Ronald Koeman discussion

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Would like him to hold his hands up now and again.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

The more and more I look at how threadbare our squad is in key areas, the less I can truly blame Koeman at this stage

I'll wait till he finally has his team before casting any real judgement

There's A LOT of work to be done though

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

For arguments sake let's say he isn't, then what Koeman should be doing is discussing that in house and keeping quiet in public.

He is dutch.

I would imagine he wanted Schniederlin here before Gueye left and did not want Barry playing 90 mins. Unfortunate to have both Besic and McCarthy on the treatment table. He has also raised the question as to why they are often injured.

I think he asked for Morgan, ready for today.

We are now out of the cups and almost safe for the season.

He will not pull his punches now with either playing or off field staff. And good because we have been ****'in around for too long now with excuses and failure!

 

[ianefc]

According to some, he deserved all of it

That's just me on the wind up. But no surprise what happened once his influence wore off.

 

[Paul w]

That's because the substitutes as football players are baffling

I meant substitutions.

 

[mkrudden]

He's right.

He's 100% right.

Ian you're losing credibility here simply due to your inconsistency.

What has Koeman shown you that excites you? Even subtle things? Little moves or shapes which make you think "give it 12 months and that will flourish"?

He's sorted the defence like you wanted. And he's obliterated our attack. Throwing money at better players who run more doesn't mean his master plan will come out of nowhere. Unless he's replacing them all?

 

[toffeejack]

it was exciting under martinez tbh, there was times of sideways passing, but we're seeing that now as well as dreary long ball stuff. Not one of our games this season has been enjoyable nor have we actually put in a good nor an enjoyable performance. We had a fair few breathtaking performances under martinez, it's just he couldn't organise a defence. But this is bloody awful under koeman, he should be doing better, we can win and win with style with these players (he got soton doing that with a worse squad), but it's not all his fault, the players are mentally fragile.

Pretty much there's a lot of factors to blame this on, ah well, give it two years and most will be forgotten with hopefully a very unrecognisable team of players.

 

[jceverton]

Exactly

Ah okay I get it now, face palms forehead!

Brings Kone back after yonks of not even making the bench, brings him on, and plays him out wide?

 

[tommye]

What other attacking options did he really have beside Kone?

Lookman is cup tied and DCL is injured

We're massively short in that area

We've already signed Lookman, but I still think we need another

Saido is the answer, WBA don't want to sell to Stoke, jump in with a 10 Million bid for him. He's got 6 months left on his contract and he won't be signing another. They'll bite our hands off

As much as I love you Mikey I have to say that you are in better condition as an athlete and I would prefer not to sign this chap if that's ok. Ta.

 

[kenada_blue]

I genuinely fear our fanbase are gonna hound him by the end of the season because they are so deluded in how much they overrate our squad. We've finally got a manager who is going to start gutting the deadwood and knows what it takes to be successful. Get behind him and catch a grip some of you.

He'll walk when he's doesn't get his own way like the man baby he is

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Brings Kone back after yonks of not even making the bench, brings him on, and plays him out wide?

Play him out wide. Play him up front. Kone will always be Kone.

You're killing me here Ian

What inconsistently? I wanted Koeman, I didn't want Martinez. Simple.

You called a poster crazy for pinning any of This on Martine, I asked if Moyes deserved ANY credit for 13/14

 

[mkrudden]

It's a simple question and you're a sensible guy.

Was Moyes responsible for us finishing 5th?

No.

Martinez took players and moulded them into something better. Simple answer.
