Ronald Koeman discussion

[Fansince1988]

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

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.

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??

The difference is Burnley defend all game, and score a goal from a long punt forward. We on the other hand try and play football. If we played like Burnley people wouldn't be happy- Moyes tried and we got called negative.

Stupid comment, do you even watch us or any football for that matter, we are the most dull and boring team in the premiership, face reality fgs

Yeah we stuck Cahill up top in dire times under Moyes - Rooney would be the equivalent but he clearly has a free role.

The thing is that Bournemouth and Burnley both have a system and a set starting eleven.

EFC have nothing like that. It could be a really dicey few months. Especially as RK's tactics are two bob...

Starting without a winger and no number 9 is a suicide note. Yet he keeps doing it...

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

Definitely the next four home games will be key ,results and performances have to be good

Next 5 games. Turn it round or go.

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

It shouldn't buy it will

 

[svenboss]

We will be fine now that horrible set of fixtures is over.

How is it a stupid comment? Burnley obviously play a certain brand of football that has been effective until now. Let's see how they're doing in May though?

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Carrig and neville spot on with us sitting deep. Jags and williams too old. Slow. Too supposed leaders are just not good enough. #midtable

No a few wins against poor opponents cannot allow him to effectively clear his name

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Let's hope we miraculously slip through the Europa group stages and none of the decent teams fall out of the champions league and enter the competition to thwart us on our way to a cheap champions league birth

 

[blue4eva77]

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.

Backwards ! Sugar coat it all you want.

Someone pull up the stats of our shots on target in the 8 competitive games we've played so far this season.

That'll tell you the togger we are playing.

 

[ChesterBlue]

I've defended Koeman for a long time, but enough's enough. We are on course for a relegation battle currently, and we've barely had a shot on goal in 4 games.
It's not good enough, I genuinely think we should give it Unsworth
