Ronald Koeman

[Barcilliant]

The 2-8 will come in handy for Koeman. If there are any complaints from the seniors he can just say "If you think you're good enough make a PowerPoint presentation as to why YOU should start".
Rakitic will show his goal from 2015 final and some longshots and Busi will show his twists and turns against United from 9 years ago.

There's basically nothing they can say to convince Koeman. Shut the fuck up and sit on the bench or GTFO.

😂 Spot on man! Well said.

Playing De Jong in his natural position?

Ronald Koeman: Yes, that is what I have in mind. If you invest in a player then you must play him in his favoured position. The same applies to Griezmann too. He isn't a winger, and he must be played in a position he is used to."

aww yeah dawg. We have arrived.

Will be interesting to see what that position will be.

Ironically, the best position for Greizmann is already occupied by Messi. That?s the most frustrating thing about him being in this team. Anyone who followed him for France and Athleti would know he always played in that 10 role just behind the main striker. He has rarely ever played as a 9 at all.

Barcelona style play without 10 or one behind striker

Number 10 in Koeman's systems is all about off ball movement and helping in defensive transitions ala van De Beek and Wijnaldum. Puig is more of a ball to feet player, a typical 8 who functions as a 8 in a 433, can't play in a midfield two either. The one next to Frenkie will be someone who can cover for Frenkie so he can run the game.

With Ten Haag's assistent from Ajax this is the most likely scenario which is fine for me but the board should let them have full control over transfers.

But looking bad for Puig.

Weird number 10.

Let?s not forget, Koeman is bringing in Schreuder as well. Will be exciting season.

Authoritarian coach against star players and big ego`s, you know that usually doesnt end well, for the coach.

Lucho?

Anyway, Koemans case is different. He?s gonna be backed by a lot of people as the players have already been exposed as a spoiled bunch.

Honestly, he can do no wrong and and players know it. If news comes out about Koeman getting tangled up with certain players, fans are going to ble the player. Players should know to respect his authority.

We will see.
Player power has only increased over the past decade or so, managers who are "the boss" are becoming a rarity, and usually ends with players winning that battle, its much cheaper to replace a coach than half the dressing room.

No shit with the amount of money we invested into FDJ, we should be playing him in his best position.

We spent the entire season trying to gamble with the idea that FDJ can evolve into some sort of Iniesta like CM, but what we got is playing a guy who often didn't get the ball enough and looked more like a water carrier than what the idea we were trying to use him. The day he signed that contract was the day we should have been building around him.

 

[JerseyAddict]

Next thirty days will be interesting..

exactly.
This is now clear state of "super name coach" vs "super name bunch of wanna be wolrdstar players"... Koeman is an authority to dismiss this "amigos bunch" and show them the bench/door.
it is only thing I rely on with Koeman. Or at least I put my faith in that.

Well in this case the players are all washed up geriatrics though. Everyone saw them get slaughtered by Bayern and Barto called them out publicly.

Amigos don't have much going for them at the moment, won't be easy but if there ever was a time to clean house it's now.

 

[Capitan Puyol]

Under Koeman Benfica did reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League 2005/2006 eliminating Liverpool in the first knockout stage (1/8 finals ) with 2 wins 1-0 in Portugal and 2-0 at Anfield !

Yeah my point exactly. Koeman?s situation doesn?t compare for example to lets say Benitez.

 

[behindbrowneyes]

Where does he want to put Griez ? His best position is where Messi tends to roam.

.

"When you invest in a very good player and paid a lot of money for him, you have to play him in his natural position. He'll play there at Barca, too. In that position is competition from other players and of course he has to work very hard."
