Why do people think this guy is a good manager! He has done nothing as a manager..now hes doing the same here. We have a good (not brilliant) squad...moyes over achieved...this guy is under achieving big time with zero potential being shown.
No it isn't.
The way Koeman plays is with three forwards who press and harry and work hard, but have the quality and nous to create and score.
We have one of those players, who is now injured, and isn't as consistent as you'd like with his end product.

That's my point about him though. If he doesn't have the players that he wants, to play the way he wants, just defend better! Don't go all out attack but, keep the ball on the deck and attack as a team (rather than 'Geronimo' as it was), as it suits the players he currently has?
What was strange was bringing him on and not sticking him up top with Lukaku. He's a forward after all.
Koeman didn't tell the players to go and camp on the edge of the box for 45 minutes.
The players did it to themselves.
I love Gaz Baz, but McCarthy's injury cost us tonight, big time.
It just shows the lack of character. One thing goes against us, and we bottle it.
Plus Robles showed why Stek has rightly been our no.1
Sorry toff that's wrong, he played long ball to Pelle, when that went tits up he put long in who chased and harassed
I genuinely think that was the idea - like vs Arsenal.
The issue was, last week we were getting on the front foot.
Koeman should've recognised that. It was a bad sub, as the lad had no choice but to go over and fill the void as Liverpool were pressing so much.
It's been the same football all season bar arsenal. Lacklustre attack and a poor turnover from front to back.
With bolasie in the team the entire game plan was to get it to him as soon as possible. Koeman needs to take some responsibility for how we are playing.
January is huge
Are you kidding, Toff?
It has set us back even further than we were before Arsenal.
The feel good factor we have wallowed in since last Tuesday had totally evaporated and the doubts are back in spades.
And Christmas is ruined in my house.....my Kopite son in law is coming for Christmas dinner.....and he was there tonight
Bah rotten humbug.
The only good thing to come out of tonight's debacle is that our old friend @davek might return and regale us with his thoughts on this fiasco tomorrow
You clearly watched very little of Saints then mate - not that I blame you, you're an Everton fan.
Long, Mane, Pelle, Austin, Rodriguez.
His five forwards last year. All versatile, all with different strengths. All hard workers.
His midfield followed that up by pressing as a unit - not one at a time crabbing like Barkley does.
They played some great stuff. Counter-attacking yes, but not hoofball. No where near it.
The difference is, they could mix it up when they needed to.

Didnt he?
He should hand his resignation on tomorrow then, hes the bloody manager!
I shudder to ask here but...what exactly did Robles do wrong? The goal wasnt remotely his fault.
Agreed on the other points.

First half tonight we did that imo. Really restricted them to scraps. If Jimmy never went off who knows.... Barry just doesn't have the same intensity to sustain what Jimmy gave us first half.
Of course he does. The man himself has come out and said responsibility falls on everybody, including himself.
What more do you want him to say?
First half today, we had everything except the bit that counts.
But one bad bit of luck goes against us and this bunch of cowards crumbled again.
