Ronald Koeman discussion

[hktoffee]

Our squad is just pants compared to the teams we want to be competing with

We all thought they were the best squad in 20 years on paper last year lol.

It's a possibility, can't see us getting much from our next two matches, and, if we do, it'd be a bonus.

However, we're on 20 points and we then have Hull and Leicester to play which ( I think ) would take us to the half way stage. Get there with ( say ) 25 points on the board and you're not in a relegation fight. To be fair, it's hard to see where the next win is going to come from, but some people didn't want Koeman here in the first place, so, while they don't want us to lose, there is a silver lining in any losses for them.



Defo, it's an awful run we're on, and it's his job to sort it out.

Sorry mate. Whilst I agree with a good bit of your post, how can anyone look at us beating anyone the way we are playing.
Suggesting we can beat Hull for instance borders on arrogance.

This squad is a proven midtable coup with weak mentality so the only way to improve is to get a new team in. Of course it does not help when Koeman just stick with the same crap every week and only play the best football in the last 10 mins with 2 strikers up front.

So why doesn't Koeman see that mate and start games with 2 strikers up front?

You are indeed correct, your math is bad.

6 wins 4 draws 5 defeats

Koeman sits on

5 5 5

Fffsssss


Please don't tell my girlfriend, she's ashamed of my math as it is.

both hull and Leicester are away games, which is where we have been particularly poor. I see a max of 2/3 points from those games.

At this moment in time I'm struggling, possibly for the first time ever on GOT, to disagree with you !

I wasn't saying we would, I was saying if we got that number of points then we wouldn't look like we were in the relegation zone.
We can beat Hull and we can beat Leicester, but, on current form, we wouldn't. Hence Koeman has a lot of work to do this month.

I really don't have a clue mate. I don't understand. I think he should start Valancia with Lukaku. It is the most effective...

That would do right now.

Needs to swallow his God dammed pride the fat headed tit and do the following: 442, Davies & Holgate in, NEVER, EVER, play Mccarthy, Cleverley, mirallas again. Start showing he cares. Chase half the squad out the door. And if he can't get results and/or improve the play do one.

At least shall try to change and see if it works better. The current tactics and fomation are not working.

Worryingly, 5 away defeats on the bounce now.

Why can't Davies even make the bench?
Seems Koeman is in a minority of one who doesn't rate the lad.

Why did Martinez labour on so long with an approach that became doomed? Quite simply, single mindedness and a stubborn belief in a doctrine.

Or perhaps it's because 4-4-2 is still the taboo of modern English football; a system that has became seen as the anti-Christ to a new doctrine.

Whatever it is, it's incredibly frustrating. I'm not advocating using it in the medium to long term, however in the short term it's worth the risk.

4-2-3-1 or however people want to label it simply isn't working for us and hasn't for quite the while now.

Plus any new manager must have a sacking clause where they don't get paid full amount as it doesn't encourage goof management it remains shitness gets rewarded

Foe X amount of minutes in games Lukaku looks hopeless on his own up front, Valencia comes on and Lukaku looks like a different player, Koemans you would think can see this.

Ironically we play with more freedom when a second forward comes on, yet it's never a starter.

I forsee a 3-5-2 coming into play soon
