Disappointed and frustrated. Although I'm not as defeatist as most on here. I will agree at the moment things look bad. The season will be a rollercoaster ride. Someone suggested the last two seasons were not RM fault. For me they mostly were and we are still paying the price of his 3 years here. Not entirely his fault but he was doing more harm than good imho.

A big problem I think is our team picks itself too easily. Players are not challenged enough. Apart from the wide players and really only on the right the team hasn't changed at all. Without considering suspensions and the odd injury.

Opposition must find it easy to set themselves up against us. They pretty much know before the game what to expect. One player imho should be given a proper chance is Del boy. He has the talent and skill. I honestly thought when he returned he'd cement a place in the first 11 pretty quickly. He has been disappointing.

When he gets his confidence going he's a very good player to score and create goals. What we've been badly missing this last few games. Mirallas and Lennon are just not good enough any more imo.

Also Davies, Holgate, Mori, McCarthy, and even Valencia or Gibson are worth a try. If even to get the players off their arse and some passion back in the game. It looks like they are going through the motions.

It does feel something is wrong looking at the last few games. Not sure what it is. Some suggesting the players are not behind the manager. Not convinced that's it but we need to get out of this sticky patch sooner rather than later.

It may be a bad patch we're going through and we do improve. Koeman did say 2 years after all. We are not even quarter of the way there. I had a sneeky suspicion things would get worse before they got better. I just hope I'm right on that front and the better is around the corner.

All fair points NBTB. I think our recent form has taken us all by surprise. a bit like the first 6 games. What will be will be. I think Koeman does change the shape and team too much myself though. He has had Mori, Del, Lennon, Mirrallas, McCarthy, Cleverley and Barkley in and out the team a bit. and we were knocked out of the cup so its not like we were under pressure with 2 or 3 games a week. I don't want to start blaming Koeman and give the guy a chance so that's what will happen. I hope he manages to pick up morale and we put another run together.

Apart from Barkley Degsy how many games did the rest of them players you listed there start? A combined total of about 5 or 6?

We where crap. End of.

There are certain players who seem to be picked come what may. Barry, Jags, Williams, Barkley (except for 1 game) and a few others. That much I agree with you on. The frightening thing is, some other teams look like teams. ie a combined 11 working together. We look like a bunch of individuals who have lost the plot and are not sure what they are supposed to be doing. I watched Bournemouth and a few so called lesser teams over the weekend and they have a plan or system. whatever you want to call it. They are together. We do not look like that.
