Ronald Koeman discussion

[davek]

I can totally see Lookman pulling that off last minute at Anfield.

Theres nothing wring with a long punt like that once or twice in a game, but we don't want to be going back to the Moyes era or the pre December Koeman offerings full of speculative downfield hoofs.

Koeman seems to have learned that he has to adapt to the qualities of these players he has now and work with the material at hand. Of course, once he's spent more money in the summer and the team largely becomes his, the possibility is that he has us mixing up the game with a lot more long balls again. The worst excesses of that will hopefully kept in check.

We know how easily a lot of our fans can be seduced by a long ball game becuse of a lack of patience, that is a danger to us in our attempts over the past few years to rekindle our old traditions of playing passing football on the deck.

Warm weather training is ok. Others are merely stating that it shouldn't be a week long jolly. I think that's fair comment.

Whats the week long jolly?? no rest over christmas but we improved ! why not reward the squad. its called bonding something RM knew nothing about

I thought that was what Walsh was brought in for though? He didn't get Mahrez from Madrid for £40m, he got him from Le Havre for less than half a million quid.

The bargains are out there for players of that nature. The bigger question is whether this manager favours them. I don't think he does.

Or maybe he sees the fact that Mahrez is 2nd tier flash in the pan and doesn't want to give a 5 year contract to a player taking up wages that can be better used elsewhere. It worked for Leicester becuase they could never attract the big players and had to take chances on unknowns.

We are slightly different IMO and would be best served waiting for the right player at the right moment which is what i think we are doing.

Time will tell i suppose.
