Oh, come on. It's not Koeman's fault that we have shit players. It's so obvious we can't go much further with the current squad. It wasn't his fault either that we failed every single transfer he wanted in the summer. Those we got are panic buys to cover some holes in the squad depth. There is no improvement from last year, so basically he has a mid table team at his disposal, and you expect miracles? None gonna happen.

Anyone calling for a managers head after 13 games is clueless.

Yep. And we are 7th yet, which isn't bad at all. But I agree with those who think our summer job was a disaster. I don't think anyone could do much better with the playing staff we currently have.

He tried to spend £30m on sissoko..

Absolute dog shit of a player. He ignores tom Davies- a class player in the making.

 

I dont get him at all. He's like an android.... like a dutch Mike walker.... just detached from the club.

And how about that £25 million we spent on a donkey?

Come on lads. Face the truth. It's not Koeman's fault. Our team lacks the class big time. We have a load of shite players. Martinez overperformed in his first season and everyone started talking about our Top4 potential. What a joke. We are where we should be - fukin average.

Rom was outstanding today. Not the goal that makes my opinion, but that he showed improved passing, creativity and even technique. Ross was good tho and I hope he plays like that more often. Bolasie is a good player, but his first touch was total crash today. He made me laugh at times. Overall great performance against underachieving side. We should take that confidence into our next match. But please don't overreact, because Ham were rubbish.

Left to right: Tommy Eglington, Peter Farrell and John Willie Parker?

So we shipped out Niasse on loan and got Valencia...

Ross was very poor today;

Ross was poor in every other game in the last two seasons. He came into the first team with big potential, but now is an absolute waste. Who needs a midfielder who can't pass, and further more - doesn't like to pass? There's absolutely something wrong in his head, because there are some midfield basics, that no matter how shite you are, you should just know and follow them. He doesn't. We really should get rid of him and find a replacement.

I wasn't impressed by our midfield once again. Idrissa looked as another backup to me, not a cracker. We need a proper centre half, who knows how to operate with the ball. Baines was the most creative player in our side.

Let him go, he will end up in Palace in a few years eventually. According to twitter, we have agreed £59.5m ManC offer.

Having watched him for a while, I don't think he got the vision to create enough opening passes, rather he dwells on the ball too much and tries to make runs through the middle way too often or shoot from distance. It's not bad though, but I would appreciate if he learns to be a heartbeat playmaker instead of being pure attacking midfielder.

I would go for Romagnoli instead.

Rolan is playing on the wings but is adept playing in front. Think of Mirallas. One of the best wing-forwards in Ligue 1, and is young with plenty of potential. Should be a good signing.

 

Do you not want to spend £20m on Pelle becuase he has a year on his contract, or because you dont rate him?

I would not pay 20 million for any 31 year old player, no matter who he is.

I don't know, I would like building young and talented squad of players at the age of 20-23, who can jump straight into the first team. There are so many around the world, for example looking at Portugal there are William Carvalho or Joao Mario both from Sporting or Ruben Neves from FCP, excellent midfielders. I'm sure we can get one of them for the Witsel's money but on smaller wage, and pretty sure they will be better than him in season or two, if they are not yet at his level. For the rest of the squad I would welcome some experienced players who will come cheap like Snejder. And please, Koeman don't splash out 20M for Pele, please!

Think this guy is click baiting after the amount of new followers he's gotten in the last day or two.

 

 

But would be nice.

I'm not that excited. Witsel isn't that good, and both are too old for the money we will get them.

Surprisingly I'm not disappointed this time. Not that we aren't total disgrace, but I would love to see Martinez's face at the post-match conference. If he was a man of honor, he would have resigned long ago. This is a man who obviously likes to be humiliated and I no longer feel sorry for him.

There are rumors that Mourinho might be interested in joining our club as a manager. What do you think of that possibility?

Martinez should be sacked at the end of the season. Unfortunately It looks like he will be given another chance to rebuild the squad in the summer and lead the team for another campaign.
