Ronald Koeman

[Birdy]

If Ten Haag isn't willing to speak Spanish in matter of few months at least, then you are hiring a poor copy of him.
Globalization didn't change that. Most of those players have barely completed high school education and it will cause huge stresses if they have to communicate with coaches through translator.

Sure, but there is a difference between managing to learn basics of a language and being fluent at it.
At the age coaches get these jobs they can hardly acquire even intermediate level in a language. Basics OK, but in explaining tactics and talking a lot to the players to address all kinds of issues, you need the full set of capacities of a language.
That's why an interpreter is necessary in these situations.

Catalan is not hard to understand if you speak Castellano at the level Koeman does.

I speak better castellano than Koeman and still have trouble understanding it at times.

Edit: no, he is still slightly above me.

Big night for him.

Balls on him to play Pique and Lenglet... I hope it doesn't bite his ass.

Minguenza is a bum anyway. Don't know why but I feel more assured with Pique. At least he can organise the defence and bring some calmness

Ballsy would've been to play Mingueza, however the irony is the more perceived safer option is probably the riskier going on recent events in Europe.

I'd of been more inclined to go with Pique-Mingueza. Lenglet is an absolute disaster most of the time.

Sometimes the one with the balls doesn't feel the need to show them...
Alba-Lenglet-De Jong-Pique would be my lineup, but this is fine as well. Mingueza should play CB or play bench.

Pique reborn as RB?

Yep he could play as Abidal but on the other side, leaving Alba even more free, as Alves were.
I thought Mingueza would play that way last game but only sometimes.

Obviously I'm not the coach and it is no idea to argue from afar that players should be tried in different positions
Having written a few weeks on this forum, it's obvious almost all of its members have a total lack of - imagination.
Instead of trying to understand, learn, or imagine, they rather just put a smiley of some sort

That's because you're bad at trolling.

Easily the biggest clown on this forum right now.

 

[SmilerBam]

And again we are absolutely shit in a big match under him.Yet people see him as a great coach.Edit:3-1.Fire this clown and bring a real coach.

 

[Devils]

He's finished.

People rave about him because he can manage against the likes of Alaves.

He's absolutely nothing against good teams.

Worse than EV. Slightly better than Setien.
