Ronald Koeman discussion

[matty1878]

Don't think it's a risk, if you use this squad of players properly we wouldn't be anywhere near relegation. Give him a go and evaluate in the summer.

Well maybe we will find out

Mark Warburton.lollollol

I'm a Celtic season ticket holder and I genuinely believe he could do a job at Everton. They dominated us in that semi final if he were in charge of a budget like the one of Everton he could have a team playing seriously good football.

Goodnight to this thread! I hope I feel more positive when I wake up...Don't argue too much we will come good eventually!

No they didn't, it was clear Unsworth was in charge and I think he's a better coach than the joker. Nothing to lose giving him a go as caretaker.

Yes he is a better coach as that is what he is, Ronnie isn't. We shouldn't be spending 150m and then appointing from within. We are past that now. Bad result against Burnley and I'd be on the blower to Ancelotti. Need to aim high.

 

[matty1878]

He could stay in charge until the end of his contract and I still don't think he'll do anything. We're just wasting our time with this joker, same as we were with Martinez.

So if we are wasting are time whoever we get is going to have to start the whole thing again

Tuchel, Pulis or maybe Mark Warburton?

All three different kinds of managers that would get the team playing I think.

I know Pulis may sound a stupid choice but with the current squad a manager like him would make us one of the harder to beat teams in the league.

While I believe in results over style, Mark Warburton would not be a bad appointment by any stretch of the imagination. He installs a winning underdog mentality in his players as shown with wins for Rangers such as the Scottish cup semi final victory and many wins at Brentford. In Scotland he was horrendously unlucky in having to compete with the best side Scotland has seen since the Martin O'Neil side or [Poor language removed] Advocats Rangers.

Without jumping on either the In or Out bandwagon, I just have to say...

How many times does he have to make changes at half time before he realises that persisting with the same formation and tactics IS NOT WORKING?

I thought he was supposed to be the pragmatic, do-whatever's-necessary type of manager that we'd need for our transition period.

Instead he's turned into this stubborn, two DM's, 3 #10's and no wingers type of manager and LITERALLY everyone but him can see that it's not working.

Just please, for the love of god, try something different at the weekend instead of waiting until we're 1-0 down at half time before making changes just in time for a valiant but ultimately futile attempt at getting back into the game.

This is just one factor that is incredibly worrying. Changing tactics/formation/personnel occasionally at half time is generally the sign of a good manager, one who realises the game plan isn't working and subsequently adapts his team to the conditions of the match so they're better prepared for the second half.

Changing things at half time essentially every other game is the complete opposite of this; it's incredibly worrying. Especially when it doesn't make things better *cough* Spurs at home.

It's been said about Koeman before but he doesn't seem to possess a definitive ethos around how he wants whatever team he manages to play football. This can be a good thing, as dogmatic managers like Klopp and Wenger (don't forget good ole Bobby Martinez) are guilty of persisting with flawed ideals and are too stubborn to change. The flip side to this of course is that when things are going badly, it doesn't help when you have no idea what you're team is trying to do, as they have no identifiable style. As you say yourself Koeman has a reputation as much more of a pragmatic manager, yet he's now suddenly become incredibly stubborn. Either that, or he has no clue whatsoever what our best starting 11 and tactics/formation should be.

It's even more painful though when you consider how well he did with Southampton and what a solid, well-balanced team he assembled whilst there. It's like he's just forgotten everything good he did there.

If we win Sunday I bet it's a lot lot quieter in here.

I have huge misgivings about the current squad of players but we are lucky to be in a league where there's such a lack of quality outside the top six sides. We should plod along picking up points until Christmas.

I'm not even sold on Koeman either, I just don't see a better alternative out there so why change? Folk on here would only want the next manager gone soon enough.

True, but he'll still insist on picking the same crap side before he changes it late on, you watch mate.

Getting bored of the fella now, he's pig headed same as Brown shoes

Ancellotti is utterly dreamland stuff

Suddenly it stuck me very clear.

3 the strikers we have aren't very good compared to what we had lol

We were always going to struggle to replace Lukaku but we've still got some decent players. Koeman however isn't playing most of them regularly and can't set the team to play decent attacking football.

I agree mate he's annoying with not knowing his starting 11 yet and trying to fit square pegs in round holes..:. But but I think he will come good and he's the best we can get right now that's just my
Take.
