Deulofeu is a ball boy in that 2nd pic, thats where he went
The way I see it Koeman has a lot of over 30's players who are now not going to get a big move and are just seeing out their contracts. these players are multi millionaires, they are not going to run through brick walls for the cause. Koeman will know this and we have to give him a chance to put it right. we should start to judge him this time next year when hopefully he will have made Klopp and Conte look like the complete muppets that they really are, I hope !
I agree with you about the other players in the team, However Ross is a blue through and through, he should be demanding more from those around himIn your opinion.
It's pretty difficult to be the player, who's supposed to make the passes for the players making the runs, when they're not.
So many games when he's holding players off, waiting for the runners, theyre not there and the ball is lost. People need to look at the contribution of other players, not just the seemingly easy target of Ross.
I could list the bad performances from every player in the squad but, it seems to all be about how bad Ross is playing!

50% of his signings are over 30 & he would like to sign Rooney! Klopp won two consecutive German titles, Conte won three consecutive Italian titles. I really wish they were muppets but unfortunately they aren't.The way I see it Koeman has a lot of over 30's players who are now not going to get a big move and are just seeing out their contracts. these players are multi millionaires, they are not going to run through brick walls for the cause.

I thought he'd really revitalised the team's mentality after those first 4 league games but it's scary how quickly we've reverted to type. He doesn't seem like he's willing to take a chance on any of the youngsters, or even changing formation.
It doesn't bother me when a manager likes to stick to his best team and strategy for most games, but jfc, I don't think we've got a 'best team'! When it's not working, mix it up a bit!
But he has changed it about, hes dropped certain players, even taken some players off at HT, hes trying new things, hes pretty much given every single first player time on the pitch and the majority have underwhelmed.
Probably the cynic in me, but it feels like we're going into every game with the same lineup, and making the same subs, both wingers off at various points and an attacker thrown on towards the end if we're chasing the game.
Which boils down to a serious lack of options for me.
I know you mentioned giving the kids a run out, but im sorry to say, none of them are better than what we already have in the first team, so would be pointless throwing them in expecting miracles.
At least they would try !
Or that fella from Watford.
