Ok we all must agree we should of not only beaten Watford but destroyed them. I have no faith in us to turn a side over 3/ 4-0 anymore personally would like us to play 3 at the back baines and Coleman as wingbacks with either 3 man midfield withTWO upfront or 2 in midfield 2 upfront with one behind. If that didn't work try something else don't stick to one way of play. This January must be big fir us and none of this deadline day shot either on the 1/ 1/ 17 we best be either parading a new player or players.

{Ed025's Note - it seems like a battle of wills at the moment alyn, the players dont seem to be adapting to the managers style of play and something has got to give, as you say we need an influx of players to freshen things up, i know i keep saying it but dont expect miracles in january mate..

Hi Ed025. Not sure what the managers style of play is at the moment. It was pretty clear to me what Martinez style was but I am not quite sure what Koeman wants the players to do. Whatever it is I presume that they are not doing it. Any ideas?

{Ed025's Note - apparently he is an advocate of the high press mike, watching us though its hard to believe as we are so sluggish, its been suggested that a lot of our team are not buying into that and thats where we have a problem, if this is the case then we are between a rock and a hard place and somethings got to give so its either change the manager or the players mate...its the players for me..

Agree with above. Also, maybe Koeman doesn't know himself what is the best or first choice players. He has after all only 15 games under his belt. Prob has a good idea but if things don't work out as planned he obviously has to go back to square one.

Thanks ed appreciate your reply. It's pretty obvious that we need a clear out of players and new ones to come in but that will take time. At the moment we play with essentially 7 defensive minded players (I've included the goalkeeper and the two midfield players) and four attacking players. Very difficult to play a high press mode with that team. We need some attacking midfielders who can move the ball forward quickly and also score goals. Until we get this type of player maybe Koeman needs to asses what the players he has can do and modify the playing style to maximize the players capabilities. Let's face it the same players did pretty well for the first five games of the season. What style were they playing then?

{Ed025's Note - thats very true mike and thats why we have been saying that this is a minimum 2 year enterprise before the team will be koemans baby, as you say he can only do so much with this bunch and will gradually weed out the wheat from the chaff, it wont be easy mate and it will certainly be a bumpy ride...so fasten your seat belts..

What some of us are missing is during the 1st 5 games of the season a lot of teams were also bedding in their players sorting out new systems and getting their own houses in order now they have settled down they are becoming much harder to play against. RK is actually finding out who is capable of playing the way he wants and it pretty obvious that there are not many. Its going to be a long hard season me thinks but I still think we will be stronger for it.
