We've been, at best, bog average away from home this season. If we have ambitions of top four then that needs to change. Because I'm a pragmatist by nature, one of the things I like about Koeman is his pragmatism, but he will need to shed some of that pragmatism next season and be more expansive and show more belief away from home if we're to kick on.

I think he has that in his locker, but only time will tell.

Don't mention the locker!
 


..if we're lucky. I genuinely think we'd have been in a relegation battle.

We absolutely would be. That would've been a six-pointer yesterday. A season of Elmohammady scampering up and down the right wing and the Clev being a snivelling little ballbag in midfield. Doesn't bear thinking about.
 
I think you've got a point around his is a managing expectations type of management.

However his statement yesterday you stated was saying top 4 is unrealistic next season, and that's a shocking misinterpretation, as it clearly wasn't.

Ultimately though, talk is cheap, I want to see year on year progress, and this year we've seen it.

If he comes out shouting from the rooftops about "I'll get champions league next year", it matters little - I'll judge it based on actions, not words.
I remember someone once saying " I'll get you Champions League", to me it was more like " I'll get you in the Championship..."
