[TheFinnFan]

Turned toward a manager who's proving his worth as a coach is another way of putting it.

6 months and youre in this state..Jesus Christ davey. .

Koeman will bring trophy/trophies mark my words

 

[Blue Cheese]

Oh thanks grammar police I don't check spelling like you btw.

Well maybe you should whilst your insulting folk. (He's got me on ignore, thank flip.)

 

[Moomin]

Erm...... this is the Koeman thread. Can we please discuss him and not the current manager of the Belgium team.

Fellas, this thread is supposed to be a discussion on Ronald Koeman, but seems to be spiralling all over the place and regurgitating Messrs Moyes and Martinez.

If you want to discuss those former mangers, go to the respective threads and let's try and keep thus thread to Koeman.

Thank you.

At this time last season Koeman's Soton had just lost to Norwich, reading a couple of their forums yesterday the knives were out for him.But 13 points from the next five games calmed the crisis.What I like about him he stays calm and seems to be able to motivate players when they are at a low point.|Something our last manager lacked in spades.

 

[Hangleton]

Somebody made the comment yesterday about the team not yet having a style. I see that as a distinct advantage. Everyone knew how to beat us under the last regime - because we only had one way of playing.

He's straight talking, cuts through the crap and seems to learn from his mistakes.

I was very critical of Barkley V Hull, but I have every confidence he will become a proper player under Koeman.

Nothing on grammar mate, I just like to see the fraud insulted properly ha ha.

 

[Sharpys top lip]

I've said all along he HAS to be given the next 2 windows to bring his own players in, Depending on the backing he is given. This time next season we'll be in a better position to judge him.

 

[Nymzee]

We've played crap, we're in 7th place, he's got barely any of the type of players he wants to show his Everton team.

Let's judge him next season after Jan/Summer transfers when we can actually play the type of football he wants us to play. Right now it's all about long ball pragmatism and whilst that is a little boring to watch I've been pining for a touch of pragmatism for years since, you know, this is a results business.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

He showing that he got more different approaches to Martinez who stuck to one way of playing. Koeman will change his formation depending on the opposition, like 352 against a team who was playing two upfront.

The difference was Martinez set - up not worrying about who the opposition was (think he more or less said this in some interviews) whereas, as you say,Koeman does take into consideration who we're playing.

Typing error. Like I said I don't check spelling. You may I don't.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Southamptons second half of last season was fantastic. If we can replicate that we could be in for a good finish.

Barca considering him ...
