I'm as disappointed as every blue that we didnr bear Norwich but two points.
Koeman has never taken the cup seriously and is all about the league and to a degree the f a cup
Last night was about experimenation, mori at leftback, and to see what we need and to bring in. I know that January is a bad time to buy but I can see some business being done
Personally think that quite a few of the players last night did not cover themselves in glory but hopefully it was a blip and normal service will be resumed on Saturday. Onwards and upwards blues, keep up the momentum in the league.

I agree Efcfanatic. Last night was a disappointment. But we are bound to get some of these. Koeman said it will take time to get a squad together. I think people are overreacting a little bit. I know it was disappointing but can't throw the toys out of the pram because we had one stinker out of 7 games. The other 6 exceeded pretty much everyone's expectations.
Its how the team recover from that loss now that will measure their steel. Hopefully they'll put it behind them and pick up where they were before it.

Agree totally with the above be a different side on Saturday and a different attitude from the main players that are responding well to Koeman's tactics and coaching methods. As for comments from so-called experts such as Mr Gale, I take as much notice as I do from the Mother In Law (and that on a good day) .

Agree it will take time, I think we will do well to finish 6/ 7th but for me that's why we should go all out for cup games, its the only way we will get silverware?

Stig I get what you are saying about silverware I really do mate. However the name of the game to me is CL football, because that way we truly join the big ambitious type clubs in attracting the players we prioritise as identified improvements to the squad.
Right now we (RK) are struggling to get players we know are the perfect fit and settling for the 'almost but not quite' and 'will just have to do for now' getting top 4 will guarantee the sort of success in tranfer windows we need.

Champions league will help us attract the sort of player we need and to a degree so will Europe league. The be all and end all is we need to qualify for Europe in one way or another.

Could be a blessing, just league games til the window opens, but on a positive, Koeman will not make the same mistake when the fa cup comes round.
