So people will blame Koeman, people will blame the players and say it isn't Sam's fault.
So here we go:
Sigurdsson left wing.
Martina left back when Garbutt is there.
3 Holding midfielders against Bournemouth.
Saying players need rest then continuing to play them.
Saying it doesn't matter what Klaassen does he won't get in the team no matter how hard he works, what a man.
Lookman and Vlasic can't get a game.
These are all his doings, no one is forcing him to make these decisions, are people still sure they want him for next season because he wears an earpiece and talks about sports science? .
If people think he's the man to take us forward then you really do baffle me, he's never done anything in his career to indicate he can take us forward. Thank you if you keep us up and good luck and all that now on you go.

Couldn’t of said it better myself mate.

What’s your role in finch farm to be able to disagree with what he says?
But I do agree with the fact he talks about balance and plays sig out of position for starters.
Maybe he don’t want to register Garbutt in case he not up to scratch.
Nothing wrong with saying a player isn’t good enough if that’s how it is.
It’s clear by your posts swan you are just anti SA, blinkers on and blame manager for everything, it’s disgraceful that the man has not changed any playing staff but our decline is all his fault .

Martina is a terrible player - I don't understand why he's still playing. I thought Williams could cover left back; surely he would be a better option? Or switch Kenny and play Holgate at right back? At the moment we might as well play with ten men.

I hate to say this, but 12 games ago we were dire. We never looked like a goal nor winning a game. He came in and we got a few clean sheets and points and some were praising him as the messiah whilst others said the type of football was terrible. I looked at our fixture list and in one post stated that I expected a setback on the way. We had Manchester United, Liverpool away, Spurs away, WBA away, Bournemouth away, Chelsea and Newcastle away. We had not won away for 12 months. Our goalscoring was next to nothing and our creative play too. We got a few results and then had this terrible fixture list with the same group of players that Koeman had taken us to 3rd from bottom. Yes I expected this setback. I also hear some talking about pushing on for 6th position? we were 3rd from bottom when he arrived and looking like relegation certs. Give the bloke a chance. The squad he inherited was filled with youngsters and ageing players. 5 x number 10's. no center forward. No left back. Yes he may pick a different player to you and mein certain positions. Yes he may make mistakes. but the position we are in now is different to when he arrived. Give him a chance and then judge him.

There ya go manager just said it himself, tried to change things and the team have showed him they can not cope. So that to me says he knows he needs to change a lot of them in the long run.

Another defeat we are starting to get sucked back in to a relegation battle.

Let’s face it we can all blame SA the players the board etc but harsh reality is we are miles adrift of the top 6 .
The last 2-3 seasons show that a poor recruitment policy is now showing, buying aging players to fill gaps and using the youth has left us so short of quality.
We are totally unbalanced lack the pace spurs destroyed us with today and are predictable.
The only positives I took from today was Tosun looks decent, Pickford is okay and Gueye was as dependable as ever, the rest were poor!
The Rooney Sigurdsson debate continues, No lookman again, what that kid has to do to get a game only god knows yet it seems he preferred Lennon to get a sympathetic run out in front of his old fans.

I don’t get why you guys play that Martina he is useless! You have some talented youngsters but they lack the experience and fight sometimes so you should be able to rely on the more experienced players but quite honestly the kids seem to care more and be more up for it than the older lot! New guys looks decent though not nervous at all.

Sounds like excuses and I don’t need to be a part of finch farm to have an opinion on it do I?
13 Jan 2018 20:41:34
Degsy, if he keeps us up, which is the max he can achieve, would you seriously throw a new contract at him?
13 Jan 2018 22:53:56
No Swan mate. Like I said previously the playing staff is poor. I haven't made my mind up yet on the manager tho. The squad has got seriously bad over the last 4 seasons. We not only don't score. we don't even create chances. But its a bunch of kids being asked to step in in many key positions and poor signings. although I agree we should have a go with Sig in the middle. I am hurting as much as you Swan. It is awful. But another sacking now? No way will that do us good and its up to us as supporters to do exactly that now. support. But yes of course you are entitled to your opinion. and so am I. Keep your spirits up and wait for a couple of transfers before we get major improvements. I think we are 4 or 5 players away from being able to dominate games again. Just hope there are 3 worst teams than us. We are not safe yet.

Exactly what I’m saying degs.
