Ronald Koeman

[serghei]

He's a shite manager and I don't want him here after this season. However... if Dest scores instead of doing one of the worst misses all season then how does the game finish? Maybe we still lose but it's not like we created 0 chances. And then Alaba with something out of nothing. Dest miss ruined the game. Of course Koeman is still shite.

Yea man, but it has to be said that even beating this Madrid is not some big win the way they showed up. I'd say they showed up as crap as they did vs Sherrif Tiraspol. They got beaten by Espanyol a couple of weeks ago. The same team showed up.

If you don't beat this Madrid today, you never will in the next years.

Both managers look pretty bad after this Clasico. The football was dire from both sides.

Do I give the impression that I like Koeman? I don't, and I'd sack him for sure. But Dest has to finish that chance at 0-0. There's no excuse.

True, that's on Dest. Pressure got to him for sure.

Dest is a right back. He isn't supposed to score every chance, even if that was an easy one. He has been played as a winger (not even inverted) which he isn't.
So again, if you rely on him to score, it's your fault.

Alaba scored a 5x harder chance pipe downnn

Well, it's not like he's debuting for the team. Should have scored that and also that assist he gave to our best transfer in recent years, Vinicius, was priceless moment.

barca players when they trade the ball back and forth genuinely it feels like they wanna get rid of it.. Nobody seems to know what is the fucking plan... All the time.. Every match.

True. He had a shocker. Typical performance from him. Very inconsistent. It can be a great game, OK or terrible. You never know.

Anyway, we need to be constructive at this point. The squad is what it is. We need to get the most out of it, and with Koeman it's not possible because he's bad. Instead of improving us, he adds another problem over all other problems.

almost like koeman is a terrorist

Learning a new phrase (from KingLeo specifically) doesn't mean you can use it in every situation. You have to learn to search for the context in which to utilize it.
Apart from that, Alaba is a beast full back, non comparable to Dest and a Coach can expect some goals from him.
Back to the basement now.

Still created the goal basically, so, he's a very inconsistent player, but he does provide the required impact at times. The key is to improve his level. Not going to happen with a mediocre manager.

The question is if he's always gonna be this way, or he will improve. Who the fuck knows...

Exactly. I haven't noticed any improvements since he joined. He can't build any sort of system or gameplay for the players. They seem clueless most of the time.

It's bad for everybody right now, for Barca and Koeman as well. Koeman is probably made to look worse than he is. He's just not a manager to come up with a plan, but in the right circumstances, with the right players, he's not THAT terrible either.

Basically a conservative manager who expects the players to make a difference in 1 vs 1. A very demanding manager for the players. Good luck to him but he probably will never get to coach a team that gives him this luxury.

valverde would school this stinky dutchman
