Ronald Koeman discussion

[dholliday]

Aside from shipping 6 at home against them in the Mickey Mouse last season

ouch, didn't know that.

thinking as it's a league game right after beating Arsenal, and it's Koeman's first derby, he and his players should be right up for this.

A win tonight would be wonderful, but in the bigger picture I don't think a win, draw or loss changes anything.

I think overall Koeman has probably been disappointed by a number of players in his squad. I think that before joining he may have believed it was stronger than it has proven to be.

I think at present it is a holding exercise for him, until he is able to bring in the players he wants. I can imagine that he would like to add players in January, but it is a difficult time to buy good players so we will have to wait and see what happens.

That second half was pathetic.I thought we turned the corner after the Arsenal win but i was wrong.Koeman needs time but a spade has to be called a spade.He blotted his copy book big time tonight imo.

We play awful football and I have no problem in saying he is a worse manager than martinez and moyes.

Hang on, Koeman didn't suddenly tell the players to stop closing down and competing for second balls.

Team wasn't arsed. Haven't been for quite some time - try when they want to.

Go away Ron. Calvert lewin on in a game of that importance? Tactics are dogshit we just do the same thing every game. Clump it forward and hope for the best, gone back years in 4 months under him.

 

[Dirty Dutch]

If we wanna go forward we need at least 3 or 4 new players. Creativity on the midfield and better wingers for a start. It doesnt matter what manager we have, with these players we have the same problems again and again.

It's not responsible for us losing or anything, but why would you bring on a 19yo striker and play him RW when you have deulofeu and mirallas on the bench?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Shameful.

 

[allen]

McCarthy going off changed the match.

Can't see how it's Koeman's fault.

They were arsed, they were just spent because our fitness levels relative to Liverpool are pathetic.

Not quite as bad as loosing to that lot but here come the mob that haven't been seen since Arsenal

Del wasn't on the bench mate though i know where you are coming from. Don't think CL done anything wrong tbh and was happy to see him come on, just a shame since we couldn't take off Barkley or Lukaku as well.

Absolutely baffling substitution that.

Not Koeman's fault, and I hate the man-baby. The enforced changes didn't help, nor did Barkley and Lukaku distributing the ball to Liverpool players at every opportunity
