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.

At last a level headed post which is absolutely spot on Truebluemetz79. Especially about the striker. When the right one is available we'll get him. No point getting someone just for the sake of it. Koeman said himself it you don't get your 1st, 2nd or even 3rd choice player for a certain position it makes it much more difficult to get a right fit or any player for that matter.

The only thing that gets me, most of us new Rom was going last season so why not have a list of names for a replacement? a big mistake, think it going long winter mates.
{Ed025's Note - ronnie put all his eggs in one basket stig, he thought giroud was nailed on and by the time he said no there was little time left to get a quality replacement, that was a major faux pas by him and walsh and it will cost us big time i feel mate..

Ya never know. Niasse could be our forgotten hero. Clutching at straws but he knows where the goal is. occasionally.
Maybe one of the youth set up may get a chance and dcl looks a good player.

The issue these days is football is under a microscope 24/ 7, with the press and the likes of Sly sports, talk sport etc bringing news and rumours to us every minute of the day. They want air time and to sell stories however truthful its how they make money.
The pressure of this means opinion is often divided and clubs cannot be underperforming and jobs are ultimately the supreme sacrifice.
After the euphoria of what appears to be a great transfer window for us, the knives are out as appears at early stages that it is not as good as first seems. Unfortunately the No1 a striker has not happened and is the most ridiculous situation have.
But let's not also forget we have a very difficult first 6 games and shortcoming will and are being punished!
We have no options now till January so the manager will have to work out how to get the best of what he has until then!
