Ronald Koeman discussion

[Goat]

He was shamed into playing some of our younger players, that is the truth of the matter. He got an almighty kick in the bollocks after his last comment about players from that age group not being ready.

Koeman got away with that tripe at a pony club like S'ton where he ruled the roost while their fans and people behind the scenes looked on meekly; he wont get away with that here. And now he knows it.

*giggle*

Ronny hates the kids.

I suppose dropping Jags, switching to a back 3 and totally changing the way we set up was an accident as well in your World.

How many times has that produced a=n almighty balls up and how many times a result? ....in your world like.

It didn't seem exactly planned did it? He was changing formation and personnel on a weekly basis then he hit on the right formula, I'd say more by accident than design.

I'd call it good management, being adaptable, flexible and prepared to adapt in order to find the right formula.

Main thing that's happened: Gueye leaves for AFCON > Davies is slotted in as Koeman's hand is forced > Barkley gets the benefit of Davies and starts bossing games.

More by accident than design.

Have to pretty much agree although I will add that I think the Watford game was a turning point in this regard. In my opinion it's hard to argue against this when you had Koeman coming out a few weeks ago and saying none of the young players, including Davies were ready.

DID YOU KNOW:

Koeman has up to 50% of the U23s training with the First Team on any one training day.

Hates the Kids.

I heard he makes some of them carry his Golf bag on their days off.

Playing Davies because of Gueye's omission; playing Holgate because Jagielka's legs have exploded.

We know how it was supposed to go here: like at S'ton...which is what Koeman was indicating would happen.

The fact you see a plan should be the source of any giggling around here. Lol.

Dowell isn't being sent out on loan because Koeman values the way he cleans his Callaway's.

Stay strong Dave.

A plan?

I see a flexible manager, a manager who has been willing to give everybody a chance in the last 6months, a manager who doesnt have "favourites", a manager who keeps players in the team on merit, a manager willing to give the kids their chance in the first team and retains them when they take their chance, a dark knight, a silent protector, Ronny K.

Haha okay, we'll have to disagree.

Come on. Gueye was our best player the first half of the season. Losing him was no 'happy accident'. Koeman has also had to cope with the long-term loss of his record signing.

He started off very well. I didn't think he acquitted himself that well in the last few months, tbh. Davies was well worth a run out either alongside him as a replacement for Barry or in place of Gueye.

Bolassie's absence has simplified things and got us playing a bit better. that feller was a massive waste of money.

Kieran really knows how to get that shaft gleaming, but ok, this is what we like to see.
