I think we need a manager who the players can relate to, can warm to, who will bring the best out of them with personal skills. Despite Koeman’s undoubted achievements as player and manager, it seems like this is part of him that is missing. I’ve never known such unrest, murmurings, falling out. Maybe he was too distant, too hard. The players, god love them, maybe sometimes need an arm around them as well as someone who brings respect and tactical knowledge.
Don’t ask me who that is though...
In other words, Koeman was Dutch.
