Ronald Koeman discussion

Status
Not open for further replies.

At least Koeman recognises when he has got the tactics wrong and changes it rather than keeping his fingers crossed and hoping it works.

Talking about the substitution and the lopsided formation that had Dominic Calvert-Lewin out wide from where he crossed for Wayne Rooney’s winner -

“I expected to get the space on that side.

“So instead of playing Tom Davies, Mason Holgate or Cuco, I decided to put a winger there. It wasn’t really good but that’s not because of Dominic. That is my fault.

“Even at 1-0 up I decided to change it after 45 minutes to hopefully make us a little more comfortable with four defenders. The second half was much better. Sometimes it happens like that.”
 
Joey have you seen Chelsea's performance and currently Man City. Liverpools performance against Watford and Palaces against Huddersfield. We actually got 3 points not playing very well against a tough physical team whereas the above mentioned got no points or 1 point. I think a rare 3 points from an opening game is the way to go.
they ended up with 9 men we were playing so poor in the first half the match thread all fans stated that - glad we won and improved in the 2nd half DCL rooney Keen and our keeper were very good today!

You know where you stand with Ronald.

Joe you should know that the match thread is not anything to go by. Doom and gloom in there even when we are winning. We could be winning 4-0 and people would still find someone to slate.
 
Three competitive games this season.
Three wins
No goals conceded.

Admittedly that run is likely to grind to a halt against either Split or City, but it's not actually a bad start, it just feels poor because the internet demands more than a solid start.
