Ronald Koeman discussion

[davek]

That draw is papering over the cracks. Was awful for far too long and still too many poor players are starting games too often.

We got out of jail with a dodgy pen.

1 win in 10 = appalling.

 

[lancs blue]

shots on target stat said it all. no clue in final third and yet again left it late to put a shift in. has koeman control of the dressing room?

 

[hktoffee]

I'm not overjoyed with Koeman so far but what can he possibly do to avoid Stekelenberg running 20 yards off his line?

He's inherited an aging clueless squad.

My only criticism is leaving Holgate out the team when he was excellent. Not starting Davies. And possibly starting with Cleveley today.

We are unfortunately in a race for 6th place.

His target is 6th-7th this season. Am happy with 6th this season.

just said "the performance was positive"...what?

This time next season. Give him the two more windows that's supposed to turn this for us according to some, and if he cant cut it with that shift him out.

Our last 10 games look like this:

LLDDLWLDLD

That cant carry on.

I have no idea how we set up or what he wants to achieve.

At first I found your anti-Koeman-ness a bit knee-jerk but all credit to you for this comment and giving him two windows which I agree is enough to assess whether he should continue or not.

nothing dodgy with that penalty mate. foul all over the park in this modern game

 

[Blue Cheese]

He can spend as much as he likes but if he cant motivate his players then spending won't solve anything.

Strange comments from Koeman there. We didn't deserve a point in my view. Man U weren't great but controlled the game fairly easily up until Fellaini gave away pen. We were horrendous today and Man U must be kicking themselves.

Tom Davies not being in the squad, but Tom Cleverley starting, says it all about Koeman at the moment.

That side is screaming out for an injection of energy and youth, but Koeman is incapable of pulling the trigger. If Bolasie and Coleman didn't get injured today, Holgate doesn't come on, Deulofeu isn't moved to the right and we lose that game.

As davek said, we got out of jail with the right subs made for him when he wouldn't have voluntarily made them, after yet another torrid performance from the usual suspects.

 

[Zatara]

who do we replace him with?

Jardim from.Monaco.

just said "the performance was positive"...what?

Oh wow... he is worse than i ever feared

Still hate him.

Its so obvious and the guy not only doesnt see it but tells the press that Holgate, Davies etc are only good enough to start in holland and not in the prem.

Holgate showed him up today...

 

[ham2]

Played much better with 2 up front, shame he'll revert back to one next week

He signed and picked the keeper in question

El Bob must have left his 'Post Match Psychobabble' manual lying around the dressing room when departed
