Ronald Koeman discussion

[dannyboy]

Do you think our squad is weaker than Burnley's, Swansea's and Watford's, teams we couldn't beat? Because if you do then you must think we are heading for the championship because a minimum of 1 of them will go down. Also, if you do then you must think Martinez was a wizard with his 11th place finishes with essentially the same squad. I think none of those things are true, which means there is something wrong beyond the playing squad. Our squad is not fantastic but it isn't as bad as some Koeman apologists are trying to make out.

I think the squad's 'okay', I also think that we're currently on a bad run of form and that it'll be turned around in due course.

Teams like ours who aren't fantastic go through spells in the season where it looks like a win is impossible. You've just got to keep it in perspective. Despite this shocking run, we're still 9th position.

Our squad have done nothing for 3 seasons, fitness wise, pressing, no winning mentality. It going to take more them a few months to bring these players up to the right standard

There's a hell of a lot of mangers out there who would be doing better than Koeman is at the moment. He's being given allot of slack from people on here. He is doing an appalling job.

Our squad isnt bad, but bar Gana and a Lukaku starved of service every single player appears to be in the worst form of their career.

The manager is throwing different players in different formations and its really not the answer, we need a pick me up, a win, we need fresh ideas in the squad and we need to get out of this mess that the manager and the players collectively find themselves in.

To suggest we sack the manager after 15 games is quite laughable IMO.

We're worse than we were last season. That is a statistical fact and apparent to anyone with working eyeballs. Our one tactic is "have it". Peter Kay might as well be our manager. Moshiri has been had.

Jeez, he's been here 4 months and we're in 9th place. Hardly 'appalling' is it? Talk about an overreaction.

Normally I would agree but what is Koeman's plan? Throw on Cleverley? Lump it up to the big man? I could even deal with that if he appeared even vaguely arsed about the situation but he honestly doesn't seem to give a toss. I can't see where we are going at the moment and that is deeply troubling.

I think the lads could turn up on there own and get the same results if i'm honest.

It is appalling, how else can you describe it, everyone is making out like it was some impossible job, it wasn't.

We can get better though. It's a bad run of form, not a rut.

We arent getting utterly destroyed tho, Chelsea game aside, its mostly 1 goal here and there, im not saying its all unicorns and rainbows, honestly I hate watching Everton get beat and out fought and I dont know what the answer is, im just saying the manager is trying different things in games, im sure hes trying different things on the training pitch.

I just think we should give him at least a season or 2, a few transfer windows, if we keep falling down the table and failing to win games, well, thats a discussion for another day, but here and now, after 15 games, must do better, yes, but must get sacked? LOL, no.

in 4 weeks time he will have been here 5 months and we will be 15th, giving him more money to spend on dross like Williams and that Russian clown linked in the echo tonight could well see us on an unstoppable slide to the championship, get him out now

And we're 9th in the league after a bad run of results haha. For God sake, appalling is being bottom of the league with no wins all season.

A couple of wins and we're all dreaming of Europa League again.

Don't agree with this at all Friend.

It's one win in 11 and the performances are absolutely listless. Sammy Lee is sorting his contract out and that's just going to tip us into full fume when we see quasimobiff on the sideline gnashing his teeth.

Let's say ok, it's been the wrong appointment, this is football, time for the sack

Or give him a chance to turn it around because sometimes in football teams can go through bad runs of form?

But nah, our fans have got no time for that. We'll just get a new manager in every 3 months and see where that takes us instead.
