Ronald Koeman discussion

[Blues Harp]

So...he walks or is sacked and is replaced by ???????? If come Christmas we are still in a relegation battle what then ?? Another sacking ?? more calls for Moyes/Sam Allardyce/Pulis etc......? It could happen and result in mid table mediocrity for the forseeable....or the unthinkable ie relegation.

I dream for the days of 'mid-table mediocrity'.

Sadly we need to accept that we are now facing a few years of just treading water till the stadium is built.

We will probably sack Koeman before the year is out and appoint Unsworth till the end of the season, he will get us to around 12-14th in the League then appointed full time manager for a season or 3 where we will bob around in 15th or 16th till the stadium is built.

But its ok, cos he will play all our League Two standard youngsters and hes a proper blue.

not just the result tho is it? what if we scrape win like bournemouth?

The only thing I could think of after that Bournemouth game was how much it papered over the cracks, and how lucky Koeman got.

Genuinely growing sadder every day he's still employed.

It's like he sends out a load of attackers to try to fool us into thinking he's gone for an attacking setup.... then tells everyone to play as defensive midfielders... Even the CB's which is why we are weak in both attack and defence.... I don't get what he's trying to do at all.

Someone must be able to see some sort of plan, I genuinely can't.

I am seeing people liken him to Moyes a lot, he's literally nothing like.

Moyes had a plan. He wasn't brave against certain opposition... away... but even then he had the exception of the cup run to the final.
He had a gameplan to counter the lack of funds, and a style of football which yielded decent results by building a team to play his style as cheaply as possible.

Martinez also had a style to his play, a kind of slow build up kamikaze attack. Abandon the defence and slowly work the way up the pitch en' mass so to speak which gave us as many drubbings as it saw us beast the opposition, but you could see the objective and he plowed significant funds into certain types of players to play his way.

But it's like Koeman just seems to have bought any names that would come and then say go and play football.

I just cannot see a plan. I see a decent squad mind, and given a plan I think they could perform really well, they just don't seem to know what is wanted from them.

My concern is that we win at the weekend.

For a little bit of context, unless koeman has suddenly got a master plan that works for us, then i can see rallying calls all week after the international how we have to turn it around, season starts now etc bigging up the Brighton game. Then we go and win it, because individually at least we are so much better than them. But then over the next 3 weeks lose to Lyon Chelsea and arsenal to really put us back down again.

Except that Brighton result will give the club false hope in believing koeman is turning it around and those games are 'expected losses , seeing as though that is how we judge the team now. So before we know it we are stuck in the bottom 6, our of 2 competitions and clinging into false hope still as we were 2 seasons ago.

That isn't me saying I don't want us to win, I do but win with substance. Win and perform like a team for once with real tactics and real ideas. Because scraping a 1-0 against Brighton and looking terrible still serves us nothing but a twisted view on the current situation. I'd take 30 terrible wins sure in a season , but these terrible performances aren't winning us games.

Brighton will beat us and he won't get sacked, it'll only be the second unexpected loss you see.

Hello mein frandel I have been noticing a decline in your posting volume and I was worried but now you are back I am not worried

 

[efcforever]

Sorry to be so pessimistic but my feeling is we will lose against Brighton, Lyon and Arsenal and then Koeman will get the sack.

I just wish he'd go sooner before we find ourselves in the bottom 3.

I hope win on Saturday and he proves me wrong. I just don't think he can turn this round under the circumstances.

 

[kenada_blue]

To be fair he got us further than them!

Having spent £200mill he bloody should do

I think you forgot to quote the rest of the post chief.

Context being key
