Koeman "I can't complain about the players today, they did everything. It is no so easy against Burnley."

Koeman: "If you look only to the final result....but I don't do that."

so he doent take in we lost then lol,and only how well he thinks we did in the game,despote not doing well at all
 
Needs to go now, unsworth I'm till January while we try and sell the project to ancelotti

lol

'The project'. What project is this? Selling your best players and replacing them with lads from mid table clubs. He'll be itching to put his name on the dotted line I'm sure.

If we have any ambition of getting Ancelotti then we'd have shown some ambition last summer and kept Lukaku.
 
Don't want Koeman to be sacked at all. In times like this it seems the most convenient solution. I hope the board does not make the mistake of sacking Koeman.

I know signing three no 10s is not working out. I know we lost Lukaku, I know we are fragile at the back and we are playing dire football. But Koeman is not to be blamed for each and every single thing going wrong. Sigu, Klaassen, Sandro are good players. Two of them in a new league and one without a pre season.

Koeman I believe has been let down by Steve Walsh and the board in not getting a striker over the line. It was the board's decision to sell Lukaku before they got in a suitable replacement, not Koeman's. The onus was on the board and Walsh to get maybe Giroud over the line which they didn't. They also wasted time and ultimately failed to deliver all other options and the understanding would have been to get through w/o a striker till January believing Rooney, DCL and Sigu would be good enough.

Same way they failed to address the left side defender issue. A manager in this day and age gives his options for players. The rest is up to Walsh and the board.

Yes we would have struggled to manage the number of games, the fixures and being weak in certain areas but the manner in which some of our experienced players - Williams, Gana and Schindes has let us down has led to a fearful mentality. Martina was never the answer at RB, I agree with that. But our two DMs neither are protecting our defenders, nor making forward passes. They all sit deep. Again, not necessary that Koeman asks them to do so as he already stated.

Give credit to him atleast for not being stubborn and bringing Niasse back to the fold. Then when we were defensively weak already and out of form, we lost Keane and Jags. We got Keane back but Williams was again a liability. The goal we conceded could have been stopped if one of our DMs had done a better job.

I criticise Koeman for some of his team selection and some signings, but the way we are conceding goals and playing football does not let the players off the hook. Why is no one questioning Walsh?
Mourinho was let down in the same way and got sacked. Did that make him a bad manager? Hazard playing like Matt Jarvis in those times. Was Hazard gash? No!

This is a good manager who does not hide from the truth, and that is what we need. I know its difficult but 100% I believe if we stick with him things will turn. Sacking him and getting Unsy in may get us 1 or 2 quick wins but what happens when he fails later? I don't want us to go on a merrygo round with managers now. The team will not get stable.
 

£6m a season, just clicked on to what you mean sorry - depends if its pro rata'd or not - would be around £9m if he's binned in January.

Knocks me sick.
Yep. Will be around £9m to £10m to sack him. Then another £5m to prise away a manager (unless there's a realistic choice available). Sickening. And worryingly, a new manager has this bunch to work with.
 
Weird how it looks like he has given in so quickly. We're a great job for him on an excellent salary but he's just retreated already. Very odd.
 

You could slightly forgive one or two players having an off game here and there at the start of the season, its normal.

I'm very worried that almost every single player in the squad is vastly under performing. A shadow of how they were playing only a few months ago. He's lost the dressing room and I believe the players have zero confidence in him. Already had a team meeting to get to the bottom of the rut we are in, and today we find the club in a more lethargic position.

He hasn't got a clue.

A shout must also go out to our piss poor board who have again flattered to deceive.
 
I think we will have enough this year to get away from relegation. The worry for me is if the next managerial appointment is a shocker then it could become grim quickly.

I don't know how this current squad could generate funds should the likes of Sigurdsson not settle down and do well for us.

My worries come from us leaking goals every game, and we doing now have any goals going forward. That is the worst combination.
 
I’m going to give him one more game. If Martina and Williams are in the side then I’m done with him. Continuing to pick such awful players doesn’t make any sense when there are other options.

Martina was not the worst today,by a long way. Williams, absolutely 'gone' as a Prem player. Siggy...should have converted two easy chances created by Oumar and only really 'played' for 5 mins late on. Keane...out of form or over rated? Koemans Save his job team for next match(Prem)....Pickford,Kenny or Cuco,Keane,Jags if fit,Baines, Davies ,Gaye, Rooney, Vlad,Niasse,DCL.
