Ronald Koeman discussion

[Ernie]

No, because they've aged 3 years and football has moved on.

By your logic, we should put out Southall, Ratcliffe, Gray and co., because they once won a league.

Do they still use a round bag of air?

If they are capable, we couldn't Martinez do it the last 2 years?

Maybe, just maybe, the first season was a fluke?

Or maybe just maybe we've had two poor managers back to back

What's that got to do with players aging?

Players legs go you know. People get hit by injuries and don't come back the same.

Koeman isn't a poor manager. Led Southampton to 2 consecutive top 7 finishes.

Plus won titles in other countries.

Is he perfect? No. Did he get his tactics wrong yesterday? Yes.

Even the best managers mess up. How many 1-1 draws has Guardiola had at City?

 

[Slippin Jimmy]

All things considered, our squad is absolutely nowhere near the level of the top 5 and it's up to Moshiri, Walsh & Koeman to sort it out.

Unless they can do that, then honestly what is the point in anything?

We've got some pure lazy uninterested players at this club, Koeman needs to get them out the door asap, screw what ability they have, Rom's not gonna stay here but he would be the only one i'd still keep regardless of his laziness but we need almost a total overhall of the midfield, only Gueye shows any desire or passion and will to win, that game yesterday was the laziest performance i've ever seen from a midfield

 

[Ballyfermot]

The club is hard at work drawing up excuses for not signing quality targets

Its just not fair on James McCarthy. God dam it.

Koeman needs to start earning his corn.

After a bright start recent performances have been pretty poor.

Sort of dimly lit

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Don't forget the current manager which is sort of my point

This squad is capable of good football, Koeman just can't get it out of them

Neither could the previous manager for the last two years which begins to suggest this group of players ain't all that.

We did play good football.

We just couldn't defend.

I think the travails of this squad are beginning to illustrate what we all knew. If we are serious about troubling the top spots we need to start spending money to buy proven quality players . You can't do it on the cheap . Leicester is the exception that proves the rule.
This squad is a mid table squad assembled over the years on a tight budget, too many players are inconsistent or still potential. We need to stop relying on potential. It won't happen overnight but if this new regime is serious about its intent they need to start showing it ,beginning with the upcoming window. I was going to say talk is cheap ,but they don't even do that.

The worst home record ever wasn't my most enjoyable season . Good football for me is winning football. Simple.

 

[Slippin Jimmy]

He and the players were woeful yesterday. Don't play 3 at the back unless you have the players to do so, which we don't. No chemistry in the attack.

I don't know why but everytime i see Cleverley starting a game i expect us to get beat

7th, looking at the squads above us...not sure how we can expect anymore currently
