Well I was never a big fan of Roberto but I have to give him credit for setting up his teams to knock a lot of goals past some decent sides in the same pointless Europa League competition. I really can't see how our club can allow this farce to continue. The players are clearly scared to make a mistake-probably because they know they'll be hung out to dry by their manager. Now I've never been a football manager but I have managed lots of teams of staff in challenging situations and I know ( as does any other manager worth their salt) that encouragement and support is what a team needs. I think these players are scared and so would rather hide away than express their true abilities. It looks like a complete failure of coaching to me. But then again, what do I know?

The whole team is under stress. The players haven't given up. They just haven't found their groove.

No 1 on a Managers List must be the ability to delegate, delegation takes skill and trust. clearly Koeman is a hands on type of person. The people at the Club who actually know it and the playing staff are clearly not being listened to.
