Lookman

On a train full of Brighton fans. They seem dead confident. Sake.

They have seen us on Match of the Day.....

He'll go for a 4-2-3-1.

It's not like it hasn't worked this season is it? Don't know what it will take for him to change the formation and really take the game to the opposition. Play vlasic and lookman on the wings, play Davies alongside Gana in the middle and siguardsson behind DCL.

What’s Koeman’s severance package worth?

Have a whip round to get rid?lol

I usually love the NBC peoples but they are mental.

"Do you see what Koeman is trying to do?"

"yes, he is trying to get youth in to the squad gradually". He's signed 8-9 players this window, 1 was what I would consider "young". He doesn't even have Lookman or Kenny on the bench even tho they mentioned that the team is missing pace and energy and "that's what these young players can and do bring".


And then they went on about the 'vote of confidence' without even talking about how fn terrible the 'unexpected loss' part of that was.

 

[Furey1878]

If the formation the club's twitter has is right then it won't be too bad IF Rooney stays up top and Vlasic and DCL are always moving for him.

Negative draw written all over it with that team.

If he can't work with people he doesnt' get on with , he's already an unprofessional manager.
Lookman, Kenny, Sandro - next he'll be blaming those signings on Unsy, Moshiri and Walsh.

I don't think it's that he doesn't get on with them personally; just a style clash. I think he's a dour manager who prefers stability over creativity - so anyone with an X factor in their game, like Barkley, Deulofeu, Lookman, and/or anyone who is young and unproven in their consistency, like Kenny, will be given short shrift.

I don't think it's a co-incidence that someone like Calvert-Lewin gets chance after chance, because he's one of those who will do a job over and over again and nothing much beyond that. He's a good player, but he's not one who will change a game.

That's what Koeman wants. The problem with that lies in when you get pedestrian and run out of ideas, like our entire team has.

He's not a risk taker. "The Dutch Moyes" is becoming an increasingly apt way of describing him.

Is there any live radio commentary for this that I can stream on the interweb outside of the UK does anyone know?

TalkSPORT have, or had, an international service and I have listened to games on it whilst abroad.

I don’t know if they still do or not but check then out.

 

[Goodison9]

any decent streams knocking about ?

 

[Ring master]

If you have anything with android download MODBRO. It has a few links to star sports, the Indian channel that has the game.

Its on way more than that 1 channel [i have choice of 7 myself],plus mobdro usually gets blocked by the prem league,unless you have a vpn,which not all can use

 

[Telford-Feb-85]

Not sure about the no pace. DCL is one of the fastest in the league, if skys stats are to be believed.

 

[Eggs]

Rooney needs to be told to stay up front and not drop deep
Siggy has to stay central and DCL and Vlasic told to offer width and only move inside if our full backs attack

..my concerns are that Vlasic is a central midfielder, he doesn’t fill the defensive void in front of his full back. DCL should be CF, Rooney will be up against two huge CBs so anything played in the air will come straight back. Ah well, fingers crossed RK has got a strategy in mind that will work.

Win you buggers.

Two DMs at home again.

Wonder what Tom Davies reckons he has to do to get a start.
