Na wa

FirstbornWds:
Lol. At some point, I thought nobody remembers that we have another midfielder that's wasting away.

Even Trincao would wither on the bench from the look of things

abduleez1:
Same here. I prefer Moriba to Pedri.
Moriba is just having a bad patch recently. It's like Koeman is telling him to do everything at once.
And the saying "doing everything does nothing"

BykeLaByke:
Wakers club...in fact wake-keep.

This is is level...nothing to add again.

See him conceding from 30yards out again.

abduleez1:
As I saw Fernandes name in squad list I shock sef. Wondering whether Koeman actually had plans for him, or he's just filling the player requirements.

The thing wey dey annoy me pass, why the fvvk will Koeman have Puig warming up at the sides, only for him not to play him. Consistently, back to back, he does that shït. It's obvious you don't like the guy, so why the fvvk you pretend. Why doesn't he have the balls to stay true to his agenda.
It's like he's just appeasing fans by including his name. Him go just use style dey warm the guy up, they pretend as if na in-game dynamics wey change na im make am no fit sub the guy in. When we all know say na 85' minutes him go put am(that's if he's merciful or cares at all).

Kilishihunter:
I know what he's capable of that's why I said he should revive himself bro That first goal almost cost Barca badly And as for Soler's goal that was a freakin stunner out of the blues

moufan:
the essence of moriba in the team is still a mistery to me, what is he doing in the team

BykeLaByke:
Revive himself...hahaha...no problemo,we deh look.

GrammarNazi1:
Anything to spite Puig, perhaps.

Koeman so hates Puig that a complete footballing rookie would be elevated above him.

Kilishihunter:
Very painful I get koeman wasn't willing to even give him any reasonable game time but him bringing on a fatigued pedri against Granada in the loss was what I couldn't fathom Even if he had brought in pjanic it would have been better Now fatigue and stress is telling on pedri at his freakin young age.

GrammarNazi1:
Koeman is not a good manager.

Koeman is not a good manager.

jpmoriarti:
No single manager satisfied every member of the squad, not even for a manager at his first season in an ultra unstable squad in transition. Once he found a seemingly working team, it'll take only perhaps injury to change that team.
Messi, Grezimann and Frenkie de Jong have all been working a tightrope of suspension but the coach continued to risk them.

So, that's how it is.

GrammarNazi1:
And who is talking about changing any team?

You need to be sure of a point before arguing against it.

Does a good coach refuse the development of other players?

Does a good coach not know WHEN to rotate and give minutes to other players?

jpmoriarti:
Good coaches win trophies. Rotating players in an unsettled squad such as ours, is a two-edged sword. It cost us 3 points against Granada.

losprince:
It wasn't rotation that cost us three points, it was the team selection that did. Koeman could have rotated and picked a much suitable squad for that match but he went with the usual suspects known to cause us heartaches again and again. koeman has shown that he can be clueless at times, just throwing in random things and hoping that something works, he is tactically inept and is yet to show any tactical brilliance since taking over this club.

I'm not a big Puig advocate, but pedri has become one trick pony basically and is being overplayed, puig is known to show balls when put in matches and has a fighting spirit and wants to succeed at this club, that's the kind of players you reward with minutes, the kind of players that can improve drastically from seeing game time.

The way JP is talking, you will think that Keoman is the only coach that inherited a troubled team.

Look at Tuchel that took over Chelsea mid season, are they not on their way to UCL final? Is he using the same players every match day?

The only thing Keoman knows how to do is to discourage performing players.

GrammarNazi1:
With all due respect, JP is too one dimensional. If we lost points against Granada it must only be because the coach rotated.

How about other factors such as not using proper replacements?

Not using a proper tactic?

Not adapting a tactic?

And if Pedri and others had played the earlier matches well, the loss against Granada would not be this costly, would it?

It's a good thing that Koeman didn't use Puig because if only he had used him and we lost, Puig would have either deservedly or undeservedly been the scapegoat.

Na wetin dey make me happy be this.

It's like that goal Puig scored after coming in 2/3 minutes into the game sealed his fate on the bench. Koeman reasoned the BEST way to limit Puig's shine is to not let him play at all. Cos it seems, it's the paltry 5 minutes Koeman gives Puig that he plays well than even the 2 starts he's given him.

jpmoriarti:
Tuchel inherited a very talented, large squad. Chelsea spent almost £200M to improve the squad. What do we have? Only Messi and Frenkie de Jong can dislodge a player in today's Chelsea team. So you can't really compare.
