Ronald Koeman discussion

[Osamabindiesel]

Our home form against the top 6 has been respectable. 2 wins, 2 draws and of course only 1 defeat to you know who. However our away form has determined why we haven't seriously been challenging top 4 this season. We have only had 2 draws and 3 defeats. Indeed in all we've only won 4 times away from home all season. This needs to be addressed should we want to mount a realistic top 4 challenge next season.

I think our biggest problem was our huge lull in the beginning of the season, but you aren't wrong. We do need to get more away results. That stretch really hurt our top 4 chances though. Koeman was still trying to figure out his squad at that point.

Get the red Crimbo tree out. Koeman would like all that tinsel.

Methinks the orange headed one doth protest too much

Admit it Dave, you like the fact Everton are winning again and you would gladly take a knee before our Groovy Dutch King

It's okay, you're amongst friends here, make your love public

6th highest top scorers in the league (only 3 goals off guardiolas 'total football' city) and the 5th best defence. As you say winning with a swagger.

If only we'd had the emergence of Davies earlier and schneiderlin had been bought the previous window. As you say, he was still finding out about the squad and what a cull it was in January, the amount of players he moved on.

Schneiderlin makes our team so much better. He allows Gueye to be much more aggressive and Davies can play a free role. Davies was the catalyst for change and Schneiderlin improved us even further. It's unfortunate that Coleman is out till at least November though. That was a big blow to our attack.

And considering we had a woeful run of results October/November time, it's actually all rather good isn't it

'Last season at home was the worst in our history but ok we now broke the record at home, this is football.'

And a demoralised, unfit, untrained squad topped up with some absolute trash.

Quite some turn around, we are now entertaining to watch, scoring more goals than ever and if proof is needed see the 16 consecutive home sold out fixtures and a season ticket waiting list.

 

[ianefc]

But ok.
