Ronald Koeman discussion

[davek]

No, but his actions over the past few years put us further out of reach to the 'elite' than we have been in a while...

Not really. Much of a muchness if you ask me - that zone between our 'traditional' 7th spot and a few places below at midtable in RMs last two seasons. Not a fundamental distinction in reality, though significant in some people's eyes...the ones who care about such patronising labels as 'best of the rest'.

Many seasons start off in the Prem or old Div 1 with a minnow or a team that you don't expect at the top, for a few weeks,
then they drop like a stone. (Only Leicester proving me wrong). I genuinely think that we are that stone this season.
The teams above us at the moment will stay above us, the teams down to 17th place have better managers than we have,
the present bottom 3 have more fight in them than we do. Koeman is going to break the bank in January, and I think most
of us know, he should not be trusted, Sack him now! He has had the best Everton squad we have had in years, and we are
getting nowhere. Get Unsworth in with one of the backroom staff, just for the rest of this season. Mark my words: Koeman
will freeze against Liverpool (He's already said the RS are the best in the league), do you think that Dunc alongside
Unsworth & Royle will give us fight? I do.

*WILD APPLAUSE*

Truly astonishing.

He wasn't right. The ridiculously supine approach he had to the City and Chelsea games made them look like world beaters.

Chelsea are flying at the minute they even thumped a UTD/Mourinho team 4-0 and have won the last 6 games without conceding a goal so that point is valid!
I half agree with you on the City game as we sat back all game and allowed a constant flow of attacks, but they played brilliant that day and it could of been worse than the Chelsea game.

Well 7th more often than not gets European football.

11th is a bottom half finish.

interesting times ahead, he can dazzle with his in depth stats, then come the transfer window we can really see what this youngster is about

Since @moyes cardy essentially hid in the bushes permanently after his summer mini meltdown there's a gap in the market for this sort of thing.

 

[BlueToff]

Like how I'm now a 'retrospective' ITK for simply repeating what I put on here in the summer

I distinctly remember @orly having his doubts then, which is fine like.

 

[BlueToff]
