Relegation form.
Moonin telling it like it is
Two points from the last four games.
Beaten by Bournemouth and Burnley away.
Draw at home to Palace thanks to an eagle eyed linesman.
It is going to be a long winter, lids

Relegation form.
Martunez left him the best squad since the 80's, according to some peopleWe dominated that second half and then concede a poxy late goal.Their first goal was very sloppy.A legacy of the previous regime that is conceding sloppy goals as well as the fitness levels.It's not as if Martinez left him with solid foundations to work with is it?Don't worry about the money Davek if things don't work out then it won't cost us 10 million smackers in the end this time around.

We laughed our tits off at RAWK who labelled Klopp a genius after a win, but then blamed the Rodgers regime for a defeat, they were still blaming Rodgers for a defeat after about 30 games into Klopp's tenure.
Judging a manager at this stage is totally unfair.
Absolutely no need for that Comma between I'm and agreeing.100% It's going too take longer than expected because it's blatantly obvious the squad needs quite a bit of surgery.
*awaits Ians counter argument even though I'm, agreeing lol

Currently playing crap, 2 points out of 12, no win in 4 league games ( 5 if we add the league cup ) BUT we are still only 5 points off top and sitting in 6th.
I'm confident our Ronald can sort this team of plop out sooner rather than later.

Agree with all of that, except that we've played 11 games, not 9. That defeat against Norwich in the EFL cup was more deflating than most people thought. By effectively opting out of this competition, Koeman sent a far more powerful message than any of his Press Conferences have produced.9 games into his tenure and here is my observations. Defensively better, had to be really couldn't have been any worse. Better organised, I seen Davek (I think) point out we can only keep intensity going for 45 mins, that's true. I'm thinking back to his Soton days and they always seemed to start poorly and finish strong a bit like Moyes tenure here. Hoping that will be the case. Things that are evident is by being better defensively our attacking prowess has suffered, without Rom we are bottom 6 material. Needs to get more from Mirallas, Deulofeu and Barkley they have all regressed in the last 3 years it can't all be down to Martinez, in Barkleys case perhaps I think Roberto has a lot to answer for, he was direct and looked like a Gazza type player, his first instinct now is to keep possession and play it safe, we seen glimpses yesterday that his direct running was coming back. Hopefully he pushes on.
Tactically he isn't afraid to change things, Spurs/City and West Brom games showed this. Yesterday I felt he was slow to react, I would have hooked Bolasie or Mirallas at half time and the Gueye sub was baffling.
One thing that worries me slightly is his lack of confidence in youth, nobody tell me Oviedo should be starting ahead of Holgate/Garbutt/Galloway I know 2 of them are on loan but he seems to have the horrible Moyes trait of not trusting young players, a sub appearance for Davies doesn't count in my opinion the game was over and only a couple of mins left when he appeared against Sunderland. If Dowell/Davies/Walsh were involved more now I could honestly live with a run of poorer form as I could see the benefit in the long term.
He needs to buy and January won't be the time to do it, need competition for Stek/Coleman and someone to help Rom, thing is the next striker we buy will be replacing him and that will be easier said that done. Could do worse than buying Pickford/Heaton Adam Smith from Bournemouth and perhaps testing the waters with Sturridge.
We have 9th place and 50 points written all over us this year I'm afraid.
So when we've been excellent defensively (a masterclass in defending against City) this season that is down to Koeman, and when we concede sloppy goals (yesterday) that will be down to the legacy of the previous regime (Martinez)
