Ronald Koeman discussion

[Simon baker]

It's been exactly like this for two years, there were never any guarantees it was going to change overnight.

If we can give Martinez two years to rip apart a quality side then we can at least give Koeman until the end of the season.

It was nothing like this for 2 years. We have had about 5 shots in our last 4 games we're terrible.

Last two years we were frustrating as we couldn't defend but we were very good to watch in short spells.

This is dross start to finish

 

[Mrk]

He has huge questions to answer.

 

[ijjysmith]

No matter what, the pressure is fully on.

 

[longers]

Won't be long before Barcelona come calling...

 

[Toffee-nerd]

So since going 3-1 down and actually playing togga instead of hoofball we had 71% possession, scored one created 3 chances and had a shout for a pen. why not set your team up like this from the off? I just don't get it. we literally are starting games with a hand behind our back and wonder why we lose games.

 

[welshtoffee]

No game plan and too defensive, unfortunately cannot see this getting any better .

 

[AlE]

Its a fair point like. But the players can get away with playing like this. Its not on

Yeah the players need to take blame too. I'm not saying Koeman is the only problem, but I'm finding it difficult to like him tbh. His apparent apathy is a concern

 

[Walken]

sticking with my belief that getting this fat chump in is a massive mistake

3 holding midfielders. Three. I can understand two, one to do running and one to play on the ball, but three? One is James McCarthy who just isn't intelligent as a footballer whatsoever.

I could understand if we could see what he was trying to do, but we can't. Completely reactive manager, takes no proactive measures.

 

[bretts angell]

This is dire

 

[MikeH72]

We won't get another point til January

 

[MACCA75]

Time to go in my opinion. There is no semblance of tactics or sense of what we are trying to do. This is just going to get worse and worse, just like his time at Valencia.

 

[Bullet]

We clearly looked better in the last 2 games when we played 2 up front. RK surely must now start with Lu and Valencia against Arsenal.

No mate, we were absolutely dreadful for two years. For every high scoring match (which we failed to win) there was an abject lifeless performance thrown in too.

This isn't great, but at least now we've got a manager who doesn't care about reputations. He'll make decisions that Martinez would never have had the balls to make.

We're on a bad run of form. Give the manager a chance to turn it around and be reasonable with expectations.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

For me it is a question of whether we look internally (Unsworth) or try for Howe at Bournemouth.

I cannot watch this dross anymore, it is soul destroying.
