Ronald Koeman discussion

[rochdaleblue]

It would be if it was this season, last season no.

As I said it's a pity it wasn't with us.

 

[a bell maul]

We're not.

That accolade is going to go to United, Arsenal or the RS.

That defeat today rules us out the 5th Place best of the rest Trophy race I'm afraid

Still....the reward for finishing 7th is the same as best of the rest so it ain't all bad

yes, you could say United, Arsenal or the RS are in the first division of the best of the rest league.
Us, WBA, Stoke and Soton are in that league's second division

We're in the first division relegation zone.

We had a stinker today, hardly telling imo.

Oh, so we now have "divisions" of "best of the rest", do we?

FFS we are as close to United as Baggies are to us and we are are closer to the RS in 4th place than Saints in 10th are to us

If you really want to have divisions of best of the rest then at least put us in a league of our own

But whatever way you want to cut it.....5th place is best of the rest and will remain so until that position is granted CL entry.

I could see his thinking to be honest. We needed someone that could mix it with Dembele and Wanyama. Barry can do that; Gana and Schneiderlin don't have the physicality to go toe to toe with those two. Going full rash with McCarthy instead of Barry might have been a better option in retrospect though.

In the end I just don't think we had the attacking weapons to cause them enough problems. I think their defence would have eaten up any of Lookman, Valencia, or Mirallas up front with Rom. Bolasie would have been a great option to have today, lots of space in behind.

But Barry can't do that. When they have THAT much time on the ball deep in our zone, all the attack in the world doesn't matter. You can't concede THAT much space. Barry's ability to play that killer ball over the high line would be the REAL reason you'd play him deep instead of McCarthy or instead of our 3 back line. But he can't do that anymore.

A mate of mine bumped into Ronald Koeman in Soho yesterday evening. He said that Koeman came across really well, happily signing autographs and posing for photies with fans etc.

He became quite tearful when discussing our performance against Spurs, saying something along the lines of: "We were very poor against Tottenham and we let the travelling fans down. But okay, that's football. We will do better next time."
