Puel Seeks Blue Army Support
Claude Puel wants the Club's fans to replicate their superb support at Stoke City on Saturday.
“It is an evolution, not a revolution. We cannot change everything just in a few days. It is important to continue this work but also have some feedback with the players.
“We won't change too much so they can play their game with confidence without thinking too much. We will try gradually to improve together.
“We have different possibilities and solutions. We will see for this game. All is open for me.”
Looking more closely at Stoke’s strengths, Puel revealed he is aware of the dangers they carry in attacking positions, but he nonetheless goes to Staffordshire in a confident mood.
“It is a difficult game, it is another game and they are always a good team,” he added. “They have good players, they are strong and it is very difficult to play against them.
“They had a good result away at Watford. We are confident after the last three games and it is important to continue at this level.
“It will be difficult, of course, but we must have the same ambition, whether we are at home or away.
“I hope we have the incredible support from the Blue Army on Saturday. It will be fantastic because they were unbelievable on Sunday and I hope it will be the same.”
