As said above, results and success cut right through that. He's not my cup of tea but so what. Win cups and/or get CL football and my ramblings amount to the square root of f.a..

Over to him.

Being able to say "we told you so" to a lemon on the internet if he does come good isn't worth the hassle of dealing with the constant negativity which is spewn in pretty much every thread from here to Morgs' on a daily basis. Isn't there ANYTHING you do find positive about Koeman? How about the less defensive errors stat?

Still not great really is it. He hates this squad of players. Easy to see, after 3 days he was saying how unbalanced that we were. Still 50/50 on him tbh .One thing about him is he has a clear plan of what he wants. By this time next year we will know how good he really is.

????

It's a fine defensive record. Other than Chelsea/Spurs who are the top 2 in the league, here's third through seventh.

Goals Conceded:
Arsenal 22
Liverpool 23
Man City 22
Man Utd 19
Everton 23

Joint 7th with a team who supposedly leaks goals? I'd give it a 6/10 could do better.
**suppose 5 of them where Chelsea**

To be honest mate I was never a fan of Martinez but I backed him because he was the manager.
But some of our players let him down badly.
I'll never forget him standing in the technical area at Anfield as we got battered, I could have cried for him because he looked lost and lonely and some of those @@@@@ on the pitch needed a good shafting.

Heard Osman talk about that anfield 4-0 defeat where we faced 37 shots on goal. Gotta be some record that. Ossie in his interview said that before the derby he suggested to Bobby that we need to outfight Liverpool. Bobby on the other hand was stubborn in his tactics and wanted to keep faith in possession football and believed if we out played them we'd win. Ultimately RS sat back, invited us and then hit our [Poor language removed] defence on the counter.

doesn't explain in the slightest why the players rolled over and showed absolutely no fight though, does a possession game stop a player being physical when not on the ball or getting stuck in.

As for them letting us have the ball - think he remembers that wrong as the rs had 67% possession

For a local lad though Osman never once showed any kind of fight in a derby anyway
