Ronald Koeman discussion

That has been a disappointing last three games.It clearly show's especially in the second half last night that two seasons worth of bad habits will take time to get out of the system.Some of those players are facing an important next three months.They need to show to Koeman that they can play to the system he wants and those who are incapable of doing that need to be shipped out.Despite what the people with an axe to grind with the current manager will tell you.It's been a decent start to the season despite the slight dip in form.There's still a fair bit to work on during the international break.There's been a lot done under Koeman so far but to paraphrase that old Irish rail slogan there quite clearly is a lot more to do. Onwards we go in Koeman we trust.

What about Bertie?? :p
 
I'm a little disappointed with our last three result but if you'd of offered me 14 points from our opening seven fixtures back on the opening day I'd of been delighted. These things take time, I'm content for a top eight place this season and steady progress. Koeman already had a difficult job on his hands after the damage El Fraudo inflicted and he hasn't been helped by the comical lack of investment in the squad this summer. I've seen enough to be positive about so far, not fantastic but enough. Anyone who was seriously expecting us to be pissing matches after the last two years of dross need to give their heads a wobble. This season was always going to be a rebuilding one and the sooner people except it as such the better.
 
Sadly seems like that injury has put paid to Oviedo as a prem LB. Real shame as he seems like a great lad.

Do you think Koeman should be doing better with the current squad?
It's hard to tell at the moment. We've done well increasing the energy levels and getting behind the ball, but we almost dont exist as an attacking force anymore. In attack it looks to me that we dont construct moves, we just get the ball into space further up the pitch and then take it from there. I dont see much thought going into it. That part of Koeman's reign has been hugely disappointing...although the example of his S'ton side from last season (his team rather than the Potchetino team he inherited in his first season there) hinted at what we could expect: they were a team that hit in hope toward Long/Pelle and then piled forward players like Davis and Mane if they could find the legs to support.

Must do a hell of a lot better in that respect.

We cannot praise Kooman when we are winning and then blame Martinez when we are losing

Simple fact is we are not as good as some people think...no matter who is the manager
