Ronald Koeman discussion

[Gerbs]

Better than getting the knives out after one defeat in three.

I think most are upset we have played actual football in zero in three

 

[Huyton Layne]

He had a nightmare today and sadly didn't see it.

 

[Slippin Jimmy]

What baffles me is we do not pay anything like his saints team, which is what I had hoped for. He has not gone for width or real wing backs. Also, as yet no target man...what is his plan?

To defend, that's basically it

Football is a results game. Playng pretty tippytappy football and losing isn't going to get us anywhere. Like it didn't under you know who.

There is more than one way to attempt to play football than tippy tappy. We are never going to achieve anything if we concede every time we play a decent side. Hoping for a draw or a 1-0 win via counter is no way to play football. Especially when you bring in an attacking force with siggy and Rooney

 

[CerberusFX]

It's going to be difficult not to bottle it when the manager has no faith in the squad. Setting us up to hope for a draw obviously not worried about playing football or going for it

No faith in a squad that he has assembled himself, doesn't make any sense sorry.

World class manager

lol

 

[Joey66]

Rooney will get him sacked with a word with the board if those tactics carry on!

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Sometimes i wonder about him. Its clear as day we are not at the races today formation and personal wise after 10 mins. We didnt press. We were dreadful . Allowing crosses in. Way off the pace. We looked wring in thw middle.But he stands there with his arms folded for 45 mins??? Doing nothing about it. Why?

That's not the only alternative though is it, so why pretend it is?

Show me one move he's made that showed faith in the squad and showed he believed we could win. We didn't even have a go at it against Hajduk

 

[Lanolin]

So predictable. No, we weren't great (dunno what the second half was like, turned it off after the second goal) but there's no point playing "I'm the best fan because I want the best for my team even if we've only played 2 games." Doesn't work for anyone.

But nor is there any point saying 'Nevermind that we've looked like a half decent team for all of about an hour after 7 games, I'm going to say everything's boss.'

Nobody (I don't think) is saying sack the manager or that we're going to be relegated, but what we've seen so far has been disappointing. It seems like we're just writing games against good sides off at the moment, and that's extremely disappointing considering the money we've spent and the ambitions we're supposed to have.

 

[LEONARD]

Not much 'PROTDECKTIFFITY' today.

Again, it's HIS squad. Questions should be asked about anything he 'demands' if what you are saying is right.

I know what your saying but how can he not have faith in players he bought, he asked for and wanted, sorry but that doesn't sit right; I think it's his tactics more than the players to be honest.
