I Very precise and correct. What on earth is the logic in leaving things as they are ! Koeman does this. Has some some sort of love in going on with Pelle...

Yes but what is your point ? We are putting Pelle in where he doesn't fit? Why play him when our game has been playing two quick guys making runs in behind.... Hope Long is ok but even if not Pelle off Austin on and one of Mane Long off too...

What is Koeman waiting for with Pelle still on the pitch and West Ham in control!!!!

I'm sorry but we need the quick forward guys up front and a Midfielder on in place of the useless waste of space Pelle... Why was he picked? Out rhythm has been badly affected by his inclusion.... Constantly outnumbered in midfield allowing West Ham to control the game. Get Pelle OFF

As usual Pelle on the team sheet but not on the pitch ! We carry the guy...

Oh do behave - Pelle has not, is not and will not be the answer.....

I think you right - You cannot see the problem but it's there....

So hope this happens.... There is a strong rumour which is how Pochs agent operates of course .... The agent likes to begin the rumours about now so all is ready go at the end of the season... Is there any way we can pour petrol on the fire.....

If it's for charity yes. Testimonials are outdated as a payday for long service players given the money they are on these days..

Totally disagree with all of that.....

On signing our players he had the last word.. He wanted them and then ridiculed us for letting them go.... He wanted them.... Loved watching a poor Lallana and Clyne today - perfect.... Let's finish above them this year.... Lallana will be out of the Liverpool reckoning soon and then transferred out to a Stoke or Norwich style team in the Summer.... :-) Klopp will have a clear out that is for sure...

Lallana was very poor, as was Clyne and Schiderline pretty poor too....... Lucky Utd bang average side we can turn them over if we stick to what is working for the team...

It's good business as long as we don't sell Long :-))) We have needed a good goal scoring player for a 'long' time. Pelle only makes us play 'long' and when we do that we are a 'long' way off the pace. A great signing and 'long' may it continue.... ;-)

Could be true though!

Yeah hands up but it's 2 out of 11 and will he 'experiment/ change it all again on Saturday?

What is he doing????? TO CLEVER by half..... Yet another brand new line up/system he just continually experiments.... We are trying to combat other teams and don't think about what we want to do.... Madness - lose this and he needs to go..... Has been poor and doesn't demonstrate he has a clue...

As someone else mentioned 'Coaching' staff might be misrepresenting the term... There is so little sign of coaching going on at the moment.... If you don't come fully equipped and Caulker certainly didn't you ain't gonna get better with us!

I Damn good post.... This where Koeman is weak... He cannot see this symptoms and cannot evidently as he doesn't see things clearly he cannot coach them iether..... Hence we will be back to Pelle who is starting to making SRL look world class... We have midfielders who never make runs beyond the forwards etc etc etc..... Koeman cannot coach...

I'm sorry but we were playing worse with Pelle fit than we have been with Mane and Long so what specific difference will having Pelle back make? It's just yet another Koeman excuse which he seems to be making with more and more regularity. Best performance this year without a shadow of a doubt was against Arsenal. Let's at least learn from that but Koeman never does. So let's put statuesque Pelle back in and see how much better we are ???? Time for a change. Poch coached and obviously improved players but there is no sign that Koeman does this. We are not fit that is plain for anyone to see. We give it 20 mins every game and that's it. Koeman's tactics are are at best random and at worst guesswork. Our defending is abysmal and has been all year. The players Koeman has brought in are mostly well short of the standard required for this club with no hope of our coaching improving them... I am failing to see what Koeman is actually bringing to the party... Time Koeman was put under pressure and told he got two games now at home to show a dramatic improvement or its curtains. We have gone backwards under him and now we should recognise that.

Koeman is far too 'clever' fog his own good!!! Too much tinkering with formations, too much attention to what an average Palace or Norwich side might do to us. Koeman is not that good..... a poor attempt by him today again... Yes our players are not overly great but he doesn't help the situation at all... Five at the back ????? Why haven't we identified the reasons we beat Arsenal and repeated them, instead we always go try something else different ??? We reinvent the wheel every week... And lose every week that cannot be a shock to anyone except Koeman...

Wasn't that one at the Archers end?

Another one who thinks football is rocket science..... It actually isn't ...

You are joking - right !!!

If we continue to sell players will come here with only one thing on their minds, moving out as quick as possible. Eventually we will be relegated. We cannot continue to let players go. They must sign for six years minimum. We cannot build a team around reserve players. The policy has to stop..... Also we have to shout from the rooftops our ambition.....our ambition incase you didn't know is Champions League.... We currently seem to have no stated target so why would any player want to be here except to move on. The are actively demotivitating players.

It matters
