No mate, my position on this lot is consistent (unlike others): they have always been very capable of playing better football than the muck served up by Koeman until very recently. But they have ALWAYS BEEN AND REMAIN bottlers.

I do mate. I've stated the manager is on schedule this season.

But here's the issue for me: this season effectively ended earlier this month as a competitive entity. These players are very very good at performing when the pressure is off. If anyone thinks we'll be seeing a true representation of where they are at (and by extension how their manager is performing) they are sadly mistaken. We all know how much these players are bottlers when it matters. We can hold on to 7th this season but it's the first half of next season we'll see where we are and whether Koeman has changed matters.

I absolutely agree with your earlier assessment that Koeman needs to be challenging the top 4 by 2 years time (assuming the board do their bit.)

But to suggest he's not doing well this season is utterly absurd. We're well above the lowly 13th of last year. And Ron is slowly starting to overhaul the squad by removing the dross. It's a slow rebuild but the progress is evident. We're playing better and a harder team to beat. Lots more to go before we get where we want to be but it's a heck of a lot better.
 
Our increased spending of 30-40m max per season means we should be beating the likes of Utd who spend like 100m on one player.

I think Davek has proven it's all about attention and trolling people in his threads.

What kind of idiot would 'expect' Koeman to beat teams with that level of spending, other than Davek?

Better, yes. Miles better? Hmmm.

Our season was very much alive this time last season, for example.

Don't be fooled by these bottling players now racking up a few points that our sky's are blue in the future. These games have no pressure and that's no test for them. First half of next season is the time to judge them and the manager. Things will become VERY clear then.

How much do Liverpool and Spurs spend compared to Utd

Genuine LOL at anyone who thinks that having a net spend of £30 or £50 million in the transfer market in the next two windows means we automatically should be competing for a place in the top 6.

As I've said before, the wage bill for the top 6 sides dwarf ours. Arsenal for example spend around £100 million a year more - that's not even including transfer fees.

It's going to take time, it's going to take enormous amounts of money, and it's going to take incredibly wise decisions by all involved for us to properly break into this top 6.

Tell that to deluded davek.
