Ronald Koeman discussion

[davek]

Mate we were the last English team in Europe by virtue of europa league games being on Thursdays

Last 16 of a European tournament. Equal best showing in Europe since we won the ECWC.

David? Is that a b...b...bar chart?

I brought this into the debate because an image can cut through a lot of the claims and counter claims. It just brings a bit of science to the proceedings.

Consider this notice that you have been excommunicated from the Pie Chart Society of GOT. We do not tolerate heresy

Pie charts can leave someone open to the charge of skewing data to fit an argument. That's something I now guard against.

Bloody hell, you'd have given Kendall about 7/10 in 1985.

9.

To get 10 you have to win something.

?????????????

Yes. And it demonstrates that in this bar a pint of Dutch Gold is worth much more than 3 Bob.

?????????????

Nothing inconsistent there.

Kendall would have gotten 11/10.

Is this a jibe at my McGeady pie charts? I still reckon he could do a job

 

[Goat]

I think currently 7/10 for Koeman would be a fair rating, based on our current placing, only a top finish 4 would push it higher than that, but to go the other way, if West Brom catch us, it would drop to below 5/10.

No mate. It's just that the this is the Koeman era now and bar charts are more angular and Germanic.

I would put it this way. If we were to rate it like it was some sort of league table, I would place Ron in about 7th of 20. Which is good. If he was doing slightly better, I'd place him around 6th. I think winning the league would probably warrant a 1st place standing on my hypothetical performance measurement table

I can live with that.

I realise @davek creates the impression that he wants to disagree.. so instead I'll just ask this question:

How many of the following do you want in the present side/squad and picking up wages from the club?

Howard, Hibbert, Stones, Oviedo, Geri, Pienaar, Gibson, Cleverley, Osman, McGeady, Niasse, McAleny

 

[Saint Domingo]

9/10 for a season with no trophies and 5th place. Christ. Nil Satis though.

It's a bar chart of your own opinion. It's not going to bring any science to anything.
