Difference is I think Ron could change if he feels confident enough in the team and formation but that's partly down to him. Mitigating factors today is the ammount of games in one week plus we have injuries and lack of that focal point. If we get everyone back and the signings in and it's still the same set up then it's time to make a judgement. What I like about Koeman is that he isn't afraid to change formation or personnel within a gane if he gets it wrong, hopefully he recognises we need to carry more threat away from home, especially against the biggest teams you can't just sit in and hope for the best everyone, three at the back can work with the right players but if you just sit in against these teams 9/10 times you will lose, that's mentality, players and tactics.

Doesn't seem to be any sign of it though. That substitution of Besic for Davies just screamed of trying not to let anymore in, never mind trying to score a few goals. His away form has been shocking, it's not far off relegation form.
 

Been a testing week.

First season with European football,it's going to be games like this where the team is flat,been a torrid week of games with 3 tough away games.

When all the dust settles down and everyone chills out, the thing is the manager ain't goin anywhere unless where in trouble of relegation which we won't be, he is staying some people like him some don't but the money he has been backed with entitles him to the end of the season at least.

It is precisely for this reason that he will be scrutinised more by the fans, the press and, probably, the board this season. Spending money in football doesn't buy you time it puts you under a microscope.
 
He got it wrong today. I understood the game plan against city, it was successful last season so it made sense to repeat the formula - especially as Pep is a stubborn bugger who refuses to change his tactics but Chelsea don't play like them, Conte is more flexible.
Koeman was at fault, he got it wrong from the start and then left it far too to change it.
Holegate is a fine young player but he's not a wingback. Kenny or Martina should be starting from now.
Sandro clearly wasn't fit enough to lead the line.
The whole approach was far too negitive. I get that we were missing a few key players and it being our 3rd game in 6 days players will have been tired but I want to see us go away to the so called bigger clubs and be positive.
It's not all doom and gloom.... the way some are reacting you'd think we had just had our arses handed to us by relegation fodder like West Ham rather than the champions but we need to be better. Massive 4 days ahead for Ronny and Walsh

Generally I am positive of the work he is doing. But he's too negative against the Sky clubs but he's not the first manager we've had to be so.

If it was just the "Sky" clubs it would be bad enough.

But it is like this every away game now......Boro, Hull and Stoke away last season spring to mind.

And Lord knows what would have happened in Split if Iceland had not hit his wonder strike :pint2:
