when I saw 3DMs on the team sheet, against Southampton, a team who didn't have a recognised striker available. We were shockingly bad up to half time, worst half that I've seen this season.
We seemed to be all over the place in midfield. N'didi and Choudhury tried to get forward but often the control/passing wasn't there. Hardly surprising that they weren't brilliant, they were being asked to do something they're not used to. The sight of Maddison coming back to half way to try and make something happen wasn't good - it can't be right to end up with N'didi in front of Madders.
We improved in the second half, after there were some changes made to inject a bit of positivity. Still not good enough, but to be fair, Southampton defended superbly with ten men.
Pleased to see Barnes come on, I thought he had a very reasonable debut - that's a positive for me.
Overall about Claude - I think I've climbed up onto Dunge's fence - any idea how to get these splinters out of my bottom?

I don't post on here now, mainly because of the bunch of Richard heads that do! but Puel out now
