"Barcelona won only 1 point in total against Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid this season.
That is the worst record since the 1964/65 season."
Consider this, we could have been in the running for the treble this season had we not been robbed in the Super Cup or defeated Atletico - great example of how the trophies or stats would not reveal how poor Koeman has been as we still would've lost more points than won against the toughest opposition in Spain
I think those stats quoted are quite relevant in the context of his continuity, we have looked 2nd best and at Barca that is never good enough - Ron knows this and he can try & point to not having signings last summer but it changes little from the inability to get the 1st team to play at a competitive level demanded at Barca. We saw it in moments during the season, particularly when we were behind against inferior opponents in CDR - but against the strongest? We have looked inferior
He had his chance and even with his personality, we see he cannot transmit that sort of confidence & quality onto the pitch consistently. For that, he has had ample time & resources to put out a side that may drop points but always deliver the appropriate level of intensity & competitiveness - we did not experience that with Koeman
