    There are some who'd have him back but they're in a small minority

    Koeman hasn't connected with the fans, he's typically Dutch I suppose, but that's not helping him now we're really struggling as he's not got many acolytes left

    One thing is puzzling me, how can you have spent £140m in the Summer and still have Cuco Martina in the starting XI?...:huh:

    The blues have a large injury list containing key players, not sure if the lads on here will agree but with a full strength squad at their disposal I think they'd do okay, but I think they didn't and don't need Rooney and not up to standard these days, he's part of the past when they're building for the future.

    ****ing worse than Martinez now. He has had a car crash.

    ****ed up not getting a striker. ****ed up with Garbutt not registered. ****ed up letting the kid Onyekuru out on loan

    To be fair lads the board has to shoulder some blame...
    To buy the players we did and no replacement for Lukaku is bonkers...
    The reason why Koeman is setting up like this is because we have been left with no focal point up top i think we are going to struggle badly until this is sorted..
    To spend that much and be in this situation is poor

    It's beyond poor mate, it's grossly incompetent. Whoever carries the can for the failure to land an established striker should be sacked.

    That is not Koemans fault.

    However, he's got what he's got, and I've felt as if he's been almost deliberately picking sides that made no sense at times this season.

    The whole place is toxic at the minute and he needs putting out of his misery, get shot today for me.

    Nope, they gave the guy £150m and we all knew Rom was off last January.

    Heading off on holiday at key times in the summer showed he didn’t care.

    He got in Ramirez and then gave up

    He went t Portugal on holiday rather than attempting to meet with his preferred striker targets and spunked £50m on Sig, wasting time chasing him and not the striker needed.

    Yes but again not the sole fault of koeman...
    Last season i was impressed with how he would read and change during a game but this season that attribute seems to have dissapeared?

    We have gone from playing with Lukaku to playing with to true target man so he cant play the same as last season simple as that we are ****ed untill we get a striker he has to and must play Niasse IMO he has to have a chance as playing No 10's everywhere is going to end in a survival battle..

    Like the buys he has got in. But Klassen or Sig, not both as 10’s.

    Play Klassen as the 10. Getting both was an error.

    But not meeting and talking up the club when targets are unsure was his biggest error.

    Klaassen is absolute dogshit, he's out of his depth and looks the worst buy we've ever made at that kind of level. Bloody terrible piece of business

    Like many he is being played out of position.

    Play him as a 10 or not at all. I liken it to playing Osman on the wing, his best position was always as a 10

    You could play him anywhere and he'd still be ****e. He's not good enough and has already proved that. He's come from a pub league

    Well that’s it then.

    He is just another fans scapegoat. He isn’t in good form and every little mistake is jumped in by the crowd. Just like they did with Naismith.

    We are the most fickle fan base.

    Then waste of skin n players like Mirallas get unlimited backing.
