I’m a bit of a joke BS?

The moment you likened our current situation to Peter Taylor then yep I believe you just lost complete credibility. This is so far removed from Taylor I just can’t see you how could reach such a conclusion.

Also slightly offended you think I’m stupid and know nothing about our club and that your research means I’m clueless.
But I’ll suck that one up
I’m aware of what our plan is. I just don’t beleive Puel is the right man to lead it.

Now i didn’t say you were stupid, but I don’t think you u derstabd the plan the club has based on the fact that you just won’t listen or even entertain the other side of this argument. It’s honestly like debating with Nev at times.
Like many Leicester fans - you mistakenly always think The issue is with the manager and that if we change the manager then everything’s going to be fine. This is classic not seeing the wood for the trees

I thought it was a much more encouraging performance today. We were actually creating chances, and good chances. The finishing wasn’t good enough too often and Vardy confirmed my belief that you shouldn’t take a penalty with your first touch, but that’s far better than not creating.
We have to replicate that in the next two matches now; no stupidity with team selections, no cleverness with formations, no Morgan, no Mendy, just get out there with intent and make them stop you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We need to replicate the effort and the attacking prowess, but if the players continue to finish like that Dunge then we won’t be picking up maximum points in the next two games against teams that will defend deep. That was awful finishing today

Its a comparison BS.
Trophy winning team, ageing but quality squad, new manager comes in and loses the dressing room. Sells a few big names and brings in his players. Loses in the cup to minnow. Goes on a slide with the dressing room looking like they’re not playing for him. Dissenting voices speaking up about him.
It’s just making the list k between a manager who took on a squad and lost them.
Now, if we go back and read CONTEXT in my posts, I also say that we have a hugely stronger squad that should be enough to keep us out of trouble. However in the summer, if we lost 2-4 key players (Maguire, Vardy, Maddison) and we recruited poorly, we’d have a much weaker squad that I think could be at serious risk of relegation.
Now, if people other than you think that that makes me a joke then fine. I think it’s a fairly reasonable comparison to make.
Do I believe Puel is as bad a manager as Taylor, of course not. Nobody in the world is (maybe Martin allen!)...

To be fair Black Starr, Mersey has literally just said he understands the plan but doesn’t agree that Puel is the man to implement it successfully. This is just simply a different opinion to yours.

BS - Create the chances and they will start going in.

BS - I think I’m also very tired and feeling frustrated today so we’re probably not good for each other on here!
Think I need to take a step back and wait for the picture to unfold over coming games.

Stating he understands the plan isn’t actually the same as understanding it. If you read what Mersey says, 99% of it is based on a game by game view of the managers tactics. He literally has nothing to say about why Puel was brought in, the coaching and development of our academy players who previously weren’t really doing much and what the owners are looking to try and achieve with a squad rebuild. He doesn’t even think we needed to rebuild the team KTF so how on earth he can say he understands the plan of the football club is beyond me

Tell Akinbiyi that.....
To a certain extent you’re right, but not taking chances (including penalties) is one of the key things that’s costing us points.
If you look at the stats against Cardiff, we battered them. Created way more attempts than they did - but didn’t take the chances that fell our way. Teams go down because they aren’t clinical in the box (I’m not saying we will).
Unless our forward players start taking their chances then the frustration will continue

Ok fair enough. I’m also knackered and frustrated. Let’s call a truce on this one!!
