Where do Leicester honestly expect to finish?

1st. Nothing else is acceptable or the manager is a failure.

----------------------------------------------------------------------followed the next season by being champions league winners and 1st or 2nd
Or again sacked

and aim for 100% possession. Actually, maybe I'm on to something. Maybe Puel thinks this is the aim of the game.

In all seriousness, I think what we expect is top half, not flirting with relegation and looking like we are going forwards as a team.

Unfortunately, Puel looks like he’s taking us drastically backwards and we look awful and ready to begin that doom slide towards trouble. It’s that concern as to why the fans are against him.

We are fine with our league position, we’re not fine with the direction Puel is taking us. Ultimately this feels like it will end in relegation if it continues as it is.

Are we in a satisfactory position in the league table?

Yes. We'd like to be higher, of course; but top half is good.


Have we looked like we deserve to be there?

No. On several occasions this season we look like we've stolen points rather than earned them.


Are we playing entertaining football?




What do pundits say when they haven't watched us?

"Leicester should be happy with where they are."


What do pundits say when they have watched us?

"Leicester have been poor / This match has been low in quality."


What does the future look like?

Good in that we have a largely young team who can improve. Not so good in that it's still hard to work out really what Puel is even aiming for, let alone achieving.


What about Newport County?

Interview over.

Newport County should have concentrated on the league.

when will the clown journo's get it into their heads that it has nothing to do with our league position... but more about the turgid football being served up week after week.

They expect us to be happy/put up with it because we're little old Leicester and the title win 3 years ago was a 'fluke'.

1. Not being relegated.
2. Not going to Wembley in a cup (because 'realistically' managers outside the top six just have to focus on item 1 to keep themselves in a job, it's really worth fighting for every place in the EPL due to the financial rewards - so coming 9th is soo much better than say 11th and should be justly celebrated by fans of a 'small' club, and in any event, we only want to see 'big' clubs there for it to be a 'proper' final that would be worth watching; incidentally a strong argument for the ultimate ruin of the romance of the FA cup by introducing seeding).
3. Not getting ideas above our station (this from FA members who can remember what it was like in Victorian times).
4. Not actually achieving anything because it makes pundits look stupid, and their tiny brains can't cope with being asked to research and think about more than half a dozen teams.
5. That is enough ideas from the lazy journos almanac.......(Ed)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nuneaton - Very well put, I agree wholeheartedly with all your points but particularly No.2.
The FA cup has lost most of it's magic already and seeding would be a death blow. Without the giant killers from the lower leagues having any realistic chance of boosting their meagre incomes from drawing a "big" club it would lose what interest it gets for me. (Apart from my fervent hope for City to win it before I pop my clogs!)

Just grateful to be 10th really.
