Ronald Koeman discussion

[ianefc]

Ill be surprised if Koeman gets us anywhere near a semi final.

It's down to luck of the draw.

 

[Sharpies volley]

I disagree, Koeman identified players we needed and the board let him down on the single most important one
He stated within the last week of the window 1-2 more players were expected, the board let him down and you can see it when you watch us play
we are toothless in attack. The striker should have been a priority the board failed big time

He's got enough players at his disposal to at least have a go. He can bring in 11 strikers if he wants but this team will still not create chances. It's got nothing to do with the fact he didn't bring in any strikers, it's the team he picks the way he sets them up and his motivational techniques that are the problem

Sky are comparing apples with apples - the away record. Should managers not be judged on that?

It's a 21% win ratio and it's not good enough. No point rolling it in glitter by pulling in the home record.

Don't we play at home then?

I strongly disagree he's been in control of his own signings theses are all his players yes they failed to bring in a striker but come on even if Rom stayed he woudn't of made a difference the last 3 games we've been dreadful i honestly don't think we could've played worse the lack of striker depth is now one of many problems if UTD put 3 plus against us and we preform at the same level it's almost a crises at this early stage he's spent 150 million for ffs and none of those players have made any sort of impact no excuses its all on him

Thats the puzzle to me.

He did all ^^^^ last season, inheriting a mess, 7th, not bad, and then this.

And yeah, I know, we lost Rom, but as you say, chances aint exactly falling from the trees anyrate.

It's grand tho, bolasie will be back in march

No, it's awful but you can't ignore the fact that we play half of our games at home. The board certainly didn't when they sacked Martinez.

Anyone used this graphic off Sky yet?

Did you see that graphic where Martinez got 91 points in 75 games whilst Koeman (with a lesser squad IMO) got 123 in the same time.

That was between the start 14/15 of and end of 15/16.

Koeman has severely pissed me off, to the point where I'm not arsed if he goes, but the Martinez debate being used is beyond ridiculous.

Understand where you're coming from as I hated Martinez and I am behind Koeman. His away record isn't good enough though. Winning 1 in 5 away is terrible

 

[Sharpies volley]

And he's the man who's paid an absolute fortune to solve that puzzle and even us on the terraces can see certain problems that he needs to address but doesn't he's a charlatan who's getting money for old rope

I agree. When Coleman notched V Palace in January, if you'd of told me that would be our last away win in the league and we're now in mid September, I'd never of believed you. We have been and are pathetic.

Lots of revisionism going on here re Martinez.

 

[billyblue80]

Not sure how true it is but a rumour that Koeman had a meeting with Bill and Mosh two days before the window shut, they said there was no money left for a striker or CB. So Ron bogged off on holiday.

Sounds like negative rubbish you hear when things are going badly so people can lay blame.
