Seriously take a look at how many games he has played compared to Long goals to games ratio if you want to put statistics in capitals.... The team are poor in most instances with Pelle playing. With him in the team we are going nowhere ...

When was the last time Pelle made a run in behind a defence or out wide? Or won a header or even missed a chance? He's not good for our team and creates very little.

It's all very we'll having a go at Long BUT he at least gets into those positions to score unlike our usual static centre forward! Also Long actually wins headers unlike our leaden footed static Pelle. We are far better with Long in the team...

We have played predictable slow football producing worsening results with Pelle in the team.... Why on earth would we bring him back in? Madness

RK does make some strange decisions and tinkers far too much....

Never a truer post.... This system has been tried before to a high degree of success. Koeman has been guilty of trying to be too clever before now and immediately changing the team selection and model. This time we must learn from our success and stick to what works for us and to a large degree for many other teams who are enjoying success right now. Stick with it RK.... The universe is sending you a powerful message for Gods sake listen this time...

Why is working hard 'stupid' exactly??? Perhaps you could explain?

Wenger needs to learn humility. His team were second best and despite some terribly bias refereeing were soundly beaten 6-0 with two wiped off by said ref which he chooses to completely ignor. I really do think Wenger is a questionable human being who chooses the moments to see things and other moments to really strangely look the other way ???? A very poor loser - tough luck you winging Wenger and lucky you for not losing 6 nothing which would have been a fair result ..Such a big time Charlie with no charisma or generosity what so ever .. And while you are at it, for Gods sake go buy a coat that actually fits you!

Amazing - watch Koeman change back to Pelle again as soon he's fit! He must not meddle this time...

Trepidation.

I know - let's just keep on doing what we always did. Very inspiring ! Just what is Clasie suddenly going to contribute that will be different to before ? Totally baffling ...... What ever ......

Koeman's apathy has well and truly got through to the crowd now. If ever they needed a lift it is now!!! How on earth you could twist this situation to be the 'crowd's' fault is quite beyond me!!!

Koeman is not that clever! We don't press and don't work hard enough. We play long to Pella and don't support him! We played JWP on the right - he did well - we never played him there again! Koeman needs to up his game but is he capable ??? X

I understand your enthusiasm for an FA Cup win but logically why would we suddenly start beating the top 14 teams when we are playing in the FA Cup??? Seems rather fanciful.... Fact is, we are off the pace and very ordinary and struggling to maintain that even. Be realistic - there is quite some improving to do before we can expect to get anywhere near the FA Cup...

C Surely buying Clasie who is not a step up even on what we have, let alone Morgan is doing nothing ..... It's not all about the price you pay of course but it is about the quality and Clasie is very average ....

You must have been away on another planet then for significant chunks of that period when we were eminently better than we are right now and at any time under Koeman.... I have to say with less comparable budget too...

Superb performance

Davis off.... Just plain strange!

Under Koeman a steady decline in the football. No closing down, players a long way apart, lack of keeping procession ( see previous point) .... Potch is streets ahead as a coach .... We rely on luck .... Little structured football ...

NOTE TO KOEMMAN you are not coaching the basics to players!!!! We do not close down the player on the ball and so continuously allow crosses to come in while we stand and watch!!! This has been happening ever since Koeman arrived but he continues to let it happen..... WHY - it's basic! ??????

The problem is, that is debatable so why did we buy him? JWP should perhaps be stuck out on the wide right again which is the only position he has shone in this year. Niether him or Clasie will take us far in a central role.. It's not as though we bought Clasie as 'one for the future' how long do we wait for him to get up to speed? To be honest being that small you have to be outstanding and very strong to survive in this league and I'm really not convinced he is.

Really ? Surely not much....

Not sure where you have been this season but Clasie is clearly not good enough...

This is familiar isn't it...... We are not fit..... All I hear about these days is the players having days off. Koeman seems to think pressing is not important and therefore fitness is not that important.

Koeman does not learn his lessons and repeats adfinitum the same personnel and system. Even we have been forced to changed and it has been successful he dumps it immediately.... Caulker on the bench !!! He is obviously not good enough so why was he even on the bench? Our out on loan under 21s cannot be worse - if they are, why are we still employing them? Decision making by the Manager is suspect. Our style of play is lazy and slow, our fitness is very suspect, our pressing is non existent..... Koeman's attention to detail is severely lacking. The whole management seems to have drifted with complacency now. Come on RK get your act together and work harder on your own game as well as the team's ... It's time to step It up! If you always do what always did etc etc .....
