Ronald Koeman discussion

[Deckard2049]

Whatever happens with Koeman this team needs much more investment; which is a painful statement to have to make given our highest summer spend ever. Simply not a good enough team for where we supposedly want to be. The question is now we've lost most of our saleable assets, will Moshiri provide the funds required?

He was okay. I like how positive he is but there's no end product to his game at the moment.

No, but he did have Holgate as his attacking partner on that side. Having a defensively-minded fullback there isn’t ideal.

He held onto the ball through all sorts of insane pressure, that really impressed me.

Who was it that said the mike Walker era was much worse????

 

[Gladystweet]

Aye we did

Was nice thinking we were going to go and win the game for 10 minutes though, that made a change

For all our huff and puff, we're just not a threat. To think some said our goals would be spread around...

Stating the obvious, but goals win matches. We're handicapped before we even start.

Very doubtful. The more you think about it the more Villa this situation gets and that's what worries me the most.

If we get rid of Koeman and the next managerial appointment is a shocker we could easily find ourselves in relegation battles in the not too distant future.

The performances have been woeful all season.Let's not kid ourselves.He needs to go now.He goes now and things would look (you would hope) a lot rosier by Christmas.Why would anyone give him till then is beyond me.To me he has lost the players.They are all playing out of position,never in the same lineup/partnerships.This in itself makes them nervy and culpable of mistakes.

If anybody thinks that was a good performance by us tonight forget football and go and watch the world bog snorkelling championships or something. We huffed and puffed our way through that game and Lyon could have picked us off any time they wanted too. If it wasn't for Pickford it could have been 4. My god.

Bit over the top, no? Do you want me to qualify my statement so that a 2 year old can understand? FOR HOW WE HAVE BEEN THIS SEASON, that was a good performance by us tonight.

If anyone thinks that WASN'T a good performance compared to the rest of the year, they ought to take up free diving.

Koeman smiling when asked if the board are under pressure to let him go

He knows he doesn’t care. Either if he gets sacked he gets huge compensation and a new job in months probably. So effectively he would be better of financially being sacked!

 

[Prevenger17]

We are not good at football.

 

[riddick]

Soooo that's him not walking then.

 

[bicycleheader]

We need a transfer window that isn't an absolute [Poor language removed] show

That's all well and good, but can you actually tell me why you think this coach is worth hanging on to given the end goal is for us to win something or at least be pushing for top 4. I honestly don't see, and didn't see, anything in him to make me think he is the manager to do that.

It is bringing back some awful memories from that era. It's as bad when you factor in the money that was spent this summer. Koeman has to go. This won't right itself with him in charge.

 

[Ring master]

we have only scored 1st in a game [v sunderland],since august 21st,10 of our last 11 we have conceed 1st

 

[ilikecheese]

I just wish I could see what we're trying to do.

For me that's the biggest problem. It doesn't seem like the players have the foggiest clue what they are trying to do.
