Ronald Koeman discussion

Squad is lacking.

It'll be bare bones by the summer with no Barkley and Lukaku.

Yep, they were sensational today.

 

[Jags..class]

6m a year for this.

58 points (61 max) and junk in the cups.
Yes Roberto had to go but I am of the opinion that Unsworth would have achieved at least similar and not been talking about the Barcelona job.

No contract for Rom or Ross sorted.

I am not impressed.

Looking forward to Monday U23.
Then roll on August.

Hmm we are in Europe, our home record is excellent. He reminded our players what defending and corners are. He sorted out the lad fitness. He brought in gems.

 

[Number_25]

He's done a very good job with the limited resources available.

I look forward to another summer of him molding the side to his desire.

Contracts have nothing to do with him and if you think confidently an academy manager could get us from 12th to 7th then you started on the sauce early.

This league is dreadful.
Top 6 are decent.
The 12 below us are gash.

Any competent manager with our squad should achieve 7th.

/lesigh If Kenny started at RB, I see us winning this game. Holgate is everything you want in a CB but he is still a tad skinny. Kenny is a really brave RB and it makes a huge difference when the opposition is trying to keep the field narrow. If we aren't going to play a winger, we have to play an attack-minded wing-back. What we saw from Rom in the 2nd half we need to see from him every game. He did all he could.

 

[Khalekan]

really ? then how come they took him off after 45 minutes lol...

Slam Dunk lol

Except our squad really isn't that good? But you keep drinking lad. Forza Unsworth.

Everything you want to see in a CB? I think heading is up there with priorities. Koldrop is better in the air than Holgate

Yep, they were sensational today.

Still created and offered more than the entire squad put together. Which says more about the squad than those two

 

[Nymzee]

6th is out of reach now so let's see some more debuts for the kids.

 

[ianefc]

Did they? I'd expect any striker to have a shot or two. They were woeful and have been in many an away game.

He did. The other 9 didn't.

 

[ianefc]

I love Lukaku, but the last few away games he hasn't been up to scratch.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

He got it wrong today

Holgate is a good defender but not an attacking full back

Either he needs to play as a centre back or we need to play an actual winger in front of him

DCL has stunk up the joint a couple of times now

I don't care how good or bad Lookman is in training, it's time he got a chance

Play Holgate at centre back in place of someone from Team Buddy Cop (I don't care which one) and then try Kenny at full back

Play Kev on one wing, Lookman on the other, with a midfield of Davies and Gana, and a front two of Lukaku and Valencia

Straight up 442

This sorry lot need to get back to basics

 

[kenada_blue]

I love Lukaku, but the last few away games he hasn't been up to scratch.

His season is finished really when he banged in his 24th goal

Shame no one else in the team are near his level.
