Ronald Koeman discussion

[blue4eva77]

We've played 7/8 competitive games so far this season and I'm yet to see ANY improvement on last season.

Infact we've gone backwards. These performances are worse than Martinez' last season in charge.

Utterly embarrassing to watch right now. You can't blame the fixture list, the Europa etc.....

The performances are gutless, lacking ideas, hoof ball, awful errors, the list goes on. Losing Lukaku isn't the reason we are so pathetic ! He's decent but he's not a great player. There is zero drive, zero movement, no energy, confidence. Nothing !

That falls on Koeman and his staff. He's stated time and again that he wanted to share the goals scored with the entire team and not one individual. He's brought in goal scoring midfielders, without a clue in how to utilize those players and failed to bring in a goal scoring forward. It's nothing short of a disgrace and very poor management.

Koeman has two games to save his job now, simple.

I don't want him to go, and don't think he should this early, but he keeps making decisions that aren't helping us win games.

That, combined with mistakes from players really lacking confidence, is meaning we just aren't clicking.

Spent over £100m and got worse and short two strikers at least. The way we're playing if Koeman last until November I'd be amazed

we did sell 100m too including one of the top strikers in the league

 

[Kev The Rat]

Haha.

You're joking right?!

No you're right - new 5 year contract tomorrow.

I don't see why winning 2 or 3 games against inferior opposition should have any bearing on him retaining his job

Can't wait for the post match garbage he's gonna come out with

Wed 20th Sunderland
Sat 23rd Bournemouth
Thu 28th Apollon Limassol
Sun 1st Burnley

Next 4 games, all at home, he gets the results and saves his job, he fails and loses his job, somehow he is lucky since i think we will get the results (wins) and he keeps his job

While I agree with the principle, Koeman can't put the ball in the back of the net mate.

Rooney and Gylfi - two proven goalscorers - missed genuine sitters for us today.

We have lost our two best attacking players and had some really difficult fixtures though... I think it's understandable to an extent.

You say Lukaku is a decent player. Bloody hell, he's an absolute goal machine. We'd be happy with half the player up top.

Dress that up how you want but Utd had us at arms length the entire game, they were just waiting until they could be bothered and just turned it up a notch.

What formation were we supposed to be playing at the end? I saw DCL, Sandro, Mirallas and Gylfi all kind of just wondering around.

I don't know where our next goal is coming from, never mind our next win. It's painful watching their heads drop when they concede.

I don't think sacking Koeman now will help at all, but I am concerned.

Why should getting a few results against that rubbish save him?

 

[Number_25]

It speaks volumes that we lost 4-0 and there are some saying that we've improved.

 

[MikeH72]

We went into a season with Philip Nikodem Jagielka and Ashley Errol Williams still starting games in the Premier League for us because we decided to buy 4 number 10s for a laugh.

Ive been trying to think who could be a tempory number 9, years ago teams use to put a defender or midfielder up top I remember one Paul Warhurst scoring a fair few for Sheffield Wednesday I think he actually got an England call up. What we are doing certainly isn't working.

 

[eddy]

So you're telling us Koeman didn't want Rooney, and a target man would've stopped us shipping 10 goals in our last 3, all in which we played awfully with awful tactics?

He would have set the team up differently if he had gotten the centre forward striker that he wanted yes. The Lukaku grubby deal was done we had to take Rooney in part ex, they even pay his wages ...... its obvious Koeman wanted a higher calibre of player than Rooney, but the board said after failing to sell Barkley ` its his team now ` burning Koeman big time, cut him some slack ...... the board are the ones to blame here, were is the stadium planning app fraudhad??
