    I like how so many were excited by the prospect of Klaassen, now have him as digshite.

    The same pockets of fans round me must do it to feel bad about going games.

    I did a bunk just before the red, so caught the aftermath on the radio. Koeman looks in trouble, but the players look terrified to play. What happened over the summer?

    Klaassen gave away a stupid freekick that lead to their equaliser, his only meaningful contribution.

    Koeman is now under massive pressure, his seeming lack of passion is starting to grate on me, another hopeless performance against a very average side.

    If we get done on Sunday I reckon he could well be shot.

    We play Burnley at home mate.

    We need to ditch the 2 holding midfield players for a start. Assuming Jags and Keane are fit I'd go with;

    Pickford

    Kenny, Jags, Keane, Baines

    Gueye

    Rooney Sigurdsson Davies

    DCL Niasse

    Burnley aren’t the easiest team to play, not sure what they’re like away from home though.

    I actually expect you to win 2-0. If you don’t then like you say he’ll be in trouble.

    I just worry that your owners will get rid of Koeman and you’ll get someone great like Ancelotti

    You hated Bobby for his eternal optimist attitude! You are a fickle bugger.

    Carlo is free at the minute, does he know Moshiri?

    ****ing no width, why play two up against a team that will pack MF and make it difficult.

    Without width how do you unlock a defensive side.?

    haha, there's a balance I suppose. I just expect to see some sort of passion from the fella both on the touchline and in the pressers.

    I wouldn't want him to be like the big German cheerleader or Brown Shoes though lol.

    You watch how they pack MF.

    Plus without width, how will we unlock a defence? The current setup doesn't work, we look better with width

    If they're going to pack the midfield then how can we play with width?

    As we'd get outnumbered in the central area?

    They'll sit deep and play long balls all afternoon. I'm sure they'd be delighted if we spent the day crossing the ball to Rooney and DCL, neither of whom are particularly commanding in the air like. We'll need to draw them out and look to play through them imo.

    Get it out wide, then you have the numbers, also stretches the MF, will allow Sig to look for channels and find the wide men running into space.

    But I'm no manager.

    To be fair, you had two in your side. I would only play Rooney or Sig if it followed your team.

    Lookman, Mirallas.....anyone but a slow CAM

    Gueye

    Lookman, Siggy, Davies, Vlasic

    DCL

    I would have no problem with that. Shake the established heads up.

    But would prefer Mirallas, he has some top flight experience and could be hooked for Lookman or Vlasic if he is gash

    I don't think he's got long if things carry on as they are. A win tomorrow and things change, but football is a fickle beast these days

    Reading around the edges it appears that Walsh has a much larger influence on who is coming into the club.

    However I would expect Koeman to see out his deal unless he doesn't manage to qualify for Europe or make a final.
