Modern day football for you some of our lot were starting Grayson Out threads after 4 games
Just a question roydo, how many times can you say a 4-0 defeat was just 'one of them days?'.
The lineup he started screamed being too afraid, can't see how that showed him giving/having confidence in the players.
Not one for knee-jerk reactions either but I thought all along since the Chelsea game that we will never go anywhere as a club if our custodians don't uphold and enforce standards in how we play and results.
Why on earth should we consider the last 4 league games as some sort of free pass? What is the point at all if we don't wish to compete with and beat these sides and when we don't, what are we going to do about it?
If we don't insist on better and be bold then we'll remain in the rut we have been in for 25 years.
Daniel Levy took action in getting rid of Villas-Boas after a 0-5 reverse against Liverpool. Free pass? Absolutely not, and look where that attitude has taken them since.
A 1-10 aggregate in these 4 games is just frankly embarrassing. We had our fun with signings in pre-season but it actually hurts that fans of the sides we as fans aspire to compete with can look at us and just see how abysmal we are.
Thing is, Bournemouth and Burnley aren't going to roll over to accomodate Koeman and even winning those games, well, so what in effect if longer-term damage has been done over the last fortnight.
It just feels we have been put very firmly back in our box again.
On balance, and if we can afford it, I would pay Koeman off. There is a ceiling with him and we are not going to break through it under his management. More positively, I think it would say loud and clear that 0-12 in four games is just not acceptable, and never can be at EFC.
We absolutely deserved to get beat 4-0 today.
We made loads of mistakes, lets not pretend Williams was the only one, Pickford, Jagielka, Keane all made awful passes in our defence that were not punished.
We had a handful of half chances and that's it. They did not have to get out of first gear.
And a game lasts 90 minutes, not 80. Just because we did OKish for 80 minutes does not mean that the last ten didn't happen and does not count in the "deserved result" stakes.
Utter embarrassments the lot of them.
The hard fact is they beat chelsea when chelsea had two sent off.
The hard fact is they lost at home to West Brom without a shot on target.
So for all you people who want koeman out. Give me a manager who will come? Not who you want " who will come " and also tell me who's going to score the goals?.....
8 games, new squad, difficult fixtures. I'd say your reaction was pretty knee jerk. You're acting like the world has caved in and we're doomed to relegation.
If we go on a good run over the coming weeks (perfectly feasible this could happen) you'll have calmed down a lot.
Realistically, who are we getting in that is going to transform our fortunes?
I don't even think Koeman is anything more than a good manager but he's been dealt a horrible hand here. If you ask any single manager in the world what they think of a complete squad overhaul followed by 4 of the most difficult fixtures in the first 5 games then they would tell you it's a nightmare scenario.
Apparently David Unsworth will play the kids and we'll be in the Champions League.
