Blimey Ed Frank De Boer didn't last long.

{Ed025's Note - i know GB, palace are a disgrace mate how can you sack a manager after 4 games?..

11 Sep 2017 19:18:52
As big Sam says its the about the next four games they have coming up very tough, thanks Ed.

11 Sep 2017 20:04:02
In last two jobs he has lasted 14 games ed bet he laughing to bank.

{Ed025's Note - his reputation has flown out of the window though bretto..

11 Sep 2017 20:22:31
So many posters on here wanted him as well, dodged a bullet there.

Palace are disgraceful if you bring in a manager to play the ajax way which takes years to implement then back him, they honestly thought it would be done in 4 games.

{Ed025's Note - i agree mate..

Did you watch Palace yesterday? They were brilliant. OK they got beat and didn't score, but they played some lovely football. How can they sack him 4 games in? There you have all that is wrong with modern day football and modern day 'microwave' fans (and owners) ! an absolute disgrace. Take note and take heed all those who are grumbling about Ronnie.

12 Sep 2017 01:12:22
Nothing wrong in grumbling about Ronnie. I don't think that anyone is really suggesting that he be replaced. Just wish that he would stop being so dogmatic in his opinions of certain players.

Think the de Boer issue is more tham just results on the pitch. Think he was quite disruptive in the dressing room and various other issues in the background.

Player power strikes again?

12 Sep 2017 14:14:15
I agree Pierre, thought they played well against Burnley, and but for a couple of sitters missed and some very good defending. They could easily have won the game. Didn't look like a team who where not playing for the manager.

True ed but he properly still get job back in Holland or China.

1940Mike - I would have agreed until I saw he'd brought Niasse back into the fold.

Granted Koeman may have been too vocal in some of his opinions, but I'd be fairly irritated too by the way Barkley behaved after he'd been consistently inconsistent but still offered a huge new contract.

Just a thought, but maybe Koeman thinks he can build a system with three natural numbers 10s interlinking to stretch defences and create opportunities once they get to know each other's games. Quality CBs have the experience to nullify a big front man but a fluid front three could be a nightmare, particularly given that Rooney, Sig, Klaassen and Sandro can all finish.

OK, maybe that's wishful thinking.

I hope there are still some fans out there that are realistic, but are being patient at the same time, yes it was not great against Spurs but I will judge us when we are 12-15 prem games in, people still forget we're a new team with koeman into his 2nd season, and I would of taken 7th start of last season and he has done brilliant in 12 months to turn the squad into quality and stripped away the dead wood, so this is his team now, we have a great squad age and let's not forget we have Coleman and Bolasie to come back at the moment we don't have that striker we would like but if we couldn't get 1st or 2nd option then I don't want one.

11 Sep 2017 01:29:28
In New York at the moment was it that bad yesterday?

11 Sep 2017 05:41:20
Pretty dire. In my opinion, worst performance under koeman. Side lacked width, pace, creativity, formation. very bizarre. However, in my opinion we have talent in that squad. just need koeman to pick a best 11 rather than trying to shoe horn 5 central midfielder's into the same team. and obviously not replacing Rom is a big issue. but I think it will definitely improve.

11 Sep 2017 08:21:59
I agree it was the worst performance but for the first 30 mins until a lucky goal we did ok what surprised me was the front 4 had no idea where they were playing Sandro was all over the place klasson was supposedly on the right but kept moving inside leaving martina exposed sigs looked lost and Rooney had a poor game wish he would start lookman and Lewin and drop klassen and Sandro who will both need time to adapt. I would also drop Williams he has been poor for a while now and his body language was shocking time for jags to come back in.

bluey. bought that many midfielders it is as if Koeman wishes to prove his judgement right and so tries to shoe them all in. It obviously isn't working. Need a back 3 then two wingbacks, Gueye, Sigurdson, Rooney (both through the middle) , Lew and Sandro/ Niasse (who would have thought - until January) .
