Ronald Koeman discussion

[Zatara]

We haven't got a top keeper though...

And fair enough, if that's your opinion.

To me he's just somebody who tells it like it is.

And trust me, Mr Roberto Martinez has got plenty of skeletons in his closet. Far more than Koeman I'd wager...

Lets say we signed Pickford / Butland + Gueye and Williams for last season...8th.

This season weve got stek and bolasie + valencia...no game plan apart from "Press" lol which the players cba to.do anyway so its just sit back in numbers and play long ball.

We must play more long balls than west brom.

We're 7th, not 17th.

And yes, we're not going down.

Our bad slump has lasted just as long as our good form (game-wise) did at the start of the season.

What good form, we haven't had one single full 90 out of that lot yet and at the moment are atrocious as are the tactics employed. Like I said lets look in a few weeks because our favourable start(lol) is now over and we are not playing well.

Dont you think that a top keeper instead of howard would have gotten us more points??? Also add williams and Gueye....we would have been at least 8th.

We are in a far worse position playing wise than last season this time around...we were scoring goals and looking hot apart from howard throwing them in which led to the slump in form due to results going against us. Also Mori partnering stones with jags out for ages.

I dont have any 'agenda' against Koeman. I think hes a horrible, obnoxious, arrogant creature who doesnt deserve to be our manager...

I truly dislike everything about him. Not an agenda...i dont mince my words about him.


Said the same thing since we were 1st linked...great player...so was Maradona.

Mate we could have had messi and ronaldo last season and we would have finished 11th.

Problem wasn't doing enough to win games, the problem was lasting 90 minutes to ensure them. So makes no odds who was in the team, still would have threww everything away.

But we didn't sign those players last season Zat so what are you on about?

Martinez signed Del, Cleverley, Mori and Niasse... (and Holgate)

 

[kenada_blue]

Not suited to or unwilling to.

His tactics require the players to play for 90minutes, rather than 10minutes.

90mins of hoooof

five wins from six is good form

How many goals did howard let in that were easy saves? he cost us about 10 points!!!

Williams in defence and gueye in front and we would have had more points...

Come on ffs its obvious.

By the very fact that you hate the man, you therefore have got an agenda against him by definition, as you're going to feed off every negative scrap in order to justify your hatred of the fella.

 

[Zatara]

So now with koemans players we should be finishing in 8th....we wont...not a chance in hell...not with this manager.

Long ball to bolasie...ffs all game long.

 

[Blue Cheese]

No toff, you are confused, decent results do not automatically mean good form. We haven't had a full 90 out of them, some of that falls on koeman as well. He should be doing better not moaning to the media

Well we're 7th and I'm yet to see a team who is currently below us who looks better or more consistent.

Saying someone has an agenda is generally perceived as a hidden connotation.

That isnt true for me.

Well, they do.

And when has he moaned to the media?

He gets asked questions and answers them?

What, you think he spends all of his working days on the blower to the papers, and not at the training ground?

 

[Zatara]

Wait till the halfway point...we will have either plummeted by then or Megson will have played people on merit.

 

[kenada_blue]

No we wouldn't as we had a manager who couldn't defend Zat

We've been imploding for the entirety of 2016.

We're in a better position now than we were this time last year when we were playing well.

Says it all.

You're ridiculous agenda against Koeman is DaveK esque.

Need to improve in the transfer window and ship out the deadwood.

A top 7 finish is the aim this season and we're perfectly on track for that considering there's 26 games left...

No doubt he'll get us 7th this season. Stated that from the off.

I'm just not sold on him long term.

Hope to be wrong.
