Ronald Koeman discussion

[Blue Cheese]

His man-management skills appear to be non-existent...and that's half the battle.

I think this side of management is missing hugely at the moment. People laugh at Big Sam, Harry Redknapp etc but they know how to motivate teams, I swear down on my humble life I would rather Allardyce was in charge right now.

No mucking about, I'm pretty demoralised by Everton at the moment. We're in trouble and I'm not feeling that siege mentality of previous years, it's just a lot of lads that have given up with a coach who has no idea how to turn it round

Really demoralising feeling isn't it.

Think we'll do alright in the championship tbh

 

[Bakodaeko]

A lot of fans are dismissing this point .

He deserves Jan and summer transfer window imo as he has clearly under estimated the size of the job and the size of the club.

The early signs however is that his man -management skills are a concern.

Same here mate, looking at my young lad at the game today just sitting there today staring into space said it all for me.

 

[marnie]

He has embraced absolutely NOTHING about our club.Get him out.

Don't start. Bit early for that.

I think you're right. And guess what. Come January or the summer, Rom is gone, Ross is gone, probably McCarthy, Mirallas, possibly Coleman. The squad is going to get stripped

The thing is, there's just no leadership at any level in the Club. It's been clear for years we have an absolute cretin for a CEO, but who really owns the club and makes the big decisions? The club captain is Jagielka, but he's no leader and never has been. Koeman is never an Everton boss is he? Not inspirational, not prepared to work hard, sees us a corking money making venture, his reputation from his incredible professional career insulating him against failure.

The club is in trouble well beyond the dire pitch performances.

Losing these players bar lukaku is a positive

Could be a watershed moment today as we were well beaten by an average team at best.

If we lose these next 2 home fixtures his position may have become untenable and Mosh will have a decision to make. At the end of the day it's all about results.

It's sad really but this can't be allowed to go on for too much longer. The players look lost, and now we seemed to have resumed our habit of recent seasons of being unable to defend set pieces. We appear to be going backwards.

It's just not an Everton side mate. Players have gone from saying they'd die for Everton to this lot who feel like they are "in prison" playing for us. A manager who does the absolute bare minimum rather than turning over every stone to improve results. A "majority owner" who does all his communications through Jim White. The crap mid 90s sides were Everton sides, just bad ones. The 80s ones were us at our best. The Pienaar/Arteta years were us trying to get back to proper football after years of pragmatism.

This lot can all just lash themselves in the bin.

The other half is having decent players, of which we have 2

 

[Cork Evertonian]

Talk of relegation battles is a bit premature imo.We could win the next few games and shoot back up the table again.The Arsenal and Liverpool games are massive now.Obviously if it's the end of February and were in a dodgy situation i'll be a bit worried but im looking up the table for now.

 

[Dharma]

Hate the way he just sits there impassively while the team and tactics he puts out are an embarressment
to the name of Everton.
He really doesn't want to be here does he? but for £6million a year he'll happily sit it out.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Worryingly, 5 away defeats on the bounce now.

That would do right now.

I said max. Realistically I expect a point at hull and defeat at Leicester.
