CH was taught a coaching lesson today by Puel. We were so predictable and disappointing, it was an inevitable outcome. Huge 2 points dropped.

Hopefully we learnt how to play away from home with 10 men though following our surrender against Cardiff, but I doubt it.

Biggest criticism for me was too slow in making changes (again). Clear Propper and Izzy were struggling but he doesn't change things.

Time for my bed.

Puel is a good manager with a huge array of talent at his disposal. I'm sure CH is always learning new things

Hopefully. You say about his huge array of talent but Puel didn’t have his best defender today, down to 10 men with his most creative player sent off in the first half, best striker only came on in the second half and yet they outplayed us.

Hughton also had a lot of attacking talent at his disposal yet we looked impotent at home to a mid table side who had 10 men for over an hour. Big lessons to learn.

Hughton is a reactive manager. Not a proactive one. Waited until they’d played their hand before making a change. Played an unfit immobile Murray in the second half. Stuck rigidly to 4-5-1 until they scored. Poor effort Chris.

yep, it was a masterclass by Puel in how to play with 10 men. He basically abandoned the left hand side of midfield, figuring that Bruno was the one player who could least hurt them. Chilwell, who is obviously one of their best players, kept Knockaert very quiet and essentially sewed up that side of the pitch. Everywhere else they went at us man-for-man, and nullified any chance of us pushing for a second by putting Vardy on and making the threat of a breakaway goal very real. We were essentially forced to hold on to what we had which always gave them a chance, which they were duly given.

They have had a few more years to build. We are new boys so be patient.

By that reckoning, we shall win the PL next season then! Happy days, I didn’t realise these players had it in them and will finish the season with 6 wins on the bounce. Looking forward to :)

When it comes to playing creative, attacking football I fear our Chris hasn't got a clue.

You tired mate?

****ing hell that was a shocking performance even with rose coloured glasses.

Hughton hasn't the faintest idea on how to set up an attacking side and when they went down to 10 and then had their best player hobble off, they were there for the taking and we start all the ole bollocks!

We are so frustrating to watch at the moment...thank Fisk we won three on the trot.

When Was the last time we scored mor than 1 goal?

We better buck our ideas up and start going for teams at home or we could be needing points soon. I fear for the palace game already.

Hughton was "owned" by the male lino today. Two lousy calls that cost us. A yellow for Izquierdo when he kept the ball in and was away (although if he'd ended up shooting it would probably have gone for a throw). On the Gross "offside" call, he was onside and was clean through. 2-0 would have been huge at that point.
