Well i really cant see Unsworth getting a full time crack at it thats the 3rd game now and players need a rocket at half time and 3 defeats...

It’s on the cards that Coutinho is being allowed to look at a move to Barca in January.
Tbf looks like he is going to PSG
Can’t wait to hear how PSG was his boyhood dream
Not that bothered - think we have been better balanced with him out this season
Would have loved to have seen last years couts in this years team but think his head has gone :(
Don’t get me wrong he playin ok but just doesn’t look like trying
Could be my red specs again though

He'll go to Barca mate. He's hit and miss anyway imo, but a match winner nonetheless

Agreed he will go
Agree he has match winning moments
Wherever he goes he is not complete and I think will get better so we better not let ourselves get mugged off :)
Think we have played better without him but that pribably down to team morale. We will obviously be weaker without him. Fact is Barca ahead in the pyramid- simple as really :(
Can see Mane going soon too :(

I think Mane will be with you atleast another season mate anyways things could be worse you could have spent more money than you ever had in the summer and be sitting in the relly zone....gulp

Hope you are right about Mane
Hope u get out of that zone, would be a **** league without you. Gonna stop saying you too good for fear of jinx.
Hope you win every game bar two this season, FA cup draws pending :)
No idea whats gone wrong with koeman but that is now in past
Plenty of games to get back into europe onward and all that..:)

Think a major factor in your problems was your transfer activity. From my viewpoint it felt like our BR / Committee transfer dealings with lots of players bought with little regard to team shape / style and little regard to dealing with some of the obvious flaws in your team particularly lack of pace and the decline in form of a number of your defenders.
Frankly you look awful at present & honestly not sure where you are going to go from here.

Yup i agree i must admit i thought it would have been impossible to spend that much and end up so gash its shocking...
To sell and not replace Lukaku is just madness also

Koeman pointed to upper management in an attempt to pass the blame.

The only blame I can place in them is for signing Sigurdsson And Klassen
 
and Rooney

which goes back to my point.

They must have thought that Rooney Siggy and Klassen were going to run rings around people up front to replace Lukakus goals lol :-O A massive abortion you cant pin this on just Koeman i think 85% of this is trying to play different with no out and out striker? There i said it again biggest spend ever and we go into a season with Sandro Calvert Lewin and Niasse and the latter is only in as Koeman had no other choice absolutely mental :-/

They had Giroud around and he turned it down.

Where was Koemans backup?
 
my point , as i think you know , was you bought 3 players all of which have 10 as their best position which suggests their was ,at best, confusion in your transfer dealings never mind wasted money / wages.

Are you sure Koeman planned on playing them as 10’s.

He started Rooney through the middle in th games he scored.

We wanted Costa too....

Lukaku should not have been sold until a good replacement had been found that can't be Koeman's fault the only thing I can think is that He and the other incompetents thought Rooney was that replacement ...

Koeman repeatedly called out in the press striker and left sided defender none came?

Nothing was wrong with the way we played last year apart from more points needed against the top teams Koeman was in charge then...The same Koeman that oversaw our best home record for how long??

Normally people can make excuses in hindsight but I agree with Koeman he probably did think he was gone soon when no striker was installed?

I believe we are in trouble whoever gets the gig it won't be Unsworth not with 3 defeats from 3..
 
i have no idea why you bought all 3 or even if Koeman was the prime mover but i do know the money could / should have been spent in other areas rather than Siggy ,he was the 3rd wasn't he ?

No **** Sherlock. I spent all summer questioning the move for Sigurdsson.
