Problem is, compadre, you didn't want Koeman in the first place. You wanted De Boer above him.

You wanted Sissoko too. And then hoped people had forgot and used it as a stick to beat Koeman with

Your opinion is invalid. Hashtag sanctiomonus.

Haven't you got a baseball game to comment on instead? Now go rub up against some hopper and don't dare even @ me again when I warn you to back off.
Brutal.

Nice work brah

Brutal vaulting right there.
 
Problem with that mentality is that if it takes that long to get them performing in that specific system, then the season to all intents and purposes could be left down to trying to finish seventh again and hoping one of the top six win the fa cup.

Plus trying to get players bedded into a system whilst at the same point having already played six games without several key components needed to even make that system work is frankly bonkers at best and horrible naivety at worst.
I agree but it seems that is koemans way of doing things. Back at Southampton he did have the players to make that system work where here he has essentially had to start from scratch and on a mass scale for a top 7 club.

I remember going back to November and he was saying the players couldn't play the pressing system he wanted but then persevering with it every week and it did get me a little doubtful about him as a manager. I think in our case we just need to accept it and hope the system works because if it does we will be very hard to beat and break the ceiling as a team and not as a bunch of individuals.

Take the likes of lewen, lookman, sandro , holgate, Davies to name a few. 3 years down the line they could be fantastic for is and all playong together as a unit, the negative for koeman is that he has them all a few years too early

I know I'll get slated but I'd rather have Holgate alongside Keane in a back four against more mobile teams.
I'd go with that too,both of the others will be an ongoing liability when we play away from home,meaning we'll always start with a negative set up.
 

this was one of the first matches in some time where Koeman seemed unwilling/able to make any meaningful changes. he is usually very proactive about fixing his own mistakes.

i was certain he would take off Williams at half to switch to a more attacking formation. down two, why on earth not? that same move worked quite well the last time.

but all he did was replace the personnel, though it was clearly mostly the shape, and not the players, that were the problem.
 
It was a bad performance but it wasn't peak koemoyes. That title goes to last seasons derby at goodison where we parked the bus at our own ground for 45 minutes against our biggest rivals with the inevitable and obvious outcome of getting shafted in the last minute. That was the most pathetic white flag waving 45 minutes of recent years.
