Ronald Koeman discussion

[Ernie]

Its that bad I actually think we are going to be in a relegation scrap

We don't create anything and we leak goals, I recipe for disaster

 

[moyes cardy]

There's an obvious lack of commitment,passion within the squad, and I expect him to resign. He doesn't appear to be the type of manager who will hang around to risk having his reputation shattered by a bunch of under-performing prima donnas.

Take a tablet and face the wall.

Everton V Manchester United
Watford V Everton

Everton V Liverpool
Leicester City V Everton
Hull City V Everton

Be genuinely surprised to pick up more than 3 points from the above.

What did he say now?

that he wished he'd gone to Stoke

 

[moyes cardy]

Our position in November does not matter.

We can't predict the future either although some on here seem to think they can.

Mmmm, we need a bit of luck. I think we need a bit more than that. If he thinks the second half is acceptable then I'm scared.

Poor starts are a mystery to Koeman

Ronald Koeman says he finds it hard to explain why his Everton side have found it so difficult to hit the ground running in matches this season.

Before the international break his side struggled early on against Chelsea and then last weekend against Swansea the Blues seemed half asleep until the second half.

Today against Southampton it took the hosts just 42 seconds to take the lead which won them the game, but Koeman says the second half was much better, which seems to be the story of our season so far.

“It’s sometimes difficult to explain why,” he said when asked about Everton’s persistently poor starts to games this season.

“It’s Everton’s kick off in the game and then I think after 10 seconds we lost the ball from Gana to Lennon.

“Not really good defending position in the box and that makes it difficult.

“I can’t complain about our second half, we put a lot of effort in on the pitch and it’s difficult to score the goals at the moment.

“I think the start of Southampton in the game was better than our start and the 1-0 so fast in the game makes it difficult.

“They drop back with a lot of ball possession.

“I think it was a game that had to see more goals from Everton and also from Southampton because they had the chances in the second half to kill the game but we had some chance in, in my opinion, a good second half.

“Much better than the first half, again, and that’s the problem – how we start the game.

“It’s all about winning the game. Maybe it’s easy to say this but we need to work hard and start better than we started today.

“We need to repeat that performance of the second half because that’s how we need to play but we also need a bit of luck.”

Can someone photo-shop Koeman's gob on that Comical Ali photo?

This feller is supposed to be no nonsense and tells it like it is?

Lol.

Possibly another draw at Leicester and with the rub of the green and a bout of Cholera amidst the opposition team... maybe even Watford

The mess of the previous era will take time to sort - there is no magic wand. What did you expect a bottom half team to top 4 in 6 months? Expectations are far to high and some of the usual trolls of doom need a reality check.

I would expect a team who came 11th twice to have a shot on target in 180 minutes of football like...

The mess DOES need sorting out and it will take time. Nowt to do with any previous era though as the main problems (ie the mentally weak players) are still there.

 

[maccavennie]

I think we have a horrible combination of players who want to leave, players who know they aren't wanted and players coming to the end of their careers

in a nutshell mate I think you are spot on. it's where your manager has to be cute when it comes to publicly saying how many players you want in. I actually think half of these no marks know they haven't got actually future and have thrown in the towel already.

 

[Moomin]

We are third bottom in the form table, only Hull and Palace below us.

And then we all die...imagine being in a trench with you..

I'm normally pretty optimistic, just can't see us picking up more than that. I don't want him out or anything, just my thoughts.

And i would have been surprised at the beginning of the season if I would have been told that we would get a point against Spurs/City but get beat by Burnley/Bouremouth.
