Ronald Koeman discussion

[davek]

Whoever wants him out already needs to look at themselves

No one wants him out. We just want the feller to play a bit more football and put 90 minutes in not 45.

It's insipid rubbish atm.

Would McAleny (who's scoring for Wigan this season on loan) and Tom Davis be much worse than Bolasie & Valencia as options? With Davis instead of Bolasie we'd be playing a more compact incisive shape which may be more suitable to breaking down weaker opposition.

35m saved.

All just fantasy football talk now, mind.

McAleny won't make it. He is like 24/25.

Bad result but better performance today. Koeman's improved the defence and needs a lot more time. We'll be up against it Jan though due to the AFCON.
The worrying thing is there appears to be only relatively limited funds to strengthen with, barring whatever we get if Lu is sold in the summer, so we may be relying on SW to pull a few more Gana's out of the hat to help RK build the team he wants.

Can you start playing the kids now please mate?

You messed up our backline dropping Holgate, and Davies is a better footballer than a couple you keep playing.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Make some changes. Shake things up. I've had enough of the old guard who have achieved sweet fa at the club.

This is big job and a big club here Mr Koeman so get your act together and start getting teams to turn up in the first half.

Coleman hopeless today.

I think Koeman might drop Coleman...however, it'll be more a statement if his managerial prowess of he steps in and sacks Jagielka off.

this again? lol


Enner Valencia is 26, ffs.

Valencia at least played for a PL side consistently for 2 seasons. McAleny can't even play regularly in a Champ side as of today?

I've been saying Coleman is poor for three seasons now defending but nobody cares so I'll just stop. Criminal dropping Holgate in the form he was in.

We should have loads of money to spend. We have never been in a better situation to spend.

I don't think there's much wrong with saying Koeman was a bit crap today.

Unquestionably yes IMO. Davies looked great in the last game of last season. Unfortunately since then he's showed nothing to warrant a first team place.
Cleverley's looked the better option. The manager clearly thinks so. Of course that doesn't mean Davies won't come good in future.

 

[Thomasc]

He's inherited a weak and sloppy set of under achievers. Hope he gets players he wants to get rid of the ones who have been very "meh" for over 2 seasons now.

 

[kenada_blue]

Played better attacking football and seemed more balanced with 3 at the back IMO at the start of the season.

I don't think our wide players are consistent enough to deliver every week, and they're also not good enough without the ball.

We're practically playing 4.3.3 and its the top 3 that, for me, are lacking.

We needed a mobile striker with pace, and also more creativity out wide (like Mata) in the summer. Didn't get it.

I wanted Coleman back in, but it WAS harsh on Holgate.

Harsh too on Galloway who should never be at WBA.
