Ronald Koeman discussion

[JLW]

Makes no sense.

He highlights we're not compact enough and that defenders dont push up to make that happen...but he buys a slow and old CB for £9M...and then complains that the age of the team is a problem!

Sorry, I dont buy that.

Dave you wont buy anything he says!!
He is honest and doesn't sugar coat situations like Bobby used to.

It sounds like to me he is having a go Lukaku, Barkley, Mirallas and co for not pressing enough. Therefore he cant play that way if only half or none of them are willing to do the dirty work.
He bought Williams to deal with crosses and marshall the defense.

Love it. Clearly came here with the promise that he could build his own team.

Given time, I have confidence he will do well here.

The bold bit, with some better performances is all we want, there is no agenda from me on sacking the bloke yet, as frustrated as I may get on a match day.

We all do mate, but that's were we have to take a step back and look at it realistically and logically. He's been in the job 5 months, he shouldn't be expected to turn it around that quickly. He was left with a massive mess to clear up after the absolute buffoon before him!

Looking forward to seeing what players he can get in. His standing in the game is big, he is well respected for the things he has done on and off the pitch so I am actually excited to see what he can do.

Of course being football it could all go horribly wrong, lets hope for once it goes in the right direction for us.

 

[Thomasc]

Of course you don't buy it!

Like he was ever going to say anything positive about the manager! No hope for some people.

Sorry, I dont buy that.

There's a surprise

 

[MikeH72]

Of course you don't buy it!

Colour me shocked and dismayed

Personally I think 6 months of training anybody should have you playing how you want, I'm not buying it. Why aren't they playing how he wants? He sees them in training everyday, he drills them, he holds meetings. So why has he not got his message over. I'm not having that the players are that bad, BS.

"For our club to compete in the north west of England, which is the new Hollywood of football with Guardiola, Mourinho and Klopp, we needed a star to stand on the touchline so we got Koeman.
He [Koeman] is everything I wanted. Disciplined, experienced, a top coach. He has got the aura. He was one of top 50 all-time players. He is very direct and his sense of humour is Dutch!"

He's never been a top coach and sixteen years into his managerial career it's not looking likely that he will become one.

On course to be the most negative manager in the clubs history.

They really are. One of the worst sides I've ever had the displeasure of watching in the Royal Blue jersey.
