Ronald Koeman discussion

[Mikeonlythebestwilldo]

Unfortunately he seems like he was regarding RK.

If he does walk who is next ?

I haven't a clue but it won't be who we want

FRYING PAN=FIRE!!!!!!!

What's scarier is that that could actually be true haha

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

nothing, haven't since 96. they're both failures but Martinez at least had some high points during his tenure

This guys only real highlight in 50 odd games was the 4-0 win over Man City

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

What's the UCL acronym for ?

Also what are the odds he players Gueye and Schneiderlin in next game ?

Uefa champions league mate.

 

[BrendanGOT]

He's 8/11 to be next manager to go for what it's worth

Bookies playing it safe I'd say as well as people probably lumping on when he was 2/1 and evens earlier

 

[Joey66]

I think you're in a minority there mate

No he chatting his usual tosh!

Well if he plays them in every home game despite the level of opposition, he'll certainly do it against Brighton (if he's still there).

Please stop it with the Moyes shouts. I'm fragile enough.

 

[dannyboy]

Those next few fixtures look awful. Can anyone really see us getting a result at Brighton? I can't either. Arsenal have enough to run rings around us and Leicester away is never going to be easy.

Lukaku saved Koeman last season.

Without Lu, we throw so many of those games and generally play crap.

Not to mention how much work Barkley did for him.

Mate Lukaku or Barkley they play for Everton. Its their job to play to their 100% Koeman or no Koeman. Everyone agreed Barkley needed to improve his game play and that is what Koeman asked him to do but he chickened out from fighting for his place and was badly advised. Again not Koeman's fault. Lukaku has 2 gash seasons of Martinez to realize he needed a change. And he had pretty much known the team he joined yet ge gavr his 100% as well which is what you expect from a professional footballer. Now compare that to Williams, Gana, Schneiderlin? When your defence is so porous how can you expect a confidence in the attacking players to express themselves?

The managers in modern day football take bullets everytime when the players blow hot and cold. And its not right. We are not Chelsea who will have multiple managers available to us.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

I was slaughtered for saying I'd sooner have Moyes over Koeman.

Probably quite rightly...

Still, I'm not convinced Moyes would have done any worse - certainly not in the transfer market anyway.

/scarpers ducking and diving.

Ahh another classic blame the fans shout. Love it.

Take it you've never had to manage a challenging situation or manage an organisation through adversity?

Is it not obvious that almost a total new team, lack of new striker (out of Koeman's control) plus the fixture list we were given was always going to be extremely challenging

Need to support the team while they ride it out

The problem here is the fans rather than the manager - small minded, short termist couch potatoes who will get stuck in at the first sign of of bad run, compounding the negativity, when actually what the team, and manager needs to get out of this situation is some strong support.....

One of the best strikers we've had statistically has been Romelu Lukaku - underappreciated and criticised by the fan base - who then wonder why he rubbed in his goal celebration on his return

Martinez deserved the criticism in the end and was kept in a year too long - he'd been given plenty of time however. Koeman hasn't had time yet - lots of change in the team and a tough fixture list which isn't getting any easier - Lyon, Arsenal, Chelsea coming up....

Who would you replace him with? David Unsworth? (with respect, total gulf in terms of experience). It was hard enough to get him in and a replacement of the same callibre would be hard to come by. People wanted Lukaku out and then discover how hard it is to attract and land a quality replacement

The best thing fans can do is support Koeman and the team - provide the positivity to help turn results around. Buying a striker and center back in Jan will help the cause...

Tough fixture list?? That Cyprus team, Burnley, atalanta, Bournemouth n- Our performance was shocking against these - not helped by koemans insistance on 2 defensive mids every game and no wing play.
