Ronald Koeman discussion

[chicoazul]

Those were the days. Stubbs, Weir, Neville, Ralf Rangnick, Megson, or Martinez. Summer of dreams.

Ace days them SD.

 

[chicoazul]

Stubb's name shouldn't even be in the same sentence as Unsworth's

No, just no.

Unsy is the new Stubbsy.

You'd have thought people actually learned.

Ready for a good tummy tickling session on Sunday.

Your more confident than me mate, had huge doubt initially, and tbf he won me over on most of those, whilst at the same time not exactly exciting me with the style or system, but this summer and this season so far it looks like a potential train wreck - no apparent plan, no apparent system that fits the player we just spunked 150m on, utterly confusing...

Your initial reservation were correct imo. Last season he did no more than you'd expect from a decent manager. His transfer spending this summer has been really poor as has his team building and what we are seeing to date reflects that. I think he's average and that's about it. He's not good enough and the only question for me is when we'll pull the trigger.

Not my first choice would have prefered pellegrini with Unsworth as no 2[/QUOTe
Thomas Tuchel our great saviour or Favre, or Nellegrini, or Saviola, or any other foreigner...you know it makes sense lollol

 

[Blues Harp]

I agree.... for now. But if things don't improve then I think we need to look at other options. David Wagner springs to mind. Could you imagine a Wagner klopp derby. We might actually win one for once

David Wagner...taking Huddersfield down this season....get real....Klopp inferior.

 

[jceverton]

Stubbsy or Unsy.

Unsy all day long.

 

[Lowste]

You mean he's playing till Dembele is up to speed then never to be seen again.

maybe

 

[chicoazul]

Unsy all day long.

Roono is back so Stubbsy could get the very best out of him.

What surprises me with Koeman, is he hasn't used the opportunity this summer to rebuild a side in his own image.

We started very brightly against Spurs last season, though lacked fitness to do it for 90 minutes. Most could accept that. We moved from that style to accommodate Lukaku. Again having had a manager who had put style of substance (and winning) most of us warmed to that. However on Lukaku leaving I'd hoped we'd revert back to his plan A, especially as no target man was bought in. Currently though we look like a side still looking to play to Lukaku's strengths without Lukaku.

Koeman will understandably say he hasn't been given the tools (which is true). However the decision to pursue another number 10 in Sigursson rather than going to get, say Chris Wood and Ben Gibson for the same money has left us very light in key areas.

Yep he could get him into the boot of his car and keep him locked in

Hahaha.

Fixed that for you. Bottom line on this we'd have done better if Walsh (like Les Reed) was fully in charge of transfers and Koeman was just coaching.

In fairness, we've signed so many players this year - it'll take a while for the team to gel.

I don't think we should sack him yet.
