Still think he's an excellent manager.

Thought he looked rough on MOTD just now.

Acting cool, but the pressures got him.

Matter of time.

Definitely. The only players, and i'm very wont to do this, that deserve individual criticisms for me are Ashley Williams, Morgan Schneiderlin and Gylfi Siggurdsson. Whilst others are suffering from tactics and formation and obviously confidence, these 3 only in my opinion of course are woefully under-performing and are still mostly getting starting places.

I for the life of me cannot see what Schneiderlin offers in the middle, Siggurdsson is just struggling and seems to be carrying his transfer fee around with him and Williams is a bloody disgrace of a defender.

Koeman needs to carry the can for all of this and has outstayed his welcome in my fading eyes.

Your eyes look just fine to me Bernie - spot on!

While I agree we have other quite major issues, our lack of anything potent up top is the key one. For me anyway.

We offer zero threat. So teams have nothing to worry about when playing us. A striker with any threat would have been a focal point for attacks. We simply don’t have that now. Which in turn leads to large spells of pressure against us which the back line can’t deal with.

Yes it's defo a key one, no doubt.

Lyon is key, pretty much a must win.

Davies has to start over one of Schneiderlin and Gueye, tbh I'd be tempted to drop the pair of them.

Two actual wide men as well please, Vlasic did well today, Kev made a good impact, that surely picks itself.

One of Rooney or Sigurdsson in behind DCL.

Niasse on and go 4-4-2 if we need a goal 2nd half.

The changes are obvious, Koeman. Your move.

Kilbane has took him (and us) apart on the BBC website. Pressure mounting.

I’ve got a feeling he’ll got with a back 3 to combat their forward line and play both Gana and another DM to handle Fekir.

Honestly I think Koeman knows he can't bring Williams and Martina back into the fold atm. Which would mean Holgate at CB with Kenny at RWB, and I just can't see that happening.

Think he'll go the same back 4 as today.
