Ronald Koeman discussion

[tim cahill]

I would say there was pressure enough on him.

We were in a terrible rut then.....one win in nearly three months or sommat.

The football was awful and young Tom gave us a shot in the arm.

He won't "stop us losing" against United, you say.

Maybe he could help us win there instead.

It ain't like he didn't sparkle against another Manchester team during our best display last season.

I fully expect us to get battered against Manu. I think Davies and Kenny would be better off missing out on that mauling so they can help us recover from it rather than have their confidence ruined as well.

Agreed here dude

I actually agree with Koeman keeping the U23s out of the starting 11. Even if we were flying this would be a very, very tough game. So I think he's doing the right thing protecting them.

That said... if Davies and Lookman aren't on the bench for United then I'll fume.

It's extraordinary how quick this season is unravelling. I blame Giroud.

 

[USABlue]

Let's stop mentioning Martinez.

The bloke is disgusting.

Taking millions and millions out of the club and giving nothing but incompetence back.

A complete and utter charlatan.

koeman hasnt proven to be any better

After United the next three games are Bournemouth Sunderland and Burnley all at home.We need to aim for 9 points from those three games.If the rot is still continuing after those three fixtures, then Koeman will really be feeling the heat.

We will do well to get points from the Sunderland game mate but I know what you mean!!!

 

[Everton-Ian]

Nah, definitely won't get 9 points against those 3. Six points tops...;-)

God i forgot Sunderland are relegated!But those games offer us an opportunity to get some confidence and momentum back.Im still hopeful that we will show some fight at Old Trafford though.

 

[allezlesbleus]

I just want to see some fight and commitment from the lads and use of the wings! Things change quickly with a win or two.

They're not. Martinez inherited a strong defensive team, which he ruined in the 2nd season and onwards.

Koeman inherited a team of players who were majorly unfit, didn't know what defending was and lacked motivation.

And in this season now.. Koemans team look as though they are majorly unfit, not knowing how to defend or attack, and lacking motivation

tbf Keane looked great the first couple of games, confidence of the whole back line is shot now though - they're all over the place. Depressingly similar to what happened at the end of the Martinez era.

4 games in. It's been a bad start, get these next few matches out the way and not get battered and see where we are. We have been badly gash but we've had probably the toughest run of games of any team in the league with a very new side. Not making excuses, we should have signed a proven striker and performed better in the big games but I hope these performances aren't a true reflection of our quality and don't think they are.
