Ronald Koeman discussion

[davek]

We've been criminal in the market for a few years now not going to get a proper striker for back-up or to start with Rom. Pretty much every team in the league has 2-3 strikers of similar level and we have Rom as the Branston beans to Valencia/Niasse/Kone as Asda's own.

I think if Kev could/did play a full season he'd be getting 10.

Mirallas is no answer. We need a decent second striker. Trouble is if they are decent they'll know they'll be warming the bench most f the time because Koeman will go with Lukaku flanked by two either side of him giving width. I think he'd revert to a two upfront only in emergencies and not regularly. See Long's opportunities at S'ton.

You're the one making it more dramatic Dave

It is what it is: piss poor after the name Lukaku.

 

[Bluerover]

Nine league games unbeaten going into this - confidence should be good.

Big game for Koeman but I feel strangely ok

I agree mate. But reality is it's been the same for the last 4 seasons, not just this one.

8s and 7s is decent for non out-and-out attackers.

We are pitiful in that respect this season.

As said: Lukaku + luggage this team this season from an attacking perspective.

This is my biggest criticism of Koeman far too negative against the top teams its simply not working sitting back inviting pressure hoping to get that one lucky break away see out a 1-0 result sort of [Poor language removed] moyes use to pull with a much weaker team

 

[larbert toffee]

Don't diss the scousers then and carry on with the sheep.

Cheers mate I think that's what they call a bite.

We're a work in progress and have only lost 2 games vs the top 6 this season. Teams have gone at the likes of Spurs and been mauled.

 

[hktoffee]

Played Barry. No subs at half time. This is not good.

 

[Mrk]

He's got to take responsibility for today's result. Negative formation and approach to the game.

 

[Mickey]

What was his plan to win this?.

 

[wainy]

Unacceptable for no substitute at this moment in this game.

 

[4737carlin]

Just pathetic this, not even a plan A today

 

[AaronTheBlue]

His fault today, set everything up wrongly.

Hopefully he owns up to it and learns from it.

We've played into their hands today with team selection
