Ronald Koeman discussion

[Lowste]

The performance at Southampton the other week takes some beating mate.

There are so many poor performances
Swansea sticks out as they were in free fall, I think they made six or more changes and they looked far better than us on the day.
Agree though Southamptin was poor, knowing you are beat after 45secinds isn't good

 

[BlueToff]

You don't rate Gana , really?

He's a weirdo (not Gana)

 

[Lanolin]

As I have said we need strengthening, but we have I believe 6 or 7 players who are capable of being in the starting 11.
Don't forget over 25% of the team last night were RK signings, are they part of your cull

I am not completely disagreeing with you, but my belief is strengthen the squad that is all we need
Last night was a joke but if honest Swansea was worse

I agree with you mate. I think the basis of the squad is decent, it is just sorely lacking in certain areas. I think if we added the right level of quality in those areas we would see that many of our current players suddenly look much better.

 

[BlueToff]

Like all the people guaranteeing Sissoko would have been mince?

Maybe.

Except we've seen that Bolasie does actually make things happen.

The only people who don't admit that are people who had pre-conceived opinions that they wouldn't even change slightly (i'm not saying they were totally wrong - the lad is by no means world class) based on facts

 

[windymiller]

and the main skills of our other wingers are doing exactly the same without getting the ball into the box...

Even more sad. Why are wingers our only route to goal? Answer - because we bypass our midfield with the patented Williams hoof.

 

[Zatara]

Who would you have played Zat? Clevs?

Davies wasn't judged ready. We can't comment to that as we haven't watched him enough.

I've heard good things from the people who have. I don't know why Koeman isn't using him, but he isn't.

Thats the point though, Koeman isnt playing him which makes no sense.

From what weve seen, he has energy like Gana and McCarthy so automatically is a better option than a snail or a crab.

I will return to enjoying your posts when you cease the drum banging on bolasie.

 

[Kev The Rat]

You don't rate Gana , really?

even if I did - and I think he's ok - are you in a roundabout way trying to get Koeman off the hook for the signings?

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Of the new lads only one gives me any hope, the rest look mediocre at best

True, but they've come into a team that has losers and wasters in it. I'm prepared to give them time to prove themselves. I'm not being unreasonable here, I gave everyone in this squad time before I slaughtered them. I even tried to defend Niasse after it became obvious how bad he was but my patience have snapped with this squad now. They've had more then enough time to prove themselves and have failed repeatedly on almost every single occasion.

well we didn't yesterday...

we had Barkley running towards goal yet all he did was give the ball away...

 

[BlueToff]

I will return to enjoying your posts when you cease the drum banging on bolasie.

I've acknowledged he's not the best player on the planet Zat.

I'd like others to acknowledge the fact that he made stuff happen for us in the final third...

He had 4 assists already this season all to the striker. Plus a goal.

how many assists do lennon / Mirallas / Deoufeu all have combined?

 

[KUEFC09U2]

When Williams signed people where made up, now look at the state of some of the comments

 

[Zatara]

When 90% of the play (or thereabouts) is directed to one player then obviously hes going to have more assists than someone who isnt hardly playing.

McGeady would probably have the same amount of assists.

 

[Smodger]

the football he has served up so far is terrible I have seen no change in fitness and I go home after every game exhausted after clinging onto my seat. So Can someone please tell me what sort of style he trying to get us to play?
