Ronald Koeman discussion

Didn't Saints reverse an awful run of form last season pre-New Years by switching to 3 at the back and grabbing a load of wins inc. clean sheets?

Pattern emerging 2 games into the new year...


I hope it is not a pattern.

We need to be consistent all through a season in order to be competing near the top.

Play three at the back from the getgo if that is his preference.

Starting this coming August ;)
 

Cash.

He wont do anything here with his football. If he adapts to win here he loses his identity.

It's an interesting one.
I don't think it was cash. He likes a challenge and if you've followed his career he likes to learn from different football cultures. He talked about how he learned from the Italians when he was trying to improve Barcelona defensively. He could have taken the easy option and stayed at Barcelona.

City is undoubtedly his biggest challenge because he took over a team in decline. I really rate him as a coach and I think it will be interesting to see how he copes and adapts to the situation. I certainly wouldn't be writing him off just yet.
 
...no, that Guardiola needs a bit of moral support for slumping to 5th in the PL.

He was asked by a reporter do you think Pep will get it right in the Prem. He said Yes. What did you expect him to say?

They are friends, in fact it's fairly well documented that Ronk was instructed by Cruyff to take a young Pep under his wing and mentor him. Did an ok job.

Very much so.
His honours are from teams he inherited in leagues that are no more than 2 horse races.
I personnally think he's being found out bigtime in the prem , his reluctance to change will be his downfall.
Having to build his own team even with all the wealth City can bestowe on him is far far different than a team like Bayern that had won the treble the season before he took over there.
I'm of the opinion he see's this challenge as the ultimate , but as things stand he's miles away from it.
 

Pissed meself seeing that Koeman interview where he said that Guardiola will get it right some time soon.

CL winner x2
La Liga winner x3
Bundesliga winner x3
World coach of the year x3
In pub leagues with world class players, PL is 100 times harder then the Spainish league
