Ronald Koeman discussion

[maccavennie]

well done Ronald. Changed it up a bit and it worked. Popped Valencia and Lennon in for the graft and you know what, Walcott and Oxlade Chamberlain who are 2 massive threats didn't get a sniff tonight and that was massive. Coleman and Baines both had reliable players ahead of them and it worked a treat.

The players stepped up, we as the crowd got behind them and we all won the game.

You can set a team up, but it's up to them if they step up. In all the 40 years of attending Goodison, even in the title winning years the crowd always reacted to passion and aggression. They showed it tonight, we backed them.

@davek @Khalekan @Blue Cheese your boys took 1 hell of a beating.

We were plop until the crowd got involved at ~25 mins. Not saying that nothing else mattered, but that was the difference from what I saw.

It reminded me of a home game in Europe season before last.

Against Yarmalenko's team.

We were dire and trailing by a goal until the crowd collectively decided they had seen enough of Bobby's Philosophyball and roared the team back into life.

Yep. I'm firmly in "camp Koeman", but his lack of animation sometimes worries me. Think this group of players need constant motivation and kicking up the @rse. Hopefully this teaches all involved a few lessons.

No lack of animation when the winner went in.

Everton equalised just before half-time when Seamus Coleman glanced home Leighton Baines' excellent cross.

The Toffees, encouraged by a vocal crowd, dominated thereafter and Williams powered home a late header to complete the turnaround.

That is one main thing we've been missing. Made a huge difference. Gave us a twelfth man on the pitch.

edit:
actually that whole article is a pretty good read, especially on the bit about changing tactics.

Nothing like it frandel, nothing in this world.

Hates Everton and der Kids though la

I believe one factor in tonight's improved performance was the lack of Barry. I like him ,but I'm convinced he just hasn't got the legs for the type of game we played tonight and will hopefully continue.

You truly are a sad man.

And a boring one.

We won tonight.....be happy instead of trying to goad people whom are happier than you.

That is far too childish for words.

The crowd got so much praise tonight from the players, manager and pundits.

And Bolasie.

Our full backs are able to go marauding again without him getting in their way.

Remember a key moment just after all Arsenal's pass-it-around probing where we were standing off in the 1st 10 minutes.
Someone (probably Gana) put a slide tackle in in midfield.
The crowd sang like 5 or 6 songs on the bounce, full voice for the 1st time of the night.
Felt like we were trying to send a message "this is what we like to see".

Rightly so.
