Ronald Koeman discussion

[MACCA75]

Annoys the crap out of me this

There's a difference from taking over a under performing squad and simply a crap one

Courtino, Lallana, Frimino, Sturridge, Mane as his forward options

We've got Barkley, Lukaku, Valencia, Lennon and Bolasie

He signed 2 of them!

 

[Tubey]

His biggest achievement is "not being any worse than Martinez".

That's not an achievement, given that any one of us could have done the same thing.

 

[Tubey]

He signed 2 of them!

And two of the other three are apparently worth close on £100m combined and are regarded as two of the hottest prospects in world football haha

It looked like Koeman sent us out second half and said to everyone "play where you want lads"

Problem is for the most part the best players don't want to leave in January especially if they are still playing European football

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

It's not OK, OK.

"8 minutes was too long to keep the draw". Either something has gotten lost in his internal translation to English or something is very wrong with his mentality.

 

[ChrisBlue]

I don't want to bang on about them I'm just making the point there is no sign of improvement anywhere and a good manager should be having an influence by now. We seem to be going backwards

We don't

We seem to be doing the exact same thing as the last two seasons, We will prob finish around 9th - 12th, Same as the last two seasons

This squad of players is awful, Just look at that midfield, It's baffling we've ended up with such a poor group

 

[paulbefc]

Do you really think this is a talented squad?

Sure. This side could trouble the top 6 if we could stumble on a system that works for us.

 

[Prevenger17]

It's not OK, OK.

We deserved nothing and got nothing. Gueye, Coleman and McCarthy deserved something

 

[Walter Ego]

2.5 years ago under Martinez we had a talented set of players. Apparently now theyre all crap. They cant of all coincidentally got crap at the same time can they.

 

[ChrisBlue]

Sure. This side could trouble the top 6 if we could stumble on a system that works for us.

We have an ageing back four and zero attacking threat in the middle of the park, Add to that one decent striker and wingers who would struggle to cross the road

"8 minutes was too long to keep the draw". Either something has gotten lost in his internal translation to English or something is very wrong with his mentality.

We set up for the draw the whole second half. We were gassed after the first 45.

We have a talented squad, but they have no determination, which is why they're at Everton I'm afraid.

It's going to take a while to gut the squad of the cowards; let's hope Moshiri has deep pockets.

"The first 45 minutes was outstanding"

 

[Dirty Dutch]

Leicester went from nearly relegated to Champions with a new manager over a summer.

So stupid to compare everything with leicester while everybody knows that happens once in 100 years.

 

[brieverton]

If we had evidently been "up for it" at least, in some of the recent games, we might have turned a few draws into wins.

But in saying that I'm very disappointed and concerned with the standard of fare being served up under Koeman.

Wenger was right last week when he said we played like it was a cup game and probably couldn't sustain it.

We seem to have reached a point where we have a squad of players utterly bereft of anything approaching even a modicum of finesse and flair. Reliant on hoof, huff, and puff which will get exposed 9 games out of 10.

Tonight was like watching a boxing contest. We tried to hit hard and early but succeeded in hitting elbows only. And then we tired and the inevitable became that.
