I think so too. He is too rigid with a formation that is not working. We have problem scoring yet we did not even sign an attacker.
We are more likely to be in a relegation battle than top 10, let alone last season 8th position |

The only concern is will we eventually score. Once we score,there seem to be very little danger of conceding. Well done to the whole team for another defensive masterclass |

Agreed, at the end of the day it is only 1 very good game. We need to be far more consistent to be truly out the rut. It just takes a few more defeats to sink back in the mix. Back to back runs will get our morale back up and it will translate into our performance
Good job guys for a well played game |

No doubt bout it, we are definitely in a relegation battle. I hope Koeman realise how short his squad is really is.
We are simply not good enough. Once the opposition score first or equalise, it seems most likely they will win. Our heads just go down |

We always have problems chasing a game. We are technically a defensive team and our tactics and shape is build on that. That is why we have a disastrous record of winning a match in the last 2-3 years after conceding the first goal.
This is the same case with this match. We know we need to score to have any chance of progress but we were too defensive right from the start.
I do believe we need a more creative midfielder or maybe change the formation to let Juanmi or others have a chance to start. |

I think we will finish around 9th. The extra european fixtures will be quite a strain to our squad. I feel out squad is still relatively small and we probably need an additional centreback and maybe a number 10 who plays behind strikers |

We really need to stop all these early goals from going in. All the teams simply sit behind and wait for us to attack. We simply cannot unlock defense when teams packed behind. Pelle surprisingly is still starting matches |

Actually it is not easy being a target man in our formation. We are technically a more defensive team than an offensive one. Our formation of 4-2-3-1 is a defensive version where we have Davies floating around between the midfield lines. This means that normally there are only 2 players usually Mane and Tadic supporting immediately when he wins the ball. It is not easy to pass to them especially when teams are getting more defensive against us compared to early part of the season.
We need more pace to break down defense and this is where Long will fit in better |

Schneiderlin is absolutely instrumental to us. Unfortunately i do not think he will stay. I am hoping Clyne and Schneiderlin will surprise us and do what Fabian Delph did for Aston Villa |

I think we are too far off to challenge for a top 4 and our recent form and results are not comparable to Liverpool, Arsenal and Man United, so i would rather just focus on finishing 6th. Just make sure we finish above spurs and i will be more than happy |

He is good with his pace but seems to lack the ability to cross well. I think he really went off to a big club too early. If he remained with us for another season or two, i would think he will be a better player than now. |

I have to agree. I think even if we manage to qualify for Champions League, it will be hard to keep them with our wage structure compared to those who want them.
I think we just have to get used to this cycle of a successful season ends with the main performers leaving. If we are successful like this every season, i honestly dont mind. |

Sadly i think Atletico might. Spending about 2m to buy out the option and then reselling him maybe at 15m sounds like a good deal to me. |

I think he has to be dropped and rested for the next match
We were never going to be a truly high scoring side. Our good results are built on good defense but when you concede in the first 5 min, other sides are simply going to sit back and wait for you to attack. We will struggle to break them down because we do not have enough players who can turn a game around with a dribble or with a good shot from distance. Our shooting is very poor. Did we have a decent shot on goal from distance, sadly none. |
