Ronald Koeman discussion

[Goat]

'Martinez was worse though' is not enough to give Koeman a blank cheque. Obviously he will get time (as he should) and still has my backing, no one I've seen is calling for him to go, is it too much to ask though for him to take cup competitions seriously and keep his mouth shut in front of the press a bit more?

Hes an honest man.

I dont see an issue here, hes basically said the players are rubbish and dont follow his instructions.

Surely you agree?

He needs to bank some sort of confidence with the fans. Simple as.

Until he does he's on a very short leash.

He's getting paid a ton of money to get those players to listen.

Perhaps he isn't right for the job.

I think he took the fa cup seriously. Put out a strong side, teams just still full of bottlers

He deserves the same chance Moyes and Martinez got but he must be judged by the same yardstick too. Accepting 7th and throwing away the cups wasn't good enough for the other two so it shouldn't be accepted so readily now.

Tbf the same players didnt put the effort in or listen with martinez either. Players need to be held accountable as well

Its easier to get different players in, cos if we replace the manager, he will still have the same rubbish players.

Yeah, pretty much. Apart from being 3 points better off than this time last season, he's pretty much failed in every other respect. I was actually okay with our erratic league season but the tame and swift cup exits have been a massive blow to my confidence in him.

For me both of them built a bank of leeway.

Koeman has not.

 

[Jags..class]

Im not judging Koeman due to the players who have put poor performances in for the late 18 months.

He started with Valencia and Coleman on the wings whilst he's got Mirallas and Deulofeu on the bench. That's a joke in itself. Bringing on Kone was also ridiculous as was starting with Barry. His subs were poor, ultimately he takes the credit or blame for what the players do so if they come out not arsed which they have done in both cups then that is a reflection on him.

Its patently obvious he's not the right man for the job he will be up the road by this time next season.

We are stuck with him for now.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I concur........... to assume he wanted Morgan in and that he would start today is absurd.

I think he did. And I think he will start on Sunday. Koeman has seen the problem that Barry causes the team

Koeman has not.

Koeman's hitting his main target for the season (European football) after half a season with an inadequate squad and without proper investment. Hasn't been pretty, but he's doing it.
