Must admit. I liked some of what rk said today. It does take time for young and foreign players to adapt and it is not just individuals but a team problem. My only concern is he needs to find a way of getting this squad to adapt and gel. and quick. If we keep struggling then it becomes the norm and we may end up struggling to avoid relegation.
I think top 10 will be ok for this transition season but he needs the big amd experienced players (Baines, jags, Rooney etc) who have premier league experience to drag the others along. We need to be more forward thinking and playing not just back and sideways which we have been for last few games.
I will not push the panic button yet and I will support whoever puts on the jersey, every game but we need some form. Even if it means an own goal off someone's bum for a win. It may just kick start our season. ,

So how long? last night was embarrassing, it looks like MartÃnez again, sad .

It is bad but it's not mike walker or players like Marc hottiger.
We got good players and a manager that we all raved about last season.
If we still shocking come Christmas then i will join calls for his head but we got to stay strong together.
Man Utd were poor for 3 seasons after fergie and got it right eventually. We are a club on the up off the pitch so we need to support the players and hope they learn quickly what is as fans require from them. All clubs get beat but we need to show fight and passion and ill admit not seen much of that last 3 games or so.

I'm with you all the way geoffjohno. Not the time to be putting everyone at the club down. If it continues yes but its way too early to be calling for heads and talking about relegation. As bad as we are the moment it is temporary.
I bet others who come on here would be gloating that there is talk of relegation already with only a few games into the new season. Stick together and the good times will role. Not expecting anything major this weekend but after that I would be expecting to get results. If we don't get decent results in the 10 games after the Utd game then I would get worried.

it is a managers job to select the team and implement tactics, it his also his job to coach and motivate his team, however he has blamed them for a lack of all this which is qui correct but he must shoulder his share as we are devoid of any confidence or motivation at this time. At times last night I though the lad Vlasic was the only one prepared to take on defenders and dribble with the ball, yet again we looked unbalanced and one paced.

We did wakka but it is early days. Even atalanta who stuffed us last night, lost 4 out of their first 5 games last season in Italy and still finished 4th.
We had moyes as manager for 11 years and we were always garbage before Christmas but pulled it around after.
I will give rk til Christmas or even end of season and if we still not happy then we can shout for a change of manager not in September. Who are We, Crystal palace?
Always thought we had more class than that. We need a Kendall moment to just turn our season around for positive.

United got it right after fergie? Its took 3 managers to get it right.

Fergie even nearly got the sack himself in his early career with Utd.
Anyone follow Southampton the 2 seasons before Koeman came to Everton?
Well I did and they done crap in the first 15-20 games both seasons and from what I remember turned things around and finished 7th give or take a position both seasons. We didn't start off brilliantly last season either. Seems that as the season progresses so does Koeman and his team.
Thought we were one of the few clubs who don't buy into sacking the manager at the first sight of things not going our way. I guess I was wrong.
