Ronald Koeman discussion

[davek]

Why would you want Saitns to win a cup ahead of say United when it would mean we have less chance of qualifying for europe if that happened?

and why would you want any team below us in the pecking order getting a boost of winning a cup for mate?

Utterly strange

Have you found the stats which prove that Saints are playing more academy players than we are mate? Still waiting for that

The EL?! FFS, do you really want a new team that's getting forged to be bogged down in the football equivalent of the Vietnam War?

Ok mate, be my guest, see us get a EL place...but dont start objecting when some of us bemoan the massive turkey of a PL campaign next season.

So what?!

Very nonchalant for a supporter of a team that's won the square root of f.a. for 22 years.

So what? I'll tell you so what - I for one would chop a finger off to see Everton win a trophy again....one of FootLongHotDogs, obviously!

So what in that Southampton are in a semi. So are Hull.

Utterly arsed.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Southampton are not going to win the League Cup or even make the final so we can bin that argument for starters.

Will be interesting to see how many of Puel's young prodigies make the starting line up for the big game. I'll wager none.

Let me ask you this: would you be arsed if we won the LC?

You could be right mate seeing as none started their last league game.

With all respect he's not going to play youngsters in the second leg of a semi - final is he?

 

[Dirty Dutch]

Dirty lad, what's so "special" about games against those teams (apart from a local derby)?

That epitomises the small time outlook that sees 7th as ok.

Its not small its realistic.

...but they WILL have the chance of playing in a big game. Ours will be on their x-boxes and eating pizza.

Yeah.

But we got knocked out, so arsed that Southampton and Hull are in a semi.

Why not? I thought these are the ridiculous standards we are judging Koeman by now? Koeman apparently disregarded this wealth of academy talent at Southampton because he 'doesn't trust youth players' (despite doing so at every other club he's been at). I'm sure if those players are so good and Puel is the polar opposite we'll see them in action on Wednesday and not the players that made up the bulk of Koeman's squad.

 

[davek]

Yeah.

But we got knocked out, so arsed that Southampton and Hull are in a semi.

I'm not doing cartwheels myself, but in the context of whether these players will be moving up in there careers or are considered to be lagging behind ours because S'ton are 11th in the league it's a valid point.

I wonder if Davies and Holgate would swap playing in the Everton first team under Koeman for sitting on the bench of a league cup semi under Puel.
