Ronald Koeman

[Horatio]

OK, so we exclude the part about rotations/subs, right? Where you acknowledge there's some base for a critical approach on Koeman.

Our squad is not as deep as you might think. Possibly drop points if we rotate as freely as youd like to. Koeman can't do right in this one. Will get criticzed if he rotates and possibly draw or not rotate as freely as some would like to.

Why would he drop points by using players who are still 2 times better than whatever the opposition has? The rotation team won 7-0 in 2 away games in CL. Surely they can take on Elche and win.

watch this b1tch celebrate on Barca's 2-0 goal against Elche.

Apology for the sarcasm. Assumed everyone would be wise enough to watch the video before commenting on the said video.

Narrator: He didn't

Still credits to the Koelt member being slippery enough to avoid quoting against direct evidence.

If Koeman today takes off Busquets for Pjanic to rest him and it goes wrong folk will implode.

There wouldnt be anyone claiming it was the right sub at right time to rest and team should still see it out. Everyone would be moaning about resting Busquets today rather than previous games.

It is easy to pick and chose what should have happened after the fact when decisions wont impact any result.

It's his job to make sure it doesn't go wrong. Playing Pjanic vs Elche should in no way mean things will go wrong against a sub-mediocre side like Elche.

Well done you have hit nail on head... it is his job to make sure it doesnt go wrong so taking out Busi who was one of best on park for purposes of resting him at 1-0 he made the right call.

If he does that and does go wrong will get blamed and it is not all on him once players get on pitch.

Dont weaken team when in control like today at 1-0. Ridiculous to claim he was wrong not to.

Nice turn. It's his job to make sure taking Busi off and replacing him with another player doesn't cause problems vs low level opposition. Things change, of course, when the quality of the opposition gets higher.

Nice. It is his job to make decision, not us.

No it is his job to win game and what decisions are taken when 1-0.

Naive to think otherwise.

One of your shite arguments again with no reality. Im ooot.

Sure. Exactly. Games, not game.

 

[FCMessi]

how much do you want to bet Koeman will still play Busquet against a team like PSG?

how much do you want to bet on Busquet not exposed by PSG?

 

[serghei]

Copa is ahead.

Exactly. A must win, decisive, game.

Of course he will as the best midfield has been Busquets, Pedri and FDJ.

Busquets lacks defensively and not his biggest fan but can 100% see why he will play him when look at alternatives.

I hope Busquet and Koeman earn your devotion against teams better than Elche.
