Ronald Koeman discussion

[Titus Bramble]

It's a wind up to point out we had a game plan that failed to keep down City's total of shots below 19 and gave two pens and a goal away?

Thats just a trivialisation of a debate.

I'm not just talking about this thread x

City had 22 shots during the 0-0 you were lauding last season

Damn facts eh.....

 

[ToffeeTim]

Erm, yes he did. Lol.

I'm not talking about league 1 teams here David.

Dave mate they weren't fit enough last season with the old regime to keep up remember West Ham game I was there 2-0 up at home and lose 3-2 in the last 15 minutes tells you all don't it

Fit enough? Last week there was stats published showing that this Everton team this season put less effort in than the Everton team we played last season.

So much for the 'they weren't fit' argument.

So what was it then mate ?

 

[davek]

I never said it wasn't a choice and there's no point in guessing what might have happened last season.

Depending on what form we're in, and what form Arsenal and Tottenham are in, I can see us going there and parking the bus too, by choice.

Until the whole team is fitter and able to press the ball for 90 minutes it's a choice I'm relatively happy with.

Unacceptable.

We accept that from Burnley and Hull because...well...they're Burnley and Hull. We cant sacrifice again a mentality that we dont go to places like City with an inferiority complex. Love him or loathe him that was the message Martinez hammered home to good effect. Let's not return to the hiding behind the couch mentality again.

 

[davek]

Can you imagine this team spewing a 3-1 lead? Neither can I......

As said, they wouldn't run one up against a team like City, so that's a moot point.

 

[moyes cardy]

Did Roberto resign?!!!

I must have missed that too

Did you think of that all on your own.

 

[davek]

So what was it then mate ?

The relationship between senior players and manager broke down. A story as old as football itself and never can the manager survive when that happens.

 

[moyes cardy]

Context sir, kindly read the conversation before writing your inane drivel.

I see you have been well and truly shot down sir. Dare I say the goat killed you.

Ok then mate

No mate. The clique told me to say it.

We don't play Arsenal down there till May so it might not be necessary, but if were playing them this month then it'd be the sensible thing to do.

Not sure off hand when we go to White Hart Lane, but to call something "unacceptable" is just a bit silly really.

I agree with that point only for some super saves what would have been said if we had got hammered 4 or. 5 -1?
Using those tactics and team choice?
