Ronald Koeman discussion

[davek]

That is what is most frustrating about today's performance (or lack of!) because they were nothing special in the slightest. We made it easy!

Taking away the shambolic display today and how low it can make us feel, for those saying they can't seen an improvement is laughable.

We've still got a long way to go, and one element of that is to be able to rid ourselves of this curse, but there's been many positives steps.

Their defence and midfield: I cant recall a worse combination of 7 outfield players assembling for them.

It was appalling we struggled against that rubbish.

you didnt answer the question about the very easy run of games we've had up until this point of the year.

Thought there were no easy games in the Prem? The team that blew us off the park today have been beaten by the teams you see as easy. I await your explanation of this anomaly with interest

 

[Thomasc]

we've had an extremely easy run of games up to this point this year - be honest now.

So basically, even when he does well, you will look for an excuse as to why he does well?

That seems to be what you are saying here?

 

[davek]

At least we lost to a good side in that shambles. Today we didn't.

In that Chelsea game they could and should have won, without fear of exaggeration, 11-0.

How did Chelsea get on today? Asking for a friend.

they had an easy game at home against Palace mate. 1-0 up after 5 minutes I heard..

It just goes around and around in circles this.

We really need to forget last year and concentrate on the present.

Martinez was a complete dud, there is no denying that, any suggestion otherwise is quite simply just picking pointless arguments.

Koeman has got it wrong a few times. Yes the defeat against Chelsea was awful, but by the same token he must be given massive credit for beating Man City 4-0.

If we get a result at old trafford mid week he will be a hero in most peoples eyes again bar a few usual posters. They aren't going to change their minds

People forget that this isn't the Liverpool of the 70s and 80s who were dominating the league, domestic cups and European competitions.

Nor is it the Liverpool side under Rafael which credit to him had the likes of Torres, Gerrard, Alonso and Mascherano in their starting XI.

Lots of ifs and buts about lacking some of our more influential players, who may have played a pivotal part, but those on the pitch shied away.

8 of the 7 played?!

Ha Ha. I think you might want to start again there mate.

They had their absentees too. Lallana is pivotal to them and Henderson is hopeless but seems to give them heart.

Us though: there's no excuse when Wolves are going there and handing them their arse. Imagine how much more proud Koeman would have been if they'd played like they did!

But that wasn't my point. I stated their defence and midfield 7...you gave me 8 players in return.

Lol.

No perfect storm then?
