Koeman continues to make exactly the same mistakes over and over again. We have tried the three forwards recently and were woeful. We had no midfield when it was obvious to every we needed to flood it !!! Koeman picks the team and tactics just randomly with no thought at all.... It must be very demotivating for the players too... This guy is well off the pace... I know the team were carp but Koeman gave us no chance tonight... There are few words to describe his inept decisions on all levels for this match. He didn't react at the weekend iether when again he was left wanting tactically and team sheet wise.... Very poor indeed .... Poch is in another league as a manager...

Sorry Koeman you really have lost it! Rubbish decisions compounded by yet worse decisions still.... Poor management ...

The ball has never 'stuck upfront' when kicked to Pelle in case you hadn't noticed... Pelle is not the answer that is one assumption we can tick off.....

Having serious doubts about Koeman considering the players he has at his disposal. Too many poor decisions in terms of tactics and personnel ..... He needs to up his game....

This is shocking Koeman you are tactically off the pace mate.....

What is this bloody line up Koeman? Weird - you are again trying to be clever in a destructive way ... Why? Tactically what is the logic yet again.... We have better individuals so come on sort it out .....

Huge surprise - outnumbered in midfield!!!!

Well, baffling.... Pelle dropped great but the rest of that random team? Is RK being far too clever again? We have tried Bertrand forward with Yosh in the back three and it didn't work but we have to do that again? Also a weaker midfield with a front three which hasn't been effective.... Bournemouth like to have plenty of the ball in midfield so - we put less bodies in there with no obvious link to the front three? Just odd... If this goes tits up RK will bring Pelle on and pick him every game for the rest of the season..

Pitty for the poor lad.... We cheered like Saints had just scored!

Completely disagree with you. If he obviously continues to use the pass or flick to nobody and the coaching staff have told him not to why does he still do it AND still get picked? Conclusion is the coaching staff are happy with him. If not, don't pick him!

You have to put some of the blame on the coaching staff and RK here. Pelle should be shown how to work and obviously isn't! As for lack of match practice that is total BS he was just as bad when he played every game before his injury. We are poor when he plays and management should be able to see that or we should question them!

Please please Koeman sort yourself out. Pelle should be at Villa or some other very poor Championship team !

Why does Pelle continue to play Pelle who is obviously utter ****e - just WHY!

Brilliant !

Here we go, he used to play for us therefore we should sign him.... He has scored one goal this season and looks anonymous when on the pitch as does Walcot. So not as convinced as many on here... Might be ok, might not...

Yes the irony was surreal ....

We are arguably just as strong or stronger without Morgan..... We probably made home look decent here but he does have some quite weak areas and is not world class. Move on....

Mane for Long!!!!!!!!! Lol what evidence do you bring to the table to back up that illogical opinion?

Oil If you had read my post you will have seen I specifically mentioned the defence as a separate item giving evidence of my point.

The Happy Clappys are gloating but whilst we were largely in control we were playing a pretty poor Swansea side and without Long we probably wouldn't have scored. Pelle is obviously damaging our fluidity and he keeps the pressure on our defence by being marked all the time and not showing for a penetrative pass. He often loses possession when the ball does come to him because he with miss controls or fancy 'flicks' it to a opposing defender. We will make it easy for Chelsea if he plays. So yes it's a good run but our overall play is not all that going forward. RK also seems to randomly change the team around which is also not doing us any favours. We have some decent players don't forget and our defenders are errrrr not being changed in terms of personnel which kind of proves a point about a settled team being preferable.... Also look at Leicester for an example of This...

Pelle off now - let's take the game to them and start to control the ball...

Come on Koeman get Davis central, Pelle OFF, Mane on or Austin on .... Far too much tinkering Koeman apart from the Pelle mystery selection....

DM says we are lacking movement up front!!! Long is making runs Pelle non existent with odd fancy flick to no one.... No change there.... DM we are better with Mane and Long ! Come on Koeman, what is it with you and Pelle???

Consistently on the money posts Batman

Can't understand why RK talks about healthy competition for places and continues to pick a guy who is blatantly pretty poor and has been most of the season. Also he messes up our rythem of play. He reminds me of a Subbuteo centre forward except not quite as mobile!
