Maybe but do you have any idea what system these players could play in?

I don't.

But we're not on £6m a year I suppose.

Thats what im saying Ijjy for that amount I expect a bit more than throwing all the forwards on and hit and hope I said in the game thread all it lacked tactically was throwing the big centre half up ala Mick Lyons,and surely we have some one who can vary the corners we take

I don't really care who he sells or buys as long as we're successful. We've been too loyal to some players and overrated various others.

I don't think we'd get players better than them... especially Lukaku

We had Barkley, Baines, Deulofeu and maybe someone else taking corners in that game. They just can't do it.

The later it got the only option was lobbing all the forwards on. And it worked.

I do understand what you mean. It's hard though. The squad is miles away from where some people seem to want us to be right now. So so far away.

Not comfort no. But we least against Swansea last season we didn't this. Little things.

I can't blame the manager too much at the moment. I just can't.

he needs ro stick to sorting stuff out on pitch rather than twitter mate.

I just dont buy into him at mo. the same negative home games are no worse than roberto served. Does Ronald have a plan b in games? im not sure

It takes about 6 seconds to post a tweet. But that's by the by.

Plan b was lobbing every forward we have on today and it got us a point. Just about.

You don't have to buy into him of course. And I get why people are a bit iffy but with the squad of players we have I can't see how it could be doing much different to what it is doing.

The squad should at least look like a cohesive team though

It's hasn't for 28 months why would he be able to sort that inside 12 matches?

Koeman must now realize that he has inherited a mediocre squad, and a corporate mentality of accepting institutionalized inconsistency.

I don't see how it can when they don't look like footballers to be honest.

His after match quotes suggest he's now fully realising what a bunch of bags we have in our squad.

The blame lies with everyone involved in that shambolic transfer window, waiting until mid-August to do something. This is a direct result of that farce.

its a catch 22 situation. unless the results, league placings etc improve he will not be any better or worse than martinez. he wont be around for long as his plans are elsewhere, are we a team for short term attention? We need a longer term manager me thinks who can get the best out of what weve got as the moshri money aint been seen on players so far

Yea, but I suppose that's one of the reasons why we employ a manager Ijjy.

And on Tom Cleverley obviously.

Not sure mate. At first I quite liked the fact he's definitely short term. Means he should get things sorted sooner rather than later. But this is too soon to be expecting to much for me.
